Embark on an unforgettable 5-day journey through Kenya’s most celebrated safari destinations — the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, the picturesque Lake Nakuru National Park, and the tranquil Lake Naivasha.
From thrilling game drives across the endless plains of the Mara to the pink shimmer of flamingos at Nakuru and a serene boat ride on Naivasha’s freshwater lake, this adventure captures the very essence of Kenya’s natural beauty.
With Nesh Tours & Safaris, every detail is perfectly tailored — blending comfort, discovery, and authentic African hospitality.
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or airport by your Nesh Tours & Safaris driver-guide.

Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and a short rest. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive across the vast plains of the Mara — a land teeming with wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants, lions, cheetahs, zebras, and giraffes, and perhaps catch the golden sunset casting its glow over the savannah.
