This group departure adds Lake Nakuru to a Masai Mara safari, giving you two very different parks for a modest extra day. You share a 4x4 and driver-guide with other travellers, and stay at budget camps and lodges.
The Mara gives you open plains and predators; Nakuru's fenced sanctuary is one of the best places in Kenya to see both black and white rhino.
