4 Days Rhinos and Big Cats Kenya Safari

Overview

This four day group joining safari pairs Kenya’s best big cat country with its best rhino country. Two nights in the Masai Mara give you a full day of game viewing across the open savannah, with lion, cheetah and leopard the headline sightings and enormous herds of plains game filling the grassland in between.You then cross to Lake Nakuru National Park, a fenced sanctuary established to protect endangered species and now one of the most reliable places in East Africa to see both black and white rhino, alongside Rothschild’s giraffe, waterbuck and the birdlife the lake is famous for. Park entrance fees, full board accommodation, all meals on safari and mineral water are included, and you share the vehicle and guide with other travellers to keep the cost down.
