Your 4-day Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara safari adventure begins at Lake Nakuru National Park, renowned for its pink flamingos and black and white rhinos. You'll spend the first two days exploring the park's diversity, with opportunities to spot wildlife such as baboons, rhinos zebras, and lions.
From Lake Nakuru, you'll make your way to the Maasai Mara, one of the world's most famous wildlife reserves. Spend the next two days on safari, venturing deep into the vast savannahs in search of the Big Five and other animals such as cheetahs, hyenas, and wildebeests. You'll have the chance to visit a Maasai village and learn about their traditional way of life and culture.
