From Nairobi: 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari With Stays, and Entry Fees

Explore Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru on a 4-day safari from Nairobi with game drives, transport, and accommodation included as per your chosen option.

Getting started

Begin your 4-day safari with pickup in Nairobi, where you meet your professional driver-guide and board your pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle. Once everyone and luggage are on board, you leave the city and start the journey toward the Great Rift Valley and on to Masai Mara. Park entry fees and all transfers as per the itinerary are already arranged, so you focus on the road ahead.

What to expect

Masai Mara National Reserve

Spend two nights in Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa's most famous wildlife areas and the core focus of this safari.

Features

• Game drives in Masai Mara are carried out in a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle, giving you open views as you search for big cats, grazing herds, and, when in season, the great wildebeest migration crossing the savannah.

• Your professional driver-guide uses local knowledge to track wildlife and explain animal behavior while you remain comfortably seated in the vehicle.

• Park entry fees for Masai Mara are included, and drinking water is provided in the vehicle throughout the game drives.

• You stay in tented camps or hotels with budget, comfort, or luxury accommodation throughout the safari, depending on whether you selected the Private 4-Day Safari Package with Budget, Comfort, or Luxury Accommodation or the Shared 4-Day Safari Package with Budget or Comfort Accommodation.

• All meals in Masai Mara follow the itinerary schedule, so you have lunch and dinner on Day 1 and all meals on Day 2 and Day 3 without needing to arrange anything yourself.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Travel on to Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its birdlife and rare species, for further wildlife viewing.

Features

• Lake Nakuru National Park is included in this itinerary, giving you a chance to see white rhinos, flamingos along the lake shore, and other wildlife in a compact park setting.

• Game drives here also use your pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle, allowing easy viewing of the lake, surrounding woodland, and open areas from within the same safari vehicle used in Masai Mara.

• Park entry fees for Lake Nakuru are covered, and drinking water remains available in the vehicle during your time in the park.

• Meals at Lake Nakuru follow the itinerary, including all meals on Day 3 and breakfast and lunch on Day 4 before you return to Nairobi.

Nairobi and the Great Rift Valley route

Your journey starts and ends in Nairobi, with road travel through the landscapes of the Great Rift Valley.

Features

• Pickup and drop-off in Nairobi are included, so you start and finish the safari in the city without arranging your own in-country transport for the tour days.

• All transfers as per the itinerary are included, covering the segments between Nairobi, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru in your pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle.

• As you drive through the Great Rift Valley, you can observe its escarpments and open vistas from the vehicle while your driver-guide provides context about the region.

• Drinking water in the vehicle is provided throughout the transfers, and all government taxes and levies related to the safari are included in your booking.

Safari format and accommodation options

The experience is structured as a 4-day safari that can start any day, subject to availability, with several format options to match how you like to travel.

Features

• You can choose a private safari, not shared with others, by selecting one of the Private 4-Day Safari Packages with Budget, Comfort, or Luxury accommodation, which gives you exclusive use of the vehicle for your group.

• If you prefer a shared tour, there are Shared 4-Day Safari Packages in Budget or Comfort accommodation.
