This 6-night Kenya safari focuses on the legendary Masai Mara with its Big Five game drives, plus Lake Nakuru for its pink wading birds and a rhino sanctuary. Over six nights you travel from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru and on to the Mara for three nights of 4x4 game drives in search of lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo and rhino, with a visit to a Masai village for a taste of local culture. You stay in 4-star tented camps (Sopa, Sarova or Mara Serena class) with full board and a driver-guide throughout. Honest note: while wildlife is abundant, specific sightings are never guaranteed; the famous wildebeest migration is a seasonal July-October highlight and not present year-round. Safari days start early and involve long drives on rough tracks, richly rewarding for any wildlife lover. starting at INR 2,40,000 per person. Covers Nairobi 1N, Lake Nakuru 1N, Masai Mara 3N, Nairobi 1N.
Fly into Nairobi, clear immigration and transfer to your hotel. Settle in after the journey and take an easy evening to rest. Your driver-guide briefs you on the safari ahead. Prepare neutral-coloured clothing, sun protection and binoculars for the game drives to come.
Drive from Nairobi into the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park, with a viewpoint stop over the valley en route. Enjoy a game drive around the lake, famous for its flamingos and as a rhino sanctuary, also spotting buffalo, giraffe and waterbuck. Overnight near the park.
Drive on to the Masai Mara, Kenya's premier reserve, watching the landscape open into vast savannah. Check in to your tented camp and, after lunch, head out on your first afternoon game drive in search of lions, elephants and the plains game that throng the Mara. Overnight at camp.
A full day of game drives across the Mara's grasslands, with the best chances of the Big Five and, in season (July-October), the wildebeest migration and river crossings. Your guide tracks predators and herds across the reserve. Return to camp for meals, with sightings never guaranteed but often plentiful.
More game driving in the Mara, exploring different areas of the reserve for big cats, elephants and birdlife. Visit a traditional Masai village to learn about the community's customs, dress and way of life (a small fee may apply). Enjoy a final evening at the camp amid the sounds of the bush.
Enjoy a final morning game drive or a relaxed breakfast, then drive back from the Mara to Nairobi (a long journey on rough roads). Check in to your hotel and rest, with time for any last souvenir shopping. Reflect on the safari over a final dinner in the city.
After breakfast, transfer to Nairobi airport for your return flight home, completing the Masai Mara safari. Allow time for transfers and formalities after the wildlife adventure.
