Masai Mara Game Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park are the most famous and the most frequently visited in Kenya due to their uniqueness. The 4 Days Budget Safari is an adventure tour that starts with the Masai Mara - Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight.
The sensation of the great Wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled which makes it the 8th wonder of the World. Centuries of close association with wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Maasai people live in peace with one another here.
Lake Nakuru National Park is dominated by a gentle undulating terrain with open bush and woodlands, typical of the dry Rift Valley vegetation. Twenty seven percent (27%) of the park is composed of the Lake Nakuru waters. Lake Nakuru was declared a Rhino sanctuary in 1983. The rhino stocking program which ensued received White Rhinos from South Africa. Currently, the sanctuary has approximately 45 Black and 31 White Rhinoceros with multi-million flamingo birds.
This spectacular safari package includes full day game drives in the world-famous Maasai Mara National Park and Lake Nakuru National Park.

G made what could have been a logistical nightmare to face alone, an easy and well-run trip through southern and east Africa. The interactions we were able to have with local communities were unforgettable and knowing exactly how our money is helping these regions goes a long way to justifying paying for a tour. All the CEOs were well organised and friendly and I feel like I learned a lot as well as seeing so many beautiful sights. There are improvements to be made in terms of the pricing of optional activities and the intense itinerary but overall, I had a life-changing trip.
