1 CLASSIC JOURNEYS KENYA WILDLIFE SAFARI: THE SPECIAL SAROVA SOUTHBOUND SAFARI - AUGUST 2016 Day 1: NAIROBI On arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met by our representative who will transfer you to the Sarova Panafric Hotel for check in and overnight stay. You will find a city that is lively, cosmopolitan and full of contrasts. It's a place of smart office workers, mansions and expensive suburban shopping centers as well as overcrowded slums of people trying to struggle on as best they can. Nairobi, one of Africa's major cities: the UN's fourth "World Centre", and East Africa's hub for commerce and aid, displays enormous vitality and buzz. It's hard to imagine a city with a more fascinating variety of people, and almost all of them newcomers. Most are immigrants from rural areas, drawn to the presence and opportunities of money, and

2 Nairobi seems to accept everyone with complete tolerance. It s hard to imagine that this city celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1999 and that where it now stands, only Maasai manyatas stood barely a century ago! Overnight stay: Sarova Panafric Hotel Meal Plan: Bed and breakfast Day 2: NAIROBI LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK 0800hrs. After your breakfast, you will depart for the Lake Nakuru National Park with a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley view point for some photo taking before proceeding with the drive to arrive in time for check in and lunch at the Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. You will then spend the afternoon at leisure before going for the evening game drive around the lake till dusk when you return to your lodge. Lake Nakuru s claim to fame is anchored on its flamingo s and the over 400 species of birds found here. The lake itself is a soda lake on the floor of the rift valley. The sight of the at times millions of flamingos is quite spectacular. From a distance the lake appears ringed in pink. The Lake has also earned a reputation as an important haven for endangered species- particularly the Rothschild Giraffe and the black and white rhino. Lions, water buck, buffalo and baboons are all residents here. Overnight: Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge.

You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures. Overnight: Mara Sarova Game Camp.
