About this activity

This 5-day safari loop from Nairobi takes you through Kenya's most iconic wildlife destinations: the world-renowned Maasai Mara, home to the Big Five and vast migration herds, plus the scenic Lake Naivasha region with its unique ecosystem. You'll combine game drives, walking safaris, and cultural encounters for a comprehensive East African experience.

Visit Kenya on a 5 Day Safari that covers Nairobi, Masai Mara, and Naivasha where you get to see the Big 5, visit the Elephant Orphanage, Bird watching in Lake Naivasha, and a Walking Safari at Out of Africa – Crescent Island.

  • ✓Birdwatching and water-based activities at Lake Naivasha

Insider tips

  • ★Early morning game drives (5–6 am starts) offer the best wildlife viewing and cooler temperatures; most animals are active at dawn and dusk.
  • ★Lake Naivasha's hippos and birdlife are particularly active in the early morning, and the walking safari on Crescent Island works best before midday heat.
  • ★The Elephant Orphanage has scheduled keeper talks; arrive early to avoid crowds and get better photo opportunities.
  • ★Bring binoculars and a camera with a good zoom lens—wildlife can be distant, and you'll want to capture both big game and birdlife.

Good to know

  • •Pack layers: early mornings and evenings are cool; midday is hot. Include sun protection (SPF 50+), a wide-brimmed hat, and closed-toe hiking shoes for walking safaris.
  • •A valid passport with at least 6 months validity is required; visas are available on arrival or pre-arranged online for most nationalities.
  • •All activities use open-sided safari vehicles for optimal viewing; transfers to/from Nairobi are typically included. Confirm exact pickup times with your operator.
  • •The terrain is uneven on Crescent Island and at some game drive stops; moderate fitness is recommended. Mobility-limited travellers should confirm accessibility directly with the tour operator.
