We can either stop here for a picnic lunch, or head back to the lodge for a hot meal. After lunch, we'll continue our search for the Big 5 in the Mara. Later, we'll return to the lodge, relax and maybe enjoy a dip into the pool. We can also arrange a trip to a Maasai village.

You'll also come eye to eye with the many hippos that are living on the shores of the lake. After the boat cruise, we'll proceed either to Nakuru, the third-biggest town of Kenya, or we'll stay in Naivasha. It all depends on your wishes for tomorrow's activity, which can either be a day spent at the beautiful Lake Nakuru (populated with white rhino), a bike ride through Hell's Gate National Park, or a game walk on Crescent Island.
