From the flamingo-filled shores of Lake Nakuru National Park to the sweeping savannahs of the Masai Mara safari, this Kenya safari tour package is perfect for travelers seeking a short yet deeply immersive encounter with Africa’s wilderness.
Whether it’s your first safari or a family getaway, expect luxury lodges, personalized service, and the thrill of encountering the Big Five safari Kenya is world-famous for.
Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru – Rift Valley Adventure
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome from your Wildbud Safaris driver-guide at your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
After a short safari briefing, depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, driving through the dramatic escarpments of the Great Rift Valley.
Arrive in Nakuru by midday, check into your lodge, and enjoy lunch overlooking the lake’s tranquil waters. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive.
Lake Nakuru National Park is a haven for rhinos, buffalo, zebras, and Rothschild’s giraffes. The park’s alkaline lake often attracts flocks of flamingos, painting the shores pink in a breathtaking natural display.
If you’re lucky, you might spot both black and white rhinos — making Nakuru one of the best places in Kenya to see these endangered giants.
Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay surrounded by Nakuru’s peaceful wilderness.
Accommodation: Sarova Lion Hill Lodge / Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge
Meal Plan: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2: Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara – The Heart of Safari
After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning drive as you exit Nakuru and journey south toward the Masai Mara National Reserve — Kenya’s most iconic safari destination.
Arrive in the Mara in time for lunch at your luxurious camp, followed by an afternoon game drive.
The Masai Mara safari offers spectacular wildlife sightings year-round, including lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and hippos. During the migration season (July–October), over a million wildebeests and zebras thunder across the plains — a natural wonder unmatched anywhere on Earth.
Enjoy a sundowner as the sun paints the sky gold and red before returning to camp for a cozy dinner under the stars.
Accommodation: Ashnil Mara Camp / Mara Serena Safari Lodge
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3: Full Day in Masai Mara – Wildlife Spectacle
Wake up early for a full day exploring the magnificent Masai Mara National Reserve.
Your morning and afternoon game drives take you deeper into the reserve in search of the Big Five safari Kenya is known for — lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos.
For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you may choose an optional hot-air balloon safari followed by a champagne breakfast overlooking the Mara plains.
Between drives, visit a Maasai village for an authentic cultural exchange, learning about the tribe’s traditions, dances, and way of life — a highlight of your Kenya safari itinerary.
As dusk falls, return to your camp for a delightful dinner and storytelling by the campfire.
