5-day Maasai Mara – Lake Nakuru – Lake Naivasha Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi – Maasai Mara National Reserve
Our adventure begins with us picking you up from Nairobi and driving to Maasai Mara. It is a 5-hour drive that’ll see us pass through beautiful diverse landscapes. Nearing Mai Mahiu, we go along the Great Rift Valley escarpment which feels like driving on the side of a mountain.
We arrive in Maasai Mara, get clearance at the gate, and head to our camp in time for Lunch. After settling in and resting for a while, we start our Maasai Mara safari with an afternoon game drive.
Later, we return to camp/lodge, have dinner, and stay overnight.
Day 2: Masai Mara Exploration
This is a fun-filled day that’ll see us explore the best of what Masai Mara has to offer.
After an early breakfast, we head out for a safari. Early game drives are the best since chances of seeing the Big 5 skyrocket. Lions usually hunt at dawn so you’re likely to see a wildlife predator-prey dynamic happening IRL. Apart from the Big 5: Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Buffaloes, and Rhinos, you’ll view other magnificent animals like Giraffes, Gazelles, monkeys, Cheetahs, and the fearless Honey Badgers among others.
Continuing with our Masai Mara safari, you have the option to have an air balloon tour and view the Maasai Mara in a whole new way. We can also visit the Maasai people and experience their way of life alongside such majestic creatures. This trip to the Maasai villages can be arranged at an extra cost. Later, we return to camp for Lunch and refreshments.
We wind up the day with a late afternoon game drive and return to camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Maasai Mara – Lake Nakuru National Park
After breakfast, we head out on an early morning game drive to end our Maasai Mara safari. We check out of the gate and head towards Lake Nakuru. The drive isn’t too long but it still allows you to see more of Kenya’s landscapes, including Mt. Longonot.
We arrive at Lake Nakuru Park, get clearance at the gate, have lunch, and finish settling in at the lodge. Our Lake Nakuru safari begins with an afternoon game drive towards the lake. Along the way, we may see the endangered Rothschild’s giraffes, vervet monkeys, white rhinos, and waterbucks among other animals. Upon reaching the lake, we’ll view the park’s main attraction; a multitude of pink and white flamingos foraging for food and flying around.
The rest of the day is spent exploring and hiking parts of the park. We head back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

The day starts with an early morning to Lake Naivasha for breakfast. The drive is a short one that takes about two hours. We have breakfast, settle in, and head to Hell’s Gate National Park in Kenya.

There are tons of options to choose from in Hell’s Gate Kenya; you can go rock climbing in Fischer’s tower, game viewing, hiking, or cycling. Hell’s Gate is the only park in Kenya where you can view wildlife while cycling since there are not a lot of dangerous animasl.
