Day 4: Lake Nakuru National Park (Approx 5-6hr drive)
Leaving the Masai Mara after breakfast, you'll travel across the ‘breadbasket’ of Kenya, where acres of wheat & barley cover the landscape as you head North to Narok, the district headquarters of this part of Masailand. Now travel across the vast plains on the floor of the Rift Valley, keeping an eye out for herds of giraffe and gazelle as you head up the Mau Escarpment, before arriving at your destination, Lake Nakuru. The waters here are often coloured shimmering flamingo pink, from thousands of the beautiful birds lining its shores. Once in the park, there will be a game drive en route to the lodge. Following lunch you continue to Lake Naivasha where you overnight at the Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge

Following an early morning game drive and breakfast you’ll hopefully catch your last clear early morning view of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as you leave Amboseli behind; heading West to the colourful border town of Namanga.

Then turn North along a good tarmac road across the beautiful and seemingly never ending Athi Plains, arriving in Kenya's bustling capital city of Nairobi by midday.
