Day 1: Nairobi
A uniformed Old Line Safari Company representative meets you on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transports you to Nairobi's Serena hotel, a family friendly establishment, where your room awaits you. For the rest of the day, you may relax and catch up with the time zone or opt to visit the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum (made famous in the film Out of Africa) at no extra charge.(D)
Days 2 and 3: Maasai Mara National Reserve
The day begins with a pre-safari briefing from your safari guide. At 10:00 A.M., you board your flight to the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve and, for 45 minutes, wing your way west over the dramatic Great Rift Valley. You'll spend two nights at Keekorok lodge, with the night sounds of the game and the fresh scent of the earth, grass, and bush around you. The ritual becomes addictive: early morning game drives to watch the waking plains, then back to the camp for lunch followed by a siesta. Explore the Kids Club, swim or sunbathe, or write in your journal before tea and a late-afternoon guided walk or drive.
Day 4: Naivasha
At the crack of dawn, you may take to the skies, if you choose, in a hot air balloon for a spectacular "hawk's eye view" of the game-studded plains, providing a memorable experience of the fabled Mara. After breakfast, you drive to the serene Malu, a private reserve nestled in an ancient Cedar forest with sweeping views over the Great Rift Valley. At Malu, many out door adventures awaits us; we can choose to engage in casual, informative, walk with resident
Day 5: Lake Nakuru National Park
We wake up to a sumptuous breakfast before leaving for a two-hour drive that gets us to Lake Nakuru where we have the chance to see the greatest bird spectacle in the world. A million or so flamingoes, beside pelicans and cormorants make Lake Nakuru a bird lover's paradise. A game drive through the various habitats of the park will certainly reveal why the park earned its status as a RAMSAR site as well as one of the best performing Rhino sanctuaries in Africa. Picnic lunch at the baboon cliff with a panoramic view of the lake. Overnight Malu (B, L, D)
Day 6: Naivasha
Morning at leisure. In the afternoon we could opt for a boat ride in the nearby Lake Naivasha. The only fresh water Rift Valley Lake in Kenya, we undertake a memorable hippo cruise spiced with bird watching opportunities. Dinner and overnight in Malu (B, L, D
