3. Maasai Mara
  1. Day 1
    Nairobi → Lake Nakuru

    Morning pickup, a Rift Valley viewpoint stop, then straight into Lake Nakuru National Park for an afternoon of rhino, flamingos and Rothschild's giraffe. Check into a lodge overlooking the lake.

  2. Day 2
    Lake Nakuru → Lake Naivasha

    A slow morning drive out of Nakuru, then a short transfer to Lake Naivasha. Afternoon boat cruise past pods of hippo, followed by a walking safari on Crescent Island, one of very few places in Kenya you can walk among giraffe unfenced.

    A long final morning drive to squeeze every last Big Five moment out of the reserve, then road transfer back to Nairobi by early evening.
