Tour Overview

Short but sweet, this exclusive five-day road trip offers outstanding opportunities to spot abundant wildlife. Your adventure begins in Nairobi, from where you’ll travel to Lake Nakuru National Park. Watch hundreds of flamingos transform the lake into a sea of pink and keep an eye out for the rare and fascinating tree-climbing lions. From here, you’ll journey through the rolling hills of Kenya’s Rift Valley en route to the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve. Over two thrilling days, you’ll traverse the vast East African savannah in search of the iconic Big Five. Visit at the right time, and you may even witness the dramatic Great Wildebeest Migration as herds cross the Mara River. Goosebumps guaranteed!

DAY
🐾 Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is an incredible wildlife paradise located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The park’s major attraction, Nakuru Lake, attracts hundreds of birds to its beaches. The park was once noted for its large flamingo population, but rising water levels forced these birds to migrate elsewhere. Fortunately, they are gradually returning, and in any event, Lake Nakuru is a fantastic site to visit, with black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard, and over 400 bird species.
