Day 1 Arrival in Nairobi<br />
We pick you up at the International Airport in Nairobi and accompany you to the hotel. Spend the rest of the day relaxing and getting ready to start<br />
your Africa adventure. Overnight and breakfast at the Southern Sun Mayfair Hotel<br />
Day 2 - Lake Magadi (Lake Soda)<br />
Your safari starts at Magadi Lake. It is the southernmost of the great lakes of <strong>Kenya</strong> and is located 80 km from Nairobi. We will pick you up at the hotel<br />
in Nairobi after breakfast and drive towards the Tanzanian border: past the famous Ngong mountains (also known as the film "Beyond Africa") into the<br />
Great Rift Valley. En-route is Olorgesaille one of the most famous archaeological sites in East Africa where archeologists Louis and Mary Leakey<br />
discovered not only the fossils of the early methods of man, but also the world's largest collection of fist wedges and hand axes. Accompanied by your<br />
guide tour the prehistoric site and learn how the early hominids have developed in the savannahs of Africa and why their fossil remains have been<br />
preserved over millions of years in the sediment of the lakes. Afterwards drive to Magadi and have lunch picnics at the hot springs of Soda ash. On the<br />
lakeside you will experience flamingo colonies, pelicans, goshawk and other water birds. Then cross the lake on the road to Ol 'Kiramatian and learn<br />
how the salt mixtures are mined at the lake. On the other side, you climb up the adjoining mountain slopes on Magadi Lake. From above you can<br />
enjoy a fantastic view of the entire lake and parts of the moat and walk along the rocky slopes. Our local guide is part of the Maasai tribe and will tell<br />
us about the traditions and ways of life of the local Masai people. In the late afternoon return to Nairobi. In the hotel you can have dinner and relax<br />
from the day. Overnight and breakfast at the Southern Mayfair<br />
Day 3: Lake Naivasha<br />
Today you drive to Naivasha, the 2nd Rift Valley Lake on your tour, where you will be taken to Crescent Island. The tour usually takes 2 hours and you<br />
can explore both the lake and the island with all the birds and animals. Once you arrive at the island, you will meet the guide near the pier. Your guide<br />
will show you the best animals: giraffes, hippos, Grant's gazelles, the fox and maybe even the rare pythons. The boat will take you back to Lake<br />
Naivasha Country Club, where you will have lunch. The rest of the day is at leisure. Dinner and overnight at Lake Naivasha Country Club.<br />
Day 4: Lake Elementaita<br />
Today you will continue to Lake Elementaita where you will take a hike to "Sleeping Warrior", a hill that has the profile of a sleeping Maasai warrior. On<br />
the shore you can watch pelicans. All meals and overnight at the The Pelican Lodge
