  • Duration4 days / 3 nights
  • DestinationsLake Nakuru, Masai Mara
  • Group sizeUp to 8 guests
  • Best timeJuly – October for the migration; year-round for rhinos and birds

A classic Kenyan combination: begin at Lake Nakuru National Park, a sanctuary for both black and white rhino, Rothschild's giraffe and spectacular birdlife, then continue to the Masai Mara for big cats and, in season, the Great Migration.

All safaris are private departures in a pop-up-roof safari vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide. Choose luxury, standard or mid-level lodges and camps — we'll match your comfort level and dates.

Trip highlights

  • Lake Nakuru: rhino, Rothschild's giraffe, buffalo and abundant birds
