A varied five-day lodge safari that pairs the predator-rich Maasai Mara with two Rift Valley lake highlights — Naivasha (boat trip) and Nakuru (flamingos & rhino). Comfortable lodges, daily game drives and a relaxed pace make this an excellent short circuit to sample Kenya’s wildlife diversity.
Highlights
Full days in the Maasai Mara viewing big cats, elephants, zebra and (seasonally) wildebeest migration crossings.
Lake Naivasha boat trip — hippo and waterbird viewing from a safe launch.
Lake Nakuru birding and rhino viewing — a highlight for birdwatchers and lovers of conservation stories.
Comfortable lodge accommodation throughout with lodge-based meals and expert local guides.
Optional Maasai Mara hot-air balloon on the full Mara day (pre-book and weather dependent).
