This is a fantastic safari if you only want a short tour and includes a night at the famous Treetops!
Aberdares is a beautiful region of Kenya and home to Africa's second-highest peak, Mount Kenya, while Treetops is a world famous hotel due to its historical royal connections.
Lake Nakuru is famous for its huge population of pink flamingos and pelicans that congregate in this alkaline lake. In fact, at some times there are over 1.5 million flamingos and pelicans on the lake! The park is also home to Kenya’s largest population of rhinos.
The Masai Mara is the best and most well known of all Kenya's National parks. The big 5 are here - buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino - plus huge numbers of giraffe, wildebeest, cheetah, gazelle, hippopotamus, impala, and topi. There are millions of animals in the park, and between July and October the wildebeest migration brings in millions more wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in Tanzania.
Pinewood Village is a small boutique hotel with a relaxed ambience, friendly staff, and a much more personal feel to it than some other hotels. The highlight is the superb white sandy beach but many of our customers love the gardens which are filled with birds and monkeys. By the main restaurant is a most beautiful fish pond. Bright yellow Golden Palm Weavers are here and you could spend the whole time just watching them.
Every evening there is a different theme, so it could be from an English Roast to a Mongolian dinner. It is also possible to have candlelit dinners on the beach. The food is good and fresh, and because they have a vegetable garden some guests even pick their own vegetables for the chef to cook for them. There is also an informal, cosy new restaurant down at the beach in a magical setting. Here you may be served a BBQ dinner with entertainment. And if you like pizza then try the pizza oven near the beach. This is actually built into some old coral, and the chef here makes delicious thin-crust pizzas. All the ingredients he uses are fresh. Superb!
