This 5 day safari combines two of Kenya's most iconic wildlife destinations with an active adventure finale. Depart Nairobi for the Maasai Mara, Kenya's most celebrated reserve, with an afternoon game drive followed by a full day exploring its plains in search of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, and buffalo, and, in season, the spectacular Great Migration. From the Mara, travel through the Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park for an afternoon game drive around the alkaline lake, known for its flamingo lined shores and thriving rhino sanctuary. Continue to Lake Naivasha, where a boat ride offers close up views of hippos and waterbirds, followed by a guided nature walk among giraffes, zebras, and gazelles roaming freely along the shoreline. The safari concludes with a change of pace at Hell's Gate National Park, where a cycling excursion through its dramatic gorges and towering cliffs offers a unique, active way to experience Kenya's wildlife on foot, or on two wheels, before the drive back to Nairobi.

Depart the Maasai Mara and drive through the Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park.

Continue south to Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya's freshwater Rift Valley lakes. Enjoy a boat ride on the lake to view hippos, fish eagles, and other waterbirds up close, followed by a guided nature walk along the shoreline where giraffes, zebras, waterbuck, and gazelles roam freely in an unfenced setting.

In the morning, head to Hell's Gate National Park for a cycling excursion through its dramatic gorges and towering cliffs, one of the few parks in Kenya where visitors can explore on foot or by bike among wildlife such as zebra, giraffe, and buffalo.
