Continue onto beautiful Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley, where hundreds of flamingos cluster at the water’s edge and Groupies embark on a magical boat ride. The final stop is the legendary Masai Mara, home to the world’s biggest annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra, followed by predators like lions, cheetahs, hyenas and vultures.
