DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES
Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park
In the morning at 08:00Hrs, you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Nairobi or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and embark on a scenic drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. As you enter the park, keep your eyes peeled for the vibrant pink hues of thousands of flamingos that inhabit the lake. Lake Nakuru is renowned for its birdlife, and you’ll have the opportunity to spot numerous species, including pelicans, marabou storks, and African fish eagles. Beyond the avian wonders, the park is home to rhinos, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife. Enjoy a game drive in the afternoon before retiring to your lodge for the night.
Day 2: Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara
After a delicious breakfast, bid farewell to Lake Nakuru and proceed to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The drive itself is an adventure, as you traverse the scenic Rift Valley and witness the changing landscapes. Upon arriving at Masai Mara, you’ll be greeted by vast plains dotted with acacia trees, the quintessential African savannah setting. After settling into your accommodation, head out for an afternoon game drive, where you’ll have the opportunity to spot the “Big Five” (lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos) and other wildlife in their natural habitat. As the sun sets, marvel at the golden hues that blanket the savannah before returning to your camp for a relaxing evening.
Day 3: Full Day in Masai Mara
Dedicate a full day to exploring the wonders of Masai Mara. Rise early for a thrilling sunrise game drive, when predators are often most active. Witness the vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes that migrate through the reserve during the Great Migration (typically occurring between July and October). Keep your cameras ready to capture the awe-inspiring moments as predators lie in wait or as the herds cross the Mara River. Your experienced guide will share their knowledge about the wildlife and their behaviors, making your experience even more enriching. Break for a picnic lunch in the park, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African wilderness. In the afternoon, continue your exploration of Masai Mara, seeking out more wildlife and immersing yourself in the untamed beauty of the reserve.
Day 4: Masai Mara to Nairobi
On your final day, savor a leisurely morning breakfast, bid farewell to this remarkable wilderness and start your journey back to Nairobi. Reflect on the incredible memories you’ve made during your safari, and perhaps stop at a local curio shop to pick up souvenirs before reaching Nairobi city. Arrive in the afternoon and transfer to the airport or your hotel, marking the end of your 4-day Lake Nakuru-Masai Mara Safari package.
