4 Nights / 5 Days
A varied five-day lodge safari that pairs the predator-rich Maasai Mara with two Rift Valley lake highlights — Naivasha (boat trip) and Nakuru (flamingos & rhino). Comfortable lodges, daily game drives and a relaxed pace make this an excellent short circuit to sample Kenya’s wildlife diversity.
Highlights
Full days in the Maasai Mara viewing big cats, elephants, zebra and (seasonally) wildebeest migration crossings.
Lake Naivasha boat trip — hippo and waterbird viewing from a safe launch.
Lake Nakuru birding and rhino viewing — a highlight for birdwatchers and lovers of conservation stories.
Comfortable lodge accommodation throughout with lodge-based meals and expert local guides.
Optional Maasai Mara hot-air balloon on the full Mara day (pre-book and weather dependent).
08:00 — Depart Nairobi after pickup; stop at the Rift Valley viewpoint for photos. Arrive at Lake Nakuru by late morning.
Midday — Enter Lake Nakuru National Park for game viewing: look for white and black rhino, Rothschild’s giraffe, waterbuck and resident predators. Birdlife around the lake is prolific; flamingo flocks may be present seasonally. Picnic or lodge lunch; further afternoon game drive.
Evening — Dinner and overnight at a lodge near Lake Nakuru.
Morning — Optional early morning viewpoint visit (Baboon Cliff) and second game drive inside Nakuru if desired. Depart mid-morning for Lake Naivasha.
Afternoon — Boat trip on Lake Naivasha to view hippos and a rich waterbird assemblage. Explore local wetlands and shoreline. Dinner and overnight at Naivasha lodge (example: Kongoni Lodge / Sopa Lodge or similar).
Morning — After breakfast depart Naivasha and drive down the escarpment across the Great Rift Valley floor to Maasai Mara. Arrive for lunch and a midday rest.
Afternoon — First Mara afternoon game drive into the reserve. Dinner and overnight at a Mara lodge.
Full day of game drives across the Mara’s wildlife-rich plains. Expect to see plains grazers, predators and resident wildlife in high densities; if visiting during migration season, Mara River vantage points may offer dramatic crossings. Optional early-morning hot-air balloon and champagne breakfast (book in advance). Dinner and overnight at Mara lodge.
Early morning game drive for last sightings, return to lodge for breakfast and check-out. Depart the Mara and return to Nairobi with drop-off at your hotel or the airport late afternoon.
