6 DAYS SAFARI

Naivasha, Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari

6 DAYS / 5 NIGHTS NAIVASHA, MASAI MARA & LAKE NAKURU SAFARI

SAFARI ITINERARY

Enjoy the very best of Kenya's Rift Valley on this comprehensive 6-day safari. Start with a visit to the dramatic Hell's Gate or the enchanting Crescent Island at Lake Naivasha, then spend three thrilling days in the world-famous Masai Mara before exploring the flamingo paradise of Lake Nakuru National Park.

Day 1: Nairobi – Lake Naivasha

Depart Nairobi and drive to Lake Naivasha, where you will visit either Hell's Gate National Park or Crescent Island. Hell's Gate National Park lies south of Lake Naivasha and is named after a narrow break in the cliffs, once a tributary of a prehistoric lake. Established in 1984, it is known for its wide variety of wildlife, dramatic scenery including Fischer's Tower and Central Tower columns, Hell's Gate Gorge, and five geothermal power stations at Olkaria. The park also features a Maasai Cultural Center.

Alternatively, visit Crescent Island — a private island on Lake Naivasha that rose to fame after the 1985 movie "Out of Africa." Established in 1988, it is home to zebras, giraffes, waterbucks, impalas, elands, and many bird species. Since there are no predators on the island, guests can walk freely among the animals. Activities include guided nature walks, picnicking, biking, horseback riding, and bird watching. In the evening, drive back to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals at their most active.
