On Day 3, you will travel through Narok and the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru, where the landscape changes from open grassland to woodland and lakeshore habitats. The final morning focuses on rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, possible predators and waterbirds before returning to Nairobi.

Predators, Rhinos and Rift Valley Scenery

The full-day Mara safari was outstanding for predator photography, while Lake Nakuru provided a completely different environment.

Outstanding Four-Day Kenya Photo Journey

5/5

The full-day game drive gave us enough time to wait for natural wildlife behaviour rather than chasing sightings. Lake Nakuru added rhinos and birds to our portfolio. Both properties were comfortable, and the entire itinerary felt organised and personal.

Premium Big Cats and Rhino Photography

5/5

Our main goals were big cats and rhinos, and this package offered strong opportunities for both. The guide remained realistic and never guaranteed anything, but his knowledge and patience produced excellent results. The final morning at Lake Nakuru was especially rewarding.
