Perfect for larger groups looking for a fantastic budget-friendly experience while staying as a cohesive unit in a single vehicle, this 4-day mid-range minivan safari tour takes you to one of the most wondrous Great Rift Valley lakes, Lake Naivasha. Take a scenic boat ride across this beautiful lake and witness the dazzling array of wildlife and birdlife found there. You will then drive to the main highlight of your tour, the Masai Mara National Reserve, arguably the best safari destination for game viewing, Big Five encountering, and the Great Migration spectating.
Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up in Nairobi, where your guide whisks you away to the serene shores of Lake Naivasha. Enjoy a striking drive through Kenya's picturesque heartlands and a panoramic stopover at a local viewpoint to admire Lake Naivasha in its full glory. Arrive at your lakeside lodge just in time for a delicious lunch. Relax, take in the tranquil surroundings, and explore your exciting camp amenities before heading out on your enchanting afternoon boat ride. Spot a couple of male hippos posturing for dominance, curious bushbucks and fish eagles taking peaks at the territorial dispute unfolding, and mischievous monkeys egging them on for their own amusement. Naivasha never fails to display thrilling environmental dynamics. As evening approaches, return to your lodge for a sumptuous dinner and enjoy a quiet evening under the stars. Drift off to the soothing sounds of the lake, ready for the next adventures to come.
Fuel up with a hearty breakfast before setting off for the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. The drive takes you past the vibrant town of Narok, a cultural hub and gateway to the Mara, before entering the reserve through the Sekenani Gate and enjoying a leisurely en-route game drive to your camp. Be welcomed into the Mara by graceful giraffes grazing tall acacia trees, adorable meerkats standing sentry as if giving you a military salute as you pass by, and maybe even a pride of lions lazing about in the shadows, waiting for the midday heat to die down, before setting off for a hunt. Arrive at your safari camp in time for a refreshing lunch. Settle into your comfortable accommodation and explore the camp'scamp's amenities before hitting Mara'sMara's rugged terrain again to encounter even more wild animals—keep your eyes peeled and don'tdon't miss some of the more elusive predators, such as a stealthy leopard camouflaged in the trees, or sneaking crocodiles barely sticking their eyes out of the water, awaiting unaware prey to approach the waters. Return to camp as the sun sets over the Mara, painting the sky with vibrant hues. Enjoy a delectable sundowner dinner and unwind in the warm ambience of the lounge or by the campfire, sharing stories of the day's discoveries.
Today, you have the option to embark on a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch or two shorter drives with a relaxing midday break at camp. Furthermore, you can also opt for a hot air balloon ride so that you may soar amongst majestic eagles, and/or a visit to a Maasai village for a fascinating glimpse into the traditions, lifestyle, and lively dances of the Maasai people. The Masai Mara is alive with wildlife—find massive elephants mud-bathing, playful baboons taunting inexperienced younger lions, a mother cheetah teaching her cubs how to sneak up on unexpecting gazelles effectively, and so much more. Moreover, depending on the season, witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the plains in search of greener grass, pursued by opportunistic predators who do not want to pass on this much-welcomed all-you-can-eat buffet. Return to camp in the evening for your final night in the Mara. Reflect on the day's adventures over a delicious dinner, followed by relaxation under the Mara's dazzling starlit sky with a luscious drink.
Savour a final breakfast in the heart of the Mara, soaking in the last views of its golden plains. Bid farewell to the reserve as you begin your journey back to Nairobi, passing through the Great Rift Valley'sValley's picturesque landscapes. Arrive in the city by early afternoon for lunch, followed by a drop-off at your hotel or the airport, concluding your 4-day safari adventure. Though the journey ends here, the memories of breathtaking wildlife encounters and serene landscapes will linger forever, and we hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences.
