Four days across two of Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife parks, departing from Nairobi in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser. You spend a full day in the Masai Mara on Day 2, then transfer to Lake Nakuru National Park on Day 3 for an afternoon of completely different wildlife. The two parks complement each other well: the Mara gives you open plains and big predators, Nakuru gives you flamingos on the lake shore, white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffes and a more compact park you can cover properly in half a day plus a morning.
For $400 more than the three-day mid-range package, you get an extra night, a second park and a noticeably more complete Kenya safari experience. All meals, park fees and transport from Nairobi are included throughout.
Ideal for first-time and returning visitors who want more than just the Mara and have the time to do it properly.
