6 DAYS OL PEJETA, LAKE NAIVASHA & MASAI MARA PRIVATE SAFARI

6-Day Ol Pejeta Lake Naivasha Masai Mara Safari Overview

Experience wildlife conservation, Great Rift Valley scenery, and classic savannah game viewing on this 6-day Ol Pejeta Lake Naivasha Masai Mara safari from Nairobi.

First, travel north to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Here, private game drives provide opportunities to search for rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, lions, and other wildlife. You can also visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary and add specialist conservation activities. Next, continue to Lake Naivasha for a relaxing Rift Valley stop. Depending on your interests, you can add a boat ride, Crescent Island nature walk, Hell’s Gate visit or Mount Longonot hike. Finally, spend three nights in the Masai Mara region.

Two full safari days provide more time to explore different wildlife areas, search for predators, and enjoy unhurried photography. The package operates as a private safari. Therefore, your traveling party has exclusive use of the safari vehicle and driver-guide. Budget, standard, midrange, and luxury accommodation options are available.

This safari suits couples, families, honeymooners, photographers, conservation enthusiasts, solo private travelers, and small groups.

Safari Route

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

---

Why This Safari Route Works

This itinerary follows a practical circuit through central Kenya and the Great Rift Valley.

First, the safari travels north from Nairobi to Ol Pejeta. Next, it continues southwest to Lake Naivasha. Afterward, the journey moves through Narok to the Masai Mara. Finally, the safari returns directly to Nairobi. As a result, the route avoids unnecessary backtracking between the main destinations.

The itinerary also balances different experiences. Ol Pejeta provides wildlife conservation and rhino viewing. Lake Naivasha adds lake scenery and optional outdoor activities. Meanwhile, the Masai Mara delivers extended classic game viewing.

Three nights in the Mara provide more safari time than a shorter two-night visit.

Your Private Safari Experience

This package operates as a private safari.

Your traveling party will have exclusive use of the safari vehicle and the services of a dedicated driver-guide.

Therefore, you will not need to coordinate the program with unrelated travelers.

A private safari provides greater flexibility with:

• Nairobi pickup time
• Comfort and refreshment stops
• Game-drive duration
• Wildlife photography
• Picnic-lunch arrangements
• Accommodation selection
• Lake Naivasha activities
• Ol Pejeta experiences
• Family requirements
• Optional safari extensions

Your guide can also adapt the daily program according to wildlife activity, weather, and your interests.

However, travel distances, park operating hours, and accommodation schedules will still influence the itinerary.

Safari Price

Starting From USD 1,850 Per Person Sharing

The advertised amount is an indicative low-season rate.

It is based on a private safari van with budget or standard accommodation.

However, your final safari price will depend on:

• Travel dates and safari season
• Number of adults and children traveling
• Room occupancy and sleeping arrangements
• Selected accommodation category
• Camp, lodge, and hotel availability
• Exact accommodation locations
• Safari vehicle type
• Current park and conservancy fees
• Selected Ol Pejeta experiences
• Lake Naivasha activity arrangements
• Optional Masai Mara activities
• Airport transfers or additional Nairobi accommodation
• Safari or beach extensions

For example, a private 4×4 Land Cruiser, mid-range accommodation, or luxury lodges will increase the final price.

In addition, a single-room supplement may apply.

Some properties may offer reduced child rates according to age and room arrangements.

Solo private safari pricing differs because one traveler covers the private vehicle and driver-guide costs.

Every Tunza Tours quotation will clearly show the services included, excluded, and payable separately.

Best Time to Take This Safari

You can enjoy this safari year-round.

However, wildlife conditions, rainfall, accommodation prices, and visitor numbers vary by season.

July to October

These months are popular for dry-season game viewing.

Migration herds may enter the wider Masai Mara ecosystem during this period. However, rainfall, grazing conditions, and herd behavior determine their exact movements. Demand is usually high. Therefore, early booking is recommended.

January to March

These months are generally warm and relatively dry.

As a result, wildlife viewing can be rewarding throughout the route. Clearer conditions may also create good landscape and wildlife photography opportunities.

April to June

The long rainy season brings green landscapes and fewer visitors.

Selected accommodation providers may also offer seasonal rates. However, rain can affect roads, transfer times, and outdoor activities.

November to December

The short rains refresh the landscape while still allowing rewarding safari experiences. Conditions vary each year. Therefore, minor program adjustments may be necessary.

Great Migration Note

The migration follows rainfall, grazing conditions, and herd behavior. Consequently, exact herd locations and Mara River crossings cannot be guaranteed.

Lake Naivasha Activity Note

Boat trips and walking activities depend on weather, water levels, daylight, and local safety conditions.
