5 Days Luxury Family Wildlife Safari to Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru

Our friendly driver-guide will collect your family from Nairobi, assist with luggage and begin the approximately 260–280-kilometre journey to the Maasai Mara. The transfer normally takes five to six hours, with suitable washroom, meal and stretching stops included for younger and older family members. The route passes Great Rift Valley views, highland farms, towns and Maasai countryside. After arrival, you will check in, enjoy lunch and rest before an afternoon drive featuring possible elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and lions. The guide will introduce wildlife through clear explanations and simple identification activities suitable for children.

Your family will begin the day with a three-to-four-hour Lake Nakuru game drive covering approximately 25–45 kilometres. Children may identify rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, baboons and different bird species while learning how the lake environment differs from the Maasai Mara grasslands. After the drive, you will travel approximately 155–165 kilometres to Nairobi over two and a half to three and a half hours, with a meal and comfort stop before final drop-off.
