Experience the best of Kenya’s wildlife and scenic beauty on a 6-day safari to Lake Naivasha, Nakuru National Park, and the Masai Mara. This exciting adventure, starting from Nairobi, combines the serene beauty of Lake Naivasha, the wildlife-rich Nakuru National Park, and the iconic savannahs of the Masai Mara. With Kenya Horizon Safaris, you’ll enjoy expertly guided game drives, luxurious accommodations, and unforgettable experiences in some of Kenya’s top safari destinations.

Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Naivasha

Your safari begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley. Along the way, take in the breathtaking views of the Rift Valley and enjoy a stop at a viewpoint for photos.

Upon arrival at Lake Naivasha, check into your lodge or camp. After lunch, take a relaxing boat ride on the lake, where you can spot hippos, water birds, and the occasional crocodile. The lake’s peaceful surroundings offer a perfect opportunity for birdwatching, with species such as the fish eagle, pelicans, and cormorants filling the air. In the evening, enjoy dinner at your accommodation and soak in the tranquility of the lake.

Day 2: Lake Naivasha to Nakuru National Park

After breakfast, drive to Nakuru National Park, known for its stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife. The park is home to over 400 bird species, including the famous flamingos that gather in large numbers along the shores of Lake Nakuru.

Enjoy a full-day game drive, where you can spot the Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes—as well as giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. The park also has a large population of rhinos, making it one of the best places to see both black and white rhinos in the wild. After a day of wildlife viewing, head back to your accommodation for dinner and a relaxing evening.

Day 3: Nakuru National Park to Masai Mara

On the third day, continue your journey to the Masai Mara, one of Africa’s most famous safari destinations. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife, the Mara is home to the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains.

After lunch at your lodge, head out for an afternoon game drive in the Masai Mara Reserve. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to spot the Big Five, as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and a wide variety of birds. As the sun sets, enjoy a sundowner in the bush, where you can soak in the beauty of the Mara’s vast plains.

Day 4: Full Day in Masai Mara

Spend the entire day in the Masai Mara, with morning and afternoon game drives. Early mornings offer the best chance to witness predators on the hunt or animals gathering near the Mara River. If visiting during the Great Migration, you may witness the dramatic river crossings, where wildebeest and zebras brave the crocodile-infested waters.

In between game drives, you’ll have the chance to relax at your lodge or camp. For those interested in Maasai culture, a visit to a Maasai village can provide fascinating insights into their traditional lifestyle and customs.

Day 5: Full Day in Masai Mara

Enjoy another full day of game drives in the Masai Mara, discovering more of the park’s hidden gems. From the wide-open savannahs to the dense woodlands, the Masai Mara offers diverse habitats and wildlife. Whether you’re watching lions lounging in the shade or a herd of elephants crossing the plains, each moment will be memorable.

Take time to enjoy the stunning landscape and spectacular sunsets that the Masai Mara is famous for. Your guide from Kenya Horizon Safaris will ensure you don’t miss any of the park’s incredible wildlife encounters.

Day 6: Morning Game Drive and Return to Nairobi

On your final day, enjoy one last morning game drive to capture any final wildlife sightings. Afterward, return to your accommodation for breakfast and then begin your journey back to Nairobi.
