4 Days Premium Rift Valley Overland Safari: Mara to Naivasha

Explore Kenya on a 4-day premium Rift Valley road safari from Maasai Mara to Lake Naivasha with private drives and luxury lodging.

Travel through Kenya’s Great Rift Valley for Maasai Mara wildlife, scenic road experiences and a peaceful Lake Naivasha finale.

Our 4-Day Premium Rift Valley Overland Safari: Mara to Naivasha is designed for travellers who want the road journey, wildlife and landscapes to feel like one connected Kenya experience. You will travel privately from Nairobi through the Great Rift Valley and Narok to the Maasai Mara, where an afternoon game drive and a full-day safari provide opportunities to observe lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, hyenas and birds. On Day 3, our journey continues from the Mara to Lake Naivasha through changing highland and Rift Valley scenery. Your final morning may include a boat safari, Crescent Island nature walk or guided birdwatching activity when confirmed in the package. Private transport, premium accommodation, carefully planned meal stops and personalised guiding make this package suitable for couples, friends and first-time Kenya safari travellers who prefer a drive-in, drive-out adventure.
