Thirty minutes’ drive from Elementaita, the lake is situated in the middle of the national park to which it gives its name. Teeming with wildlife, the park has so much to offer. Sometimes, when the water levels are low, the entire lake is covered in flamingos, turning the whole area pink. Lions, buffalos, and many rhinos call this corner of Kenya home, and a game drive around the park is always rewarding. If we are lucky, we may even spot a leopard relaxing in a tree beside the lake.

Back at the camp, dinner is served and gives us the perfect opportunity to look back at our day and relive all those highlights.

          DAY 5: Safari in the Mara

          After breakfast this morning, we drive across the plains, searching for the Big Five and other plains games. The early mornings are one of the best times to view the animals as this is when they are their most active before the heat of the day sets in, and after a mid-morning of relaxation and lunch, head out into the reserve for a chance to tick off some more animals on your “must-see” list. Keep your eyes peeled as you hunt for the last members on your list.
