The journey
Lake Nakuru’s rhinos and flamingos, then three nights in the Mara. The vehicle is private. The guide knows when to turn around because someone is done, not because the itinerary says so.
Prices are per person sharing, in low-to-shoulder lodge categories, before international flights. Park fees move; we reconfirm them on the invoice, not in a footnote after you have paid.
In the field
— Child-friendly camps
— Rhino and flamingo morning
— Private vehicle
— Flexible drive lengths
Countries of the trip, in practice: Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara. Read the place notes if you want the road times and the sort of camp we book.
