5-Day Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi

Meet your African driver-guide at your Nairobi hotel at 7 am for a trip briefing before heading to the Maasai Mara. Along the way, drive through the striking western walls of the Great Rift Valley and arrive in time for lunch.

Have your first Mara experience with an afternoon game drive through this special place.

A full day of game viewing awaits in the stunning Maasai Mara grasslands, providing a uniquely African panorama to complement the many photographs you'll no doubt be taking of animal encounters.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a hippo pool in the bush, and afterwards choose between continuing with your safari or visiting a traditional Maasai village.

After breakfast, depart for lovely Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake brimming with flamingos, hippos, and hundreds of other bird species.

Stop for lunch on the way, and that afternoon there are plenty of ways to enjoy the lake, from a boat trip to see the hippos up close to cycling, fishing, or bird watching.

Shortly after breakfast, depart for Nakuru National Park, a Rift Valley soda lake made famous for its huge population of pink flamingos that line the shores of Nakuru in their thousands, sometimes millions.

Have your best chance of seeing both black and white rhino during your game drive. Both species are protected by a sanctuary, so the park enjoys high concentrations of these rare animals. Lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, and waterbuck are also abundant.

Once you've finished breakfast, take one last safari in this incredible park before heading back to Nairobi, with a stop for lunch along the way.
