Book a 4-day premium Maasai Mara Big Five and Lake Nakuru rhino safari with private game drives, luxury lodging and iconic wildlife.
Our 4-Day Premium Mara Big Five & Nakuru Rhino Circuit is designed for travellers seeking a concentrated wildlife journey across two complementary Kenyan parks. Your safari begins from Nairobi and continues to Maasai Mara for an afternoon game drive and a full-day exploration in search of lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and wildebeest. Completing the Big Five cannot be guaranteed, but your guide will explore productive wildlife habitats responsibly. Day 3 continues through Narok to Lake Nakuru, where the final morning provides additional opportunities for black or white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards and waterbirds. Private transportation, premium lodging and personalised guiding create a comfortable four-day Kenya wildlife circuit.
Early Private Departure
At approximately 5:30 AM in Nairobi, our driver-guide will collect you and begin the private journey through the Great Rift Valley toward Narok. A breakfast or comfort stop will be included before continuing to the Maasai Mara. The drive normally takes five and a half to six and a half hours.
Afternoon Big Game Drive
After arriving, checking in and enjoying lunch, you will enter the Maasai Mara from approximately 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Our guide will search for lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and other plains wildlife across accessible habitats. Dinner follows at your premium lodge.
Sunrise Big Five Search
At around 6:00 AM, you will begin a full-day safari through open grasslands, woodland and riverine areas. The guide will search for lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards and other wildlife while interpreting tracks, behaviour and habitat. No specific species can be guaranteed.
Picnic and Afternoon Safari
At approximately 12:30 PM, you will enjoy a packed lunch at an authorised picnic site. From around 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, the wildlife search continues through another section of the reserve for cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras and possible predators. You will return for dinner.
Breakfast and Departure
At approximately 6:30–7:00 AM, you will enjoy breakfast and complete lodge check-out. Wildlife may still be observed while leaving the Mara area, depending on accommodation location and route. The journey then continues toward Lake Nakuru.
Premium Nakuru Overnight
The road transfer normally takes five and a half to seven hours depending on road conditions, stops and reserve exit. Lunch or refreshments will be arranged during the journey or after arrival. You will check into your premium lodge and rest before dinner.
Morning Rhino Search
At around 6:00 AM, you will begin a morning game drive inside Lake Nakuru National Park. Our guide will search for black or white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, zebras and waterbirds across the park’s varied habitats. Flamingo abundance changes naturally and cannot be guaranteed.
Breakfast and Nairobi Return
At approximately 9:15 AM, you will return for breakfast and complete lodge check-out. From around 10:30 AM, you will travel approximately 160 kilometres to Nairobi, generally taking three to four hours. Final drop-off will be provided at your confirmed destination.

The Booking Form
Book a 4-day premium Maasai Mara Big Five and Lake Nakuru rhino safari with private game drives, luxury lodging and iconic wildlife.
N.B: After you send your booking we will get back to you with in 24 hours.
1. Can we see the Big Five during four days?
It is possible, but not guaranteed. Wildlife moves naturally, and leopards and rhinos can be particularly difficult to locate.
2. Why add Lake Nakuru after Maasai Mara?
Lake Nakuru provides different landscapes and additional rhino-viewing opportunities. It also supports Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes and diverse birdlife.
3. Is the vehicle private?
Yes. The package is planned with a private vehicle unless stated otherwise in the final confirmation.
4. Are rhinos guaranteed at Lake Nakuru?
No. The park is important for rhino conservation, but sightings remain natural and depend on animal movement and visibility.
5. Will we see flamingos?
Flamingo numbers vary with lake conditions and food availability. They may be numerous, limited or absent.
6. Is the Great Migration included?
Migration experiences depend on season, rainfall and natural herd movement. River crossings cannot be guaranteed.
7. Is the full-day Mara drive tiring?
The programme includes observation stops and a picnic break. Reasonable adjustments may be discussed according to guest comfort.
8. What should we pack?
Bring neutral clothing, closed shoes, a warm morning layer, sunscreen, binoculars, cameras and personal medication.
9. Can senior travellers join?
Yes. Mobility, back and medical concerns should be shared before booking because some roads are uneven.
10. Can we add Lake Naivasha or Amboseli?
Yes. Either destination can be added to create a longer Kenya wildlife circuit.
