4-Day Maasai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi

Explore Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara on a 4-day safari with guided game drives, accommodation, and all meals included.

Getting started

Begin your 4-day safari with round-trip transfers that take you from your pickup point directly to your first park. After check-in at the accommodation detailed in your itinerary, you meet your expert driver and guide and board the safari minivan. Once everyone is ready, you head out toward the first game drive inside the park.

What to expect

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is compact with high wildlife concentrations, known especially for rhinos and rich birdlife around the lake and acacia woodland.

Features

• Game drives here focus on wildlife like both black and white rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, flamingos, and other birdlife, along with possible sightings of tree-climbing lions against scenic lake views and wooded hillsides.
• Time at viewpoints such as Baboon Cliff gives you elevated perspectives over Lake Nakuru, which photographers often use to capture the contrast between the water, shoreline, and surrounding landscape.
• Park entrance fees and game drives in Lake Nakuru, including visits to viewpoints such as Baboon Cliff, are included as part of your 4-day safari, so you can focus on the experience rather than on-site payments.
• While in this park, you travel in a safari minivan with communications and safety equipment, including two-way long-range high-frequency radio communications, a first-aid kit, an ice-chest, and a fire extinguisher, plus unlimited bottled water during game drives.

Maasai Mara National Reserve

Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for vast open savannah landscapes, Big Five sightings, and, in season, the Great Wildebeest Migration moving across the plains.

Features

• Sunrise and sunset game drives take you across the Mara’s endless plains, where you look for the Big Five, including lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino, along with cheetahs, giraffes, and other wildlife.
• During the Great Wildebeest Migration period from July to October, the Mara offers some of Africa’s strongest wildlife viewing and photography opportunities, with large herds and predator activity in the grasslands.
• Park entrance fees and game drives in Maasai Mara are part of the same 4-day safari in Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara, and you are accompanied throughout by an expert driver and guide with in-depth knowledge of flora, fauna, landscape, and Kenyan culture.
• A hot-air balloon safari in Masai Mara and a Masai village visit are available as optional extras at additional cost, so you can decide on the spot if you want to add them to your stay.

Features

• Accommodation as detailed in the itinerary is included across the 4-day safari, so your stays are pre-arranged for both Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara.
• All meals are covered, with buffets featuring both local and western dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so you do not need to plan separate dining during the safari.
• Throughout the 4-day safari, you travel in a safari minivan with communications and safety equipment, supported by a professional guide and driver with local expertise.
• The experience includes unlimited bottled water during game drives, round-trip transfers, and all government taxes, levies, and fees, so core logistics and mandatory charges are already taken care of for you.

Wrapping up

At the end of your final game drive in Maasai Mara, your driver returns you by road using the included round-trip transfers to your original drop-off point, concluding the 4-day itinerary.
