- Dinner and overnight accommodations are at the Lodge/Hotel. Optional night game drives to see nocturnal animals can be arranged at an extra cost.
- Sweetwaters is the only sanctuary in Kenya dedicated to the rehabilitation of widely abused chimpanzees, with two groups living in an environment as close to their natural habitat as possible.
- The site is also a dedicated black rhino breeding area.
- It is home to the fastest-growing population of rhinos in Africa.
- There are southern white rhinos, about 80 endangered black rhinos, and in a special sanctuary, there are two of the world's last remaining northern white rhinos.
- We leave camp/lodge after breakfast and drive to Lake Naivasha.
- We make a stop at the East African section of the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, a geological wonder of the world.
- Enjoy views of Mount Longonot, a stratovolcano with an 8x12 km caldera.
- We drive past the small Italian Catholic church built in 1942 during World War II, when Italians were prisoners of war, and Kenya was still a British colony until 1963.
- We arrive in time for lunch, and after a brief rest, we head out for the afternoon's activities.
- We begin with a one-hour boat ride on the only freshwater lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, which is home to hippos and over 400 bird species.

- Optional hot air balloon safari can be arranged at an extra cost of US$ 450 per person.

- The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.
- You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, leopards, many kinds of antelopes, and elephants.
- In the Mara, perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the annual migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture.
- Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna: lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.
- We have a very flexible itinerary, and game drives are tailored to your interests with our experienced professional safari guide.
- An early morning game drive with a picnic breakfast increases your chances of witnessing the sunrise and observing animals while they are still active.
- The morning serenity is indescribable; you simply have to experience it.
- The Mara River, where river crossings occur in July, August, and September, is the main water body winding through this paradise.
- Hippopotamuses and Nile crocodiles call this area home, making it the best place in the reserve to catch a glimpse of them as they bask on the riverbanks.
- The Sand River is another picturesque area in the Masai Mara, located right at the border with the endless plains of the Serengeti.
- Throughout the journey, our safari guide will explain more about nature as it unfolds before you, ensuring you capture the best angles for your photos.
- Later, you will retire to your strategically located safari camp for a sumptuous dinner and overnight stay.
