4 Days, 3 Nights Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Group Joining Safari 2025
4-Day Masai Mara Safari Tours
The Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya never disappoints. Whether you’re going on your first African safari or you’re a repeat visitor, you can’t go wrong; the reserve is hard to beat when it comes to wildlife viewing. The wide-open plains are home to big herds of grazers, and when you look closer, you’ll find lots of predators too. Big cats steal the show, but hyenas and jackals are never far off either. Time your trip right and you might be able to witness the wildebeest migration, one of the biggest wildlife spectacles in Africa. Alternatively, visit in the Emerald season (also known as the Wet season) when the scenery is breathtaking and the crowds minimal.

Day 2: Full Day Game Drive in Maasai Mara Reserve
Early breakfast at 6.30am and Depart for a full day game viewing. This is the most important day since we are hoping to see the big five, especially the big cats which are extremely illusive. Also we will visit the famous Mara river where the great migration happens, have a guided tour by the rangers to see the Nile crocodiles and hippo families and just to top it off have a picnic lunch under a tree in the park overlooking the vast landscapes.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna – lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and vultures.
