5 Days Maasai Mara Big Game and Lake Nakuru Rhino Luxury Safari

Our safari driver-guide will collect you from Nairobi and travel approximately 260–280 kilometres to the Maasai Mara over five to six hours. The route passes Great Rift Valley scenery, agricultural highlands, towns and Maasai pastoral landscapes. After arrival at your luxury lodge or camp, you will check in, enjoy lunch and begin an afternoon game drive. Possible attractions include elephants crossing the plains, giraffes feeding near acacia trees, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes and lions becoming active in the cooler evening conditions.

Your third day includes another seven-to-nine-hour drive covering approximately 60–100 kilometres through habitats not fully explored the previous day. The guide may visit riverine areas for hippos and crocodiles, open plains for wildebeest and zebras or woodland used by elephants and predators. During migration periods, seasonal herds may create additional wildlife activity, although exact movement cannot be guaranteed.
