Safari Overview

A 5-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Lake Naivasha Safari is a perfectly balanced journey through Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife and scenic Rift Valley destinations. This safari is ideal for travelers who want classic Big Five game viewing, dramatic landscapes, and immersive nature experiences without rushing from place to place. Over five carefully planned days, you’ll move from the legendary plains of the Masai Mara to the birdlife-rich shores of Lake Nakuru and the tranquil waters of Lake Naivasha—each destination offering a completely different yet equally unforgettable experience.

In the Masai Mara, expect thrilling game drives across endless savannahs teeming with wildlife—lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra. Lake Nakuru National Park delivers close-up encounters with endangered rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and thousands of flamingos lining the lake’s edge. At Lake Naivasha, the safari slows down, allowing you to enjoy peaceful boat rides among hippos, guided walking safaris, and scenic landscapes that showcase Kenya’s softer, more serene side. This safari blends adventure, relaxation, and rich wildlife diversity into one unforgettable journey.
