Explore Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha on a 5-day Kenya safari with Big Five wildlife, game drives, a boat safari and Hell's Gate activities.
Big Five Wildlife, Lake Naivasha & Hell’s Gate Experiences
The 5-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha Safari combines two very different sides of a Kenya safari: extensive wildlife viewing in the Maasai Mara National Reserve and outdoor experiences around Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park.
The journey begins with game drives in the Maasai Mara, where you can search for lions, elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras and other wildlife. You then travel to the Great Rift Valley for a more active experience around Lake Naivasha, including a boat safari and optional walking or cycling at Hell’s Gate.
This makes the itinerary particularly suitable for travelers who want more variety than a conventional game-drive safari.
It works well for couples, honeymooners, photographers, families and international travelers looking for a five-day Kenya safari from Nairobi.
