5-Day Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari

Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve

Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where your Africa Exquisite Tours representative will welcome you, provide a safari briefing, and introduce you to your professional driver-guide. Depart for the Masai Mara, pausing at a Rift Valley viewpoint to appreciate the dramatic scenery.

Arrive at your lodge or camp in the early afternoon, check in, and enjoy lunch. Later, head out for your first game drive, with opportunities to see elephants, buffalo, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, cheetahs, leopards, and a wide variety of birds. Return to camp before dark for dinner and your overnight stay.

Full Days in the Masai Mara

Spend two full days exploring the Masai Mara on flexible, private game drives. With your experienced driver-guide, choose a schedule that suits your interests: early morning and late-afternoon drives, a full morning with picnic breakfast, or a full-day safari with a picnic lunch.

Look for the reserve’s famous predators, large elephant and buffalo herds, and abundant plains wildlife. Depending on the season, you may also witness wildebeest and zebra movements associated with the Great Migration.

During your stay, visit a Maasai village for an authentic cultural encounter. Meet community members, enjoy traditional songs and dance, learn about Maasai traditions and daily life, and gain a respectful understanding of their close connection to the land and wildlife.

Masai Mara – Lake Nakuru National Park

After an early breakfast, depart the Masai Mara with a final game drive en route. Travel through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving in time for lunch and check-in at your lodge or camp.

In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive around the lake and surrounding woodlands. The park is especially known for its black and white rhino populations, as well as giraffes, buffalo, lions, leopards, zebras, pelicans, and flamingos when conditions are favourable.

Lake Nakuru – Nairobi

Enjoy breakfast, then depart with a game drive en route, subject to your accommodation location. Travel back to Nairobi, arriving in time for a farewell lunch at the well-known Carnivore Restaurant.

After lunch, you will be transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward flight.
