Can I add a hot-air balloon to this trip?

Yes — balloon safaris in the Mara are a popular add-on (weather and availability permitting). Ask at booking so we can secure seats.

Will I definitely see flamingos at Lake Nakuru?

Flamingo numbers at Lake Nakuru vary with water conditions. The park is renowned for its birdlife and rhino population even when flamingos are fewer.

How long is the transfer from Mara to Lake Nakuru?

Expect about 4–6 hours depending on route and stops; the transfer is scenic across the Rift Valley.

Are meals and park fees included?

Standard packages include lodge meals and park entry fees — MOUTI will itemise inclusions on your quote.
