This Kenya discovery safari packs so much into 4 active days – endangered rhinos and rare giraffes, colorful birdlife, and the big cats of the Masai Mara National Reserve. You’ll start your tour at the Rift Valley lakes of Nakuru and Naivasha and nearby Crescent Island. By Jeep, boat, and guided walking tour, you’ll safari into a world of leopards, zebras, waterbucks, wildebeests, lions, crocodiles and so much more.

And the land… you’ll dive into deep acacia forests, and cross by waterfalls and shorelines painted with innumerable birds, vast rolling hills, and deep golden savannahs.

At Lake Naivasha, we’ll take a colorful boating safari past hippos while antelope graze nearby on the shore. Crescent Island offers special moments to discover giraffe, zebra, gazelle, impala, dik-dik, and even hippos.

Description

Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi - Lake Naivasha - Crescent Island - Lake Nakuru

Stop At: Lake Naivasha, Naivasha Kenya
7:00 am – Your Africa Kenya Safaris driver/guide will pick you up in a private 4 x 4 Safari Jeep for the easy and scenic road trip along the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Along our route, we’ll take in the dramatic rise of the escarpment walls.

We’ll make stops to rest and enjoy the natural expanse of the land.

Arriving at Lake Naivasha, we’ll take a fun sailing safari across this freshwater lake, gliding past hippos and catching sight of pelicans, cormorants, and maybe some antelope grazing on the shore.

Then we’ll hop over to nearby Crescent Island for a guided walking tour of this unique private reserve. This is the best way to get close to gently grazing zebra, buffalo, giraffe, impala, and gazelle.

Our third park of the day takes us to Lake Nakuru – a visual feast with the lake bordered by acacia forest, towering rocky escarpments, waterfalls, and wooded hills. The bird and wildlife are just as diverse – pelicans, kingfishers, storks, herons, eagles

Day 3: Full Day at Masai Mara Reserve

If you are here during the season of the Great Migration (June – October) you’ll witness an endless flow of herding wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, streaming into the park over the Mara River.

But at any time of the year, be ready to discover the widest variety of animal life in the region, especially the big cats. The park is also home to buffalo, elephants, rhino, giraffes, and countless more wildlife.

We’ll have a picnic lunch at the Mara River, scene of the animal crossing, and also home to hippo and waiting crocodiles.

If you’d like to create some other unique memories, we offer several optional activities like a cultural encounter with the local Maasai people. Visit their nearby village, meet the original inhabitants of these lands, and learn about their herding lifestyle.
