6 Days 5 Nights Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha & Masai Mara Private Safari

6 Day Ol Pejeta Naivasha Masai Mara Safari Overview

Experience three distinctive Kenya safari destinations on this 6-day Ol Pejeta Naivasha Masai Mara safari from Nairobi. Start at Ol Pejeta Conservancy for rhinos, conservation experiences, and the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, then travel to Lake Naivasha for a boat safari and Crescent Island nature walk. The journey then finishes with three nights in the Masai Mara.

The itinerary gives each destination a clear purpose without trying to fit too many parks into six days. Ol Pejeta provides the conservation experience, Naivasha changes the pace with water and on-foot activities, and the Masai Mara gets the most time, with an afternoon game drive followed by two full wildlife days.

Throughout the safari, your party travels in a private customized 4×4 Land Cruiser and stays in selected mid-range accommodation. Standard park and conservancy fees, meals listed in the itinerary and the main Naivasha activities are included.

Safari Route

Nairobi → Ol Pejeta Conservancy → Lake Naivasha → Masai Mara → Nairobi

The route moves from Kenya’s central highlands into the Great Rift Valley before finishing in the Masai Mara. Driving times remain approximate because traffic, weather and road conditions can affect each transfer.

Why Choose This 6 Day Safari?

This itinerary offers more variety than a safari focused entirely on conventional game drives. At Ol Pejeta, wildlife viewing is combined with conservation experiences and rhino protection. Lake Naivasha then provides a different setting where you explore by boat and on foot.

The safari finishes with three nights in the Masai Mara rather than reducing the reserve to a single full day. This gives you an afternoon game drive and two full safari days, allowing your guide to explore different parts of the reserve based on wildlife activity.

Private Land Cruiser transport also means your party does not need to follow the timetable of unrelated travelers.

Wildlife Experience

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is particularly important for rhino conservation and also supports elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, predators and other wildlife. The standard itinerary includes the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, while specialist experiences such as a northern white rhino visit or night game drive can be added separately.

Lake Naivasha introduces hippos, waterbirds and Rift Valley scenery before the journey continues to the Masai Mara. In the Mara, you have opportunities to look for lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas and other plains wildlife.

Seasonal wildebeest migration activity can occur during parts of the year, but exact herd locations and river crossings remain unpredictable.

Accommodation

Ol Pejeta – Sweetwaters Serena Camp or Similar

Spend your first night at Sweetwaters Serena Camp or a comparable mid-range property in or near Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The preferred accommodation provides en-suite safari tents, meals and convenient access to the conservancy.

Lake Naivasha – Lake Naivasha Crescent Camp or Similar

Spend one night in the Lake Naivasha area after your boat safari and Crescent Island experience. The property provides comfortable en-suite accommodation and easy access to the lake.

Masai Mara – Mara Leisure Camp or Similar

Spend three nights at Mara Leisure Camp or a comparable mid-range tented property. Three nights give you enough time for an arrival-afternoon safari and two complete wildlife days.

All accommodation remains subject to availability. If a preferred property is unavailable, Tunza Tours will propose a comparable mid-range alternative and confirm any price difference before booking.

Transportation

The standard package includes a private customized 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for wildlife viewing and photography.

The vehicle remains exclusively with your party throughout the six days. This gives you more flexibility with comfort stops and viewing time than a shared safari, although park rules, road conditions, wildlife movements and safety considerations still determine the final daily routes.

Soft-sided luggage is recommended because safari vehicles have limited storage space.

6 Day Ol Pejeta Naivasha Masai Mara Safari Price

From USD 1,695 Per Person Sharing

The lowest advertised rate applies when 6-7 guests share one private Land Cruiser on selected low-season departures.

For smaller private groups, the per-person price increases because the fixed vehicle, fuel and driver-guide costs are divided among fewer travelers.

Non-Resident Private Safari Rates

Christmas, New Year and other festive periods are quoted separately.

Rates are per person sharing accommodation and apply to the standard mid-range package described on this page.

Kenyan Citizen and Resident Rates

Kenyan citizen rates start from approximately KES 129,500 per person sharing for 6–7 travelers on selected low-season departures.

Eligible Kenya and EAC residents receive dedicated quotations, as park, conservancy, and accommodation rates vary by traveler category. Smaller private groups will also have a higher per-person price because fewer travelers share the vehicle costs.

Tunza Tours does not simply convert the international USD rate into Kenyan shillings.

What Your Quotation Will Confirm

Before payment, Tunza Tours will confirm your total safari price, private Land Cruiser, accommodation, room arrangement, applicable park and conservancy fees, Naivasha activities, meal plan and any optional experiences.

Optional Activities

Ol Pejeta Northern White Rhino Experience

You can add a specialist northern white rhino experience at Ol Pejeta. This is separate from the normal conservancy entry and should be requested before booking.

Ol Pejeta Night Game Drive

Ol Pejeta offers authorized night game drives, giving you a chance to spot nocturnal wildlife. This activity costs extra and must be arranged through the conservancy.

Hell’s Gate National Park

Guests who prefer cycling, walking or volcanic scenery can request Hell’s Gate as an alternative or additional Naivasha activity. The itinerary will be adjusted so the day does not become unnecessarily rushed.

Masai Mara Hot-Air Balloon Safari

Add an early-morning balloon safari over the Masai Mara at additional cost. Flights depend on weather conditions and availability.

Maasai Cultural Visit

We can arrange a respectful Maasai community visit in the Mara region at an additional cost.

Best Time to Travel

This safari operates throughout the year. January to March generally brings warm, relatively dry conditions, while April and May offer greener landscapes, fewer visitors and some of the strongest low-season accommodation value.

July to October is the busiest period in the Masai Mara because travelers visit during the broader migration season. However, herd movements and river crossings cannot be guaranteed.

November and early December can provide greener scenery and good resident wildlife viewing, while Christmas and New Year usually attract higher accommodation rates.

What to Carry

• Passport or valid identification
• Proof of residency when using a resident rate
• Soft-sided travel bag
• Small day bag
• Comfortable safari clothing
• Warm jacket or fleece
• Closed shoes
• Hat and sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• Insect repellent
• Camera or smartphone
• Binoculars
• Power bank
• Personal medication
• Reusable water bottle
• Travel-insurance information

Good to Know Before Booking

This is a private safari, so the Land Cruiser remains dedicated to your party throughout the itinerary. However, conservancy and reserve rules, road conditions, weather and wildlife movements still affect the daily schedule.

Day 2 combines the transfer from Ol Pejeta with the Lake Naivasha activities. Therefore, the safari leaves Ol Pejeta early enough to allow sufficient time for the boat safari and Crescent Island walk.

Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Migration crossings in particular depend entirely on natural herd movements and conditions.

Booking and Payment

To request an accurate quotation, provide your travel dates, number of travelers, children’s ages, nationality or residency category and room preference.

Because this is a private safari, group size directly affects the per-person rate. We’ll calculate the correct price for your party, rather than applying the lowest 6–7-person rate to every booking.

Before payment, your quotation will confirm accommodation, private Land Cruiser, fees, meals, Naivasha activities and optional experiences.

Cancellation and Changes

Cancellation and amendment conditions depend on your travel dates, confirmed accommodation and supplier policies. Peak and festive bookings may have stricter payment and cancellation conditions.

Tunza Tours will provide the applicable terms before payment. Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended.
