4-Day Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari
Kenya’s classic first safari. You spend two nights in the Masai Mara, home to the Big Five and one of Africa’s highest concentrations of big cats, then continue to Lake Nakuru National Park, a fenced rhino sanctuary where black and white rhinos are regularly seen alongside buffalo, Rothschild’s giraffes and, depending on water levels, flamingos on the lake shore.
Price: from US$1,450 per person (2 people sharing, January–June). July–December rates are higher because the Masai Mara entry fee doubles; contact us for a quote for your dates.
