Explore Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara on a 4-day Kenya safari from Nairobi with rhinos, giraffes, lions, Big Five opportunities and scenic Rift Valley landscapes.
The 4-Day Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara Safari from Nairobi combines two of Kenya’s most rewarding wildlife destinations in one well-paced itinerary.
Begin at Lake Nakuru National Park, a scenic Rift Valley park known for its rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, lions, leopards and diverse birdlife. Then continue to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, where open grasslands provide excellent opportunities to encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and other wildlife.
The combination works particularly well for travelers who want to experience rhino country and classic Maasai Mara savannah without committing to a much longer safari.
You will have time for game drives in both destinations, including a full day in the Maasai Mara. During the migration season, the Mara can also offer opportunities to see large concentrations of wildebeest and zebra, although migration timing and river crossings depend on natural conditions.
With Horizon Explorer Africa Safaris, your safari can be tailored around your travel dates, accommodation preferences and interests.
