Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Hell's Gate Budget Safari

Start & end in Nairobi 5 days Up to 50

About this trip

Five days across three of Kenya's classic safari spots, starting in the Masai Mara with its wide savannahs and Big Five game viewing before moving on to Lake Nakuru and finishing with a more active stop at Hell's Gate.

It's a straightforward, fully guided setup that suits families and first-time safari-goers, with the mix of park styles giving you both classic game drives and a chance to get out of the vehicle on foot or by bike.

What you'll do

  • Game drives in the Masai Mara looking for the Big Five
  • Spot flamingos, rhinos and other birdlife at Lake Nakuru National Park
  • Walk or cycle among wildlife at Hell's Gate National Park
  • See the landscapes around Lake Naivasha that inspired Disney's The Lion King
Good to know
  • An easy-paced trip with guided game drives doing most of the work
  • Suits families and groups new to safari
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want genuine wildlife encounters and scenic variety on a tight budget. Think twice if you need luxury comfort or prefer solo travel pace.

  • Guides consistently spot and explain wildlife brilliantly—lions, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos all reliably seen.
  • Three distinct landscapes (Mara, Nakuru flamingos, Hell's Gate cycling) pack real variety into five days.
  • Accommodation is simple but clean; upgrade option available if budget allows post-exploration comfort matters.
  • Group tour means shared pace and schedule—not ideal if you prefer flexibility or solo rhythm.
