Introduction to a 5-day Nakuru, Naivasha, and Masai Mara lodge joining safari.
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime African safari adventure through Kenya's most spectacular national parks and reserves. This 5-day lodge joining safari takes you to Nakuru, Naivasha, and the world-famous Masai Mara, allowing you to experience diverse ecosystems teeming with abundant wildlife.
Day 1: Arrival in Vibrant Nairobi
Your African safari experience begins upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital city. Our representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in the city. Spend the rest of the day at leisure, resting up before your safari.
Venture out into Nairobi city to sample tasty Nyama Choma (grilled meat) at an authentic barbeque joint, browse the curio shops for souvenirs, or visit the National Museum to learn about Kenya's culture and heritage. Retire for a comfortable overnight stay and prep for an early start the next day.
Day 2: Game Drives in Magnificent Masai Mara.
After an early breakfast, depart from Nairobi by safari minivan heading southwest through the spectacular Great Rift Valley towards Masai Mara National Reserve. Enjoy scenic views of the vast valley which stretches over 3,700 miles from the Middle East through Kenya. Arriving at your lodge, settle in and have a hearty lunch before embarking on an exciting afternoon game drive in the reserve until sunset. Led by experienced guides, keep an eye out for the "Big Five" - lions, African elephants, Cape buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos.
You may also spot other incredible wildlife like cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, and over 450 species of birds. Back at the lodge, reminisce about the day's sightings over a delicious 3-course dinner by campfire. Retire in your comfy tent or cottage for the night, and listen to the mesmerizing sounds of the African bush.
Day 3: Full Day in Phenomenal Masai Mara.
Spend a full day immersed in the raw, untamed wilderness of Masai Mara, Africa's most famous game reserve. Embark on early morning and late afternoon game drives led by Maasai guides who intimately know the land. You may spot a pride of lions lounging under acacia trees or feasting on a fresh kill as vultures circle above. Marvel at majestic African elephants interacting as families, touching trunks affectionately. Witness immense herds of wildebeests and zebras making their annual migration across the crocodile-infested Mara River, the circle of life on full display.
Enjoy a scrumptious bush picnic between game drives under the shade of yellow-barked acacia trees. In the evening, learn about Maasai culture while visiting a boma (homestead), gaining insight into ancient traditions. Retire for the night feeling one with nature, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the African wilderness.
Day 4: Birdwatching at Lake Nakuru National Park.
After breakfast, depart Masai Mara driving 200km northwest to Lake Nakuru National Park, renowned for its prolific birdlife and lush landscapes. Arriving at the lodge, have lunch feasting on a sumptuous barbecue beside the lake. Then embark on an afternoon game drive along the shores of the picturesque lake rimmed with distinctive euphorbia trees. Spot up to 1 million flamingos whose bright pink feathers shimmer elegantly in the water as they filter feed.
Also watch for regal pelicans, storks, herons, cormorants, and over 450 other bird species filling the skies. You may also see endangered white rhinos grazing on grass, Rothschild's giraffes munching on acacia leaves, shy boho reedbucks creeping in reeds, prowling lions, elusive leopards, and cunning hyenas. Marvel at the incredible ecological diversity of this UNESCO World Heritage site before retiring to your lodge to relax by the fireplace and enjoy dinner under the stars. Cap off with an overnight stay serenaded by nature's soothing night sounds.
Day 5: Scenic Lake Naivasha - Return to Nairobi.
On your final day, depart Lake Nakuru after breakfast driving south to Lake Naivasha. Take a boat ride on the serene freshwater lake dotted with papyrus plants, feeling at peace surrounded by beauty. Hopefully, spot massive hippos cooling off in the water and majestic fish eagles swooping down to catch fish for their young. If time allows, visit Crescent Island Game Sanctuary to see zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and elands roaming freely among the yellow fever trees.
Later, enjoy a picnic lunch on the lakeshore, enjoying the panoramic views one last time. Do some last-minute curio shopping at Maasai Market for hand-carved figurines and vibrant textiles. Relish a farewell dinner at a famous Carnivore restaurant, savoring delicious meats served on Masai spears. You'll be transferred to the airport for departure or to your Nairobi hotel, reminiscing about your phenomenal safari memories.
