Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari, 5 Nights

⏱6 Days 📍Mount Kilimanjaro 👤1-7 people 💰From $1,850 USD*

Overview

At six days, this version gives the same strong Kenya pairing as our shorter one more room to breathe: the Maasai Mara's predator-rich plains plus Lake Nakuru's rhino sightings and flamingo flocks. The extra time means repeat game drives, not a single pass through each park.

Compared with our 4-day version, the additional nights slow the pace down. You can explore different sections of the Mara across several game drives and avoid covering the reserve in one rushed visit.

Choose this length if you want a proper, unhurried Kenya safari but do not want to stretch into a full cross-border Kenya-Tanzania combination.
