In colourful Nairobi, we check out the fantastic African crafts at the local market, feed the giraffes at the Giraffe Manor and spend time with orphaned elephants at the elephant orphanage. Heading to the Rift Valley lakes, we hope to see the thousands of pink flamingos, which create a colourful carpet across the water surface. At Lake Nakuru our game drives take in a vast amount of bird life and hopefully white rhino, while at Lake Naivasha we'll go for a boat ride looking for hippos. We'll spend two full days in the spectacular grasslands of the Masai Mara watching for plains game - wildebeest, zebra and gazelle - closely followed by the predators - lion, hyena, cheetah and the elusive leopard. If you would like a few days rest and relaxation, why not add a Zanzibar Beach Break after your safari?
