If you want to visit two amazing parks where you have a great chance of seeing the Big Five, then the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are a perfect choice. Our 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari, featured among our Masai Mara Safari Deals, is designed for travelers like you.
Imagine spending two nights waking up in the savannah of the Masai Mara, followed by one night close to the beautiful shores of Lake Nakuru. It’s a wonderful way to experience two very different sides of Kenya in just four days.
If you have more time, you can also explore our Kenya Safari Packages and choose a longer safari that allows you to discover more destinations across Kenya.
Enjoy exciting game drives across the endless plains of Masai Mara, one of Africa’s most celebrated safari destinations and home to the Big Five animals.
Discover the beauty of Lake Nakuru, famous for its rhinos, flamingos, giraffes, and incredible birdlife. The park is also know as home of flamingoes because of the large population of the birds in the park.
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from Nairobi followed by a scenic drive towards the famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Along the way, you will stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint for breathtaking views and photography.
Continue the journey through Maasai villages and the beautiful Kenyan countryside before arriving at your safari camp or lodge in time for lunch. After some relaxation, head out for your first evening game drive in Masai Mara.
This first safari experience offers the chance to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and many other animals as the sun sets across the African plains.
Spend the entire day exploring the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, one of Africa’s best wildlife destinations. After an early breakfast, depart with packed picnic lunches for a full-day game drive across the endless savannah plains.
Masai Mara is home to the Big Five — lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffaloes — along with cheetahs, wildebeests, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species.
For travelers visiting during the peak wildlife season, don’t miss the spectacular Masai Mara Migration Safari where you can witness the world-famous wildebeest migration as thousands of animals cross the Mara River in one of nature’s greatest wildlife shows.
You can also choose to visit a traditional Maasai village for a cultural experience at an additional cost.
After breakfast, leave the Masai Mara and begin your journey towards Lake Nakuru National Park. Enjoy the scenic landscapes as you travel through small towns and the beautiful Great Rift Valley.
Arrive at Lake Nakuru in the afternoon, check in at your lodge or camp, and later head out for an evening game drive in the park.
Lake Nakuru is known for its rhino sanctuary, flamingos, Rothschild giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and beautiful lake views. Keep your eyes open for both black and white rhinos as you explore the park.
Start the day with an early morning game drive around Lake Nakuru National Park to enjoy more wildlife sightings and beautiful scenery.
After breakfast, begin your journey back to Nairobi with lunch en route. Arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon where you will be dropped off at your hotel or airport, marking the end of your unforgettable 4 Days Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari.
The main difference between our Budget and Mid-Range options is the accommodation. The safari program itself remains the same, including private transport, exciting game drives and meals as outlined in the itinerary.
If you would like to keep the cost lower, you can also choose a 4×4 safari van instead of a 4×4 Land Cruiser. Both provide a comfortable and enjoyable safari experience, while the safari van offers a more affordable option.
Your final safari price depends on your group size, travel dates, accommodation choice and room arrangement. Simply share your preferred dates and number of travelers, and we’ll prepare a personalized quotation for you.
