4 Days Premium Mara Big Cats and Lake Naivasha Wildlife Circuit

Book a 4-day premium Maasai Mara big cat and Lake Naivasha wildlife safari with private game drives, luxury lodging and lakeside nature.

Search for Maasai Mara predators and iconic plains wildlife before completing your journey beside Lake Naivasha.

Our 4-Day Premium Mara Big Cats & Lake Naivasha Wildlife Circuit is designed for travellers seeking a concentrated predator and wildlife experience followed by a relaxing Rift Valley lakeside finale. From Nairobi, you will travel privately to the Maasai Mara for an afternoon game drive and a complete full-day safari focused on lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas, together with elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest and antelopes. Predator sightings remain natural and cannot be guaranteed, but our experienced guide will explore productive habitats and interpret tracks, behaviour and current wildlife movement. On Day 3, the journey continues through Narok to Lake Naivasha, where the landscape changes from open savannah to a calm freshwater environment. Your final morning may include a boat safari, guided birdwatching or Crescent Island nature walk when confirmed. Private transportation, premium lodging and carefully paced activities create a complete four-day Kenya wildlife circuit.

The Maasai Mara drives were exciting and well organised. We observed a lion pride, a cheetah scanning the plains and many elephants and giraffes.

Sunrise Predator Search in the Maasai Mara

The sunrise game drive was the most memorable part of the package. We found lions moving through the grass and hyenas returning from the plains.
