August 15th to 22nd 2017 - Masai Mara

05:45, our last break­fast in Naku­ru. The Flamin­go Hills Camp was very nice. Again we have a long tour ahead of us today. First we dri­ve to Lake Naivasha and do a boat safari. After­wards we are head­ing to the Masai Mara, our last des­ti­na­tion of the trip. We are accom­mo­dat­ed there again in the Mara Bush Camp - Pri­vate Wing. We have already been there twice. Yes­ter­day anoth­er guest in Naku­ru remarked: “if Africa is a meal then Masai Mara is the main course”.

August 15th 2017 - Boat safari on Lake Naivasha

First we went to Lake Naivasha, where we arrived around 9:30am. We were already expect­ed by our “cap­tain”.

In the for­est direct­ly in front of the boat pier we also found a group of black & white colobus mon­keys. From the boat we could observe var­i­ous birds and hip­pos, the high­light was an african fish eagle, which our boat guide lured with a fish. Unfor­tu­nate­ly I was not fast enough for this action, so that I got only one usable shot.

Here are some pic­tures of the boat safari:
