Overview

This five-day wildlife safari in Kenya focuses on three key natural areas: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Hell’s Gate National Park with Lake Naivasha nearby. The trip lasts about five days and includes all transportation and activities except those marked optional. The safari begins in the Maasai Mara, where guests take game drives across open savannahs to see the Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino. Depending on timing, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras may be visible. Visitors also tour a traditional Maasai village to observe local culture and dance. The stay offers a choice of luxury or budget camps. Next, the tour moves to Lake Nakuru National Park for a game drive that includes flamingos, rhinos, tree-climbing lions, giraffes, and other wildlife. The park’s varied landscape features lakeside views, acacia woodlands, and rocky cliffs, with notable viewpoints like Baboon Cliff. The final section covers Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park. A boat ride on Lake Naivasha allows viewing of hippos and birds; this boat trip is optional. At Hell’s Gate, guests can cycle or walk among zebras, giraffes, and antelopes while observing the park’s cliffs, gorges, and geothermal vents. Additional activities include hiking the gorge or rock climbing at Fischer’s Tower. The tour includes all transport, activities (unless optional), fees, and taxes. Optional extras such as the walking and Maasai village visit incur additional fees. Personal expenses, tips, extra accommodation before or after the tour, and airport transfers are not covered.
