Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara

Start your day with an early breakfast, then head out for a morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its thriving black and white rhino population and diverse wildlife. After the drive, return to your lodge to freshen up and enjoy lunch. Later, begin your journey to the legendary Masai Mara. From July to October, the Mara hosts the Great Migration—millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing in search of greener pastures, pursued by predators. Upon arrival, check in and unwind. At 5:00 PM, join Maasai Morans for a guided walking safari followed by a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai village. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
