Masai Mara Lake Nakuru Safari
3 NIGHTS / 4 DAYS
Embark on a thrilling 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari, exploring two of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife destinations. This adventure begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi through the Great Rift Valley, offering stunning views along the way. Upon arrival at Masai Mara, enjoy your first game drive in a reserve famous for the Great Migration and home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Stay at the comfortable Masai Mara Sopa Lodge, perfectly located within the reserve for easy wildlife viewing. Day two is dedicated to exploring the vast plains of the Masai Mara.
Begin with a sunrise game drive, then relax at the lodge or take an optional cultural visit to a Maasai village or a guided nature walk with a naturalist. In the afternoon, head out again to witness the park’s rich biodiversity, from large herds of zebras and wildebeests to elusive predators like cheetahs and leopards. On day three, travel to Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its flocks of flamingos that paint the lake’s shores pink and its impressive birdlife with over 450 recorded species. Enjoy lunch and an afternoon game drive in search of white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, pelicans, and other rare wildlife.
Your accommodation for the night is the luxurious Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge, nestled within the park. Your final day begins with an early morning game drive, followed by breakfast at the lodge. After a relaxed start, return to Nairobi with the option to stop at Lake Naivasha for a boat ride. Depending on your flight schedule, you may also take a short Nairobi city tour before being transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. This safari promises unforgettable wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and cultural experiences, a perfect introduction to Kenya’s natural wonders.
