Overview
Kenya is one of Africa’s most exciting countries. There are over 30 game reserves as well as large private ranches teeming with buffalo, elephant, giraffe, rhino, gazelle, wildebeest, big cats, and numerous other species. There are lakes lush with flamingos and a myriad of colorful birds – an ornithological paradise.
The Great Rift Valley straddles the heart of the country with its spectacular scenery and silent volcanoes, while the east coast is fringed with the white beaches and marine parks of the Indian Ocean. There are steep mountains (Africa’s highest), deep forests, arid deserts, and turquoise lagoons. The country lies astride the equator but the climate is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 27 °C at the higher altitudes and from 22 to 35 °C at sea level.
Summary
This safari begins and ends in Nairobi. It is for 7 nights and 8 days. The safari takes you to the central Kenya to the Aberdares National Park, then to the Great Rift Valley where you get to see some of the Rift Valley lakes, Lake Bogoria and Lake Naivasha. You finish your safari with the famous Maasai mara game reserve and back to Nairobi for your flight back home.
7 Nights And 8 Days Adventure Safari
Day 1: Nairobi-Treetops 
After your breakfast at 0800 hrs. our tour driver will pick you and you embark for your trip to the Abardare National Park. Your trip will be through the industrial town of Thika and the intensely cultivated farms of the central Kenya.

The Aberdares ranges lie at an altitude of 2,134 to 4,268 meters. It is home to the first tree hotel in Africa and harbors significant memories in world history. In 1952, Queen Elizabeth II learnt of her accession to the British throne while she was a guest at Treetops lodge following the death of her father, King George II. Accommodation on Full board basis.
Day 2: Treetops-Bogoria
You will enjoy your breakfast at this tree hotel and later embark into your tour van and drive to Lake Bogoria. You will arrive in good time to check in. The lake is a shallow soda lake set amidst beautiful scenery. Like the other Kenyan soda lakes, it has no outlet and the intense evaporation leads to high levels of salt and minerals, which flamingos love and from a distance the surface of the water appears bright pink. Next to the lake are steaming hot springs and geysers, but don’t be tempted to put your hands into the water if you are at all fond of your skin! Accommodation on full board basis

It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place.
