This four-day Land Cruiser safari pairs the Maasai Mara, famous for its big cats and the Great Migration, with Lake Nakuru National Park, a protected sanctuary for rhino and a paradise for birdlife.

Why go

The Mara gives you classic big-game viewing on open plains. Lake Nakuru adds something different: black and white rhino, Rothschild's giraffe, flamingos on the lake shore and hundreds of other bird species.

How the trip runs

Day 1: morning pickup in Nairobi, a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley and an afternoon game drive in the Mara.

Day 2: a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch. A sunrise balloon flight and a Maasai village visit can be added.

Day 3: a morning drive in the Mara, then the drive to Lake Nakuru for an afternoon game drive.

Day 4: a morning game drive at Lake Nakuru, then the drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon.

Good to know

Includes a 4×4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, an English-speaking driver-guide, park fees, accommodation, all meals and bottled water.
