Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha & Masai Mara – 6 Days Kenya Safari
What's Included for You
Day-by-Day Breakdown
Your safari begins with a pickup from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at around 7:30 AM. The drive north to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, in the foothills of Mount Kenya, takes about 3.5 to 4.5 hours through green highland farms and small towns, crossing the equator near Nanyuki.
You check in, have a freshly prepared hot lunch and rest before your first afternoon game drive. Ol Pejeta is home to the Big Five, lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo, and to the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, guarded around the clock. It is one of the most important conservation areas in Africa, and the rhino sightings here are some of the best in Kenya. Back by early evening for dinner.

After an early breakfast you check out and drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, about 3.5 to 4 hours, descending from the highlands into the Great Rift Valley with wide views over the valley floor.
You check in, have a hot lunch and set off on an afternoon game drive. Nakuru is a compact, fenced park around a soda lake, known for its thriving population of endangered black and white rhinos, as well as Rothschild giraffes, lions, leopards, buffaloes and rich birdlife. The lake and its acacia woodland make for good photographs, especially from Baboon Cliff. Back to your lodge by early evening for dinner.

Overnight: Lake Nakuru
After breakfast you drive about 1.5 hours through the Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake lined with papyrus and yellow fever trees. On arrival you take a relaxing boat ride across the lake, passing hippos in the shallows, fish eagles, pelicans and kingfishers.
The boat takes you to Crescent Island for a guided nature walk. With no big predators on the island, you walk on foot among zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, waterbucks and antelopes, a completely different feeling from watching them from a vehicle. Afterwards you go to your lodge and spend the rest of the day at leisure, with dinner in the evening.

Overnight: Lake Naivasha
After breakfast you check out and drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve, about five hours through farmland and Maasai country. The last hour is a rough, corrugated road, and then the grassland opens out to the horizon.
You check in at your tented camp, enjoy a freshly prepared hot lunch and relax before your first afternoon game drive across the plains. After two rhino parks, this is big cat country: lions, cheetahs and, with luck, leopards, along with hyenas, giraffes, zebras and the rest of the Big Five. Back at camp by early evening for dinner.

Tips & what to carry
• Keep a scarf or buff handy for dust on the last stretch.
• Sit towards the front of the vehicle if you have back trouble.

Overnight: Masai Mara
Today is flexible, planned with your guide around what you most want to see. The relaxed option is breakfast at camp, then a full-day game drive from around 9:00 AM with a packed lunch, exploring different regions of the reserve and returning in the evening.
The early option starts at 6:00 AM, when wildlife is most active and predators are often on the move. You return to camp for breakfast and a rest, then head out again in the afternoon with a packed lunch. Either way your guide will be filling in your Big Five list and looking for cheetahs on the plains and hippos and crocodiles in the Mara river. Back by early evening for dinner and your last night in the bush.
