Masai Mara Game Reserve.
We leave Lake Naivasha for the Masai Mara Game Reserve, driving through some lovely bush land scenery en route. Our journey takes us through the floor of the Rift Valley and then up the Mau Escarpment. Continuing through Masai land, past open plains and steep hills, we will pass through the busy Masai market town of Narok, a riot of colour as the red cloaks of the men and the bright colors of the women clothes mingle with the many shop fronts, goats and piles of fruit and vegetables for sale. From here we will complete our drive to our comfortable camp tented camp at Sarova Mara Camp. We are going to be based at Kenya's top game reserve for the next three nights with full day’s programme of game drives and bird watching in the reserve. The park is a wonderfully atmospheric place.

Lunch, dinner and two overnight at Sarova Tented Camp.

Day 10:
Nairobi.
Sadly, today we have to leave Masai Mara which has been our home and wildlife theatre for the last four days for a long return drive to Nairobi bird watching enroute.  On our eventful arrival back at Nairobi, we will make our way to the airport for your outbound flight back home.

Grading.
Kenya is an all year round bird watching destination, although some of the top daily totals have been recorded in April and May when the rainy season coincides with our bargain birding safari and the migration of birds to and from Europe, Asia and Intra-African migrants.

Weather.
During our tour we can expect most days to be fairly sunny, temperatures ranging from 20- 30^oC, depending on altitude. Overcast weather, particularly in the afternoons, may not be frequent and rain is likely especially on high ground such as Lake Naivasha. During this time of the year there are high possiblity of the the weather being chilly and cold between sunset and sunrise.
