The route, day by day
On the first day, a safari in Aberdare National Park. On the second day, about four hours of driving to Lake Nakuru, then a visit. On the third day, the road to the Masai Mara, with a view of Mount Longonot and an afternoon safari.
The fourth day in the Mara
The morning is free: it is used for the optional balloon flight. Otherwise, a game drive follows the Mara River, with a picnic lunch. The fifth day is devoted to the return to Nairobi.
Why choose this option
It adds Aberdare to the usual Nakuru and Masai Mara pairing. It takes more driving time than the short options, but it includes entry tickets, which avoids fees to pay on the spot.
