4-Day Tour in Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivash, Masai Mara from Nairobi

x 4 Safari Jeep for the easy and scenic road trip along the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Along our route, we’ll take in the dramatic rise of the escarpment walls. We’ll make stops to rest and enjoy the natural expanse of the land. Arriving at Lake Naivasha, we’ll take a fun sailing safari across this freshwater lake, gliding past hippos and catching sight of pelicans, cormorants, and maybe some antelope grazing on the shore. Then we’ll hop over to nearby Crescent Island for a guided walking tour of this unique private reserve. This is the best way to get close to gently grazing zebra, buffalo, giraffe, impala, and gazelle. Our third park of the day takes us to Lake Nakuru – a visual feast with the lake bordered by acacia forest, towering rocky escarpments, waterfalls, and wooded hills. The bird and wildlife are just as diverse – pelicans, kingfishers, storks, herons, eagles

Along our route, we’ll make stops to relax and to enjoy the vistas as we head into Masai country. Arriving at the reserve in the afternoon we’ll break for lunch amidst the rolling hills and golden grasslands of the great park. The Masai Mara is home to thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of herding wildlife crossing its timeless plains. We’ll set out on the first of many game drives on our three days in this world-famous reserve. If there are any special requests you have, please share them with your driver/guide. He’s only too happy to make your stay in the park unforgettable.

If you are here during the season of the Great Migration (June – October) you’ll witness an endless flow of herding wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, streaming into the park over the Mara River. But at any time of the year, be ready to discover the widest variety of animal life in the region, especially the big cats. The park is also home to buffalo, elephants, rhino, giraffes, and countless more wildlife. We’ll have a picnic lunch at the Mara River, scene of the animal crossing, and also home to hippo and waiting crocodiles. If you’d like to create some other unique memories, we offer several optional activities like a cultural encounter with the local Maasai people. Visit their nearby village, meet the original inhabitants of these lands, and learn about their herding lifestyle.

By now you’ve surely seen lots of wildlife but there’s always a new vista to discover and more wildlife to check off our list. We’ll settle back for a safari breakfast at our accommodation and then enjoy the fun of a final game drive as we exit the park, on our way back to Nairobi. Heading back to town we’ll pause to enjoy the views and lunch at a scenic location. We should arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon. Four days – four wildlife parks. You will feel like you’ve set upon every natural environment and the wildlife on which it thrives. We hope you took lots of photos and gathered plenty of memories as well. On behalf of your driver/guide and the team at Africa Kenya Safaris, we thank you for allowing us to show you our Africa!
