4 Days Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara

Overview

A 4-day trip to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara departing from Nairobi sounds like an incredible adventure! Here’s a suggested itinerary:

Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru

  • Morning: Depart from Nairobi early in the morning (around 7:00 AM). The drive to Lake Nakuru takes about 3 to 4 hours.
  • Midday: Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park. You can enjoy a game drive and also take in the stunning views of the lake, which is known for its flocks of flamingos, rhinos, and diverse bird species.
  • Afternoon: Have lunch at a lodge or campsite in or near the park.
  • Evening: Optional afternoon game drive. You’ll have the chance to see lions, giraffes, and buffaloes, among others.
  • Overnight: Stay at a lodge or camp in or near Lake Nakuru.

Day 2: Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara

  • Morning: After breakfast, depart for Masai Mara. This drive is about 5 to 6 hours.
  • Afternoon: Arrive in Masai Mara National Reserve and check into your accommodation (lodge or camp).

  • Overnight: Stay at a lodge or camp in Masai Mara.

Day 3: Full Day in Masai Mara

  • Morning & Afternoon: Embark on a full-day game drive in Masai Mara. You’ll get to explore various parts of the reserve, including the Mara River, famous for the wildebeest migration (depending on the time of year). It’s a great opportunity to observe more wildlife.
  • Lunch: Either have a packed lunch in the park or return to your accommodation for a meal.
