4-Day Emayian Mara Camp & Lake Nakuru Luxury Safari
Overview
Tour Plan
Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up from a designated location within Nairobi’s Central Business District. After a short safari briefing, you’ll depart by road toward the Maasai Mara, passing through the dramatic Great Rift Valley escarpment. A stop at the viewpoint offers sweeping panoramic views and photo opportunities before continuing the scenic drive to the reserve.
Arriving in time for lunch, you’ll check in and relax before heading out for an evening game drive across the expansive savannah. The Maasai Mara is renowned for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, and numerous other species. As the sun sets over the plains, return to camp for dinner and overnight stay.
Accommodation: Emayian Luxury Camp
After an early breakfast, set out with picnic lunch boxes for a full-day exploration of the Maasai Mara. Traverse the rolling grasslands and riverine forests in search of predators, large herbivores, and abundant birdlife. Your guide will take you to key wildlife areas, including the Mara River, where hippos and crocodiles are often seen along the banks.
Enjoy a scenic picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve before continuing with afternoon game viewing. Late in the day, return to camp to unwind, followed by dinner and overnight stay surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Accommodation: Emayian Luxury Camp
After breakfast, depart the Mara and journey toward Lake Nakuru National Park on a picturesque drive through the Rift Valley. Known for its striking scenery and birdlife, Lake Nakuru’s alkaline waters often attract large flocks of flamingos that create a vibrant pink shoreline.
Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge before heading out for an evening game drive. Lake Nakuru is home to Kenya’s first rhino sanctuary, protecting endangered black and white rhinos, along with Rothschild’s giraffes, lions, leopards, and buffalo. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Accommodation: Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast at the lodge before beginning your return journey to Nairobi. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your preferred location, marking the end of your four-day luxury safari.
