This safari is perfect for
If you only have 4 days for a safari in Kenya, we recommend visiting Lake Nakuru and the Lemek Conservation Area, which belongs to the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
This 4 days safari in Kenya is divided in two parts, the first one is a 1 day safari in Lake Nakuru. Once we pick you up from Nairobi (early in the morning) we will head to the lake for lunch and our first safari. We will sleep there.
The second part of the 4-day safari is located in the Masai Mara, inside a conservation area with much less cars than the National Reserve (where 99% of the cars go). You have more information about the Masai Mara in this link.
In our second part of the safari, we will enjoy perhaps the best safari you can do in Kenya: with practically no cars, no mass tourism, with Maasai guides, and with the option to walk and in the middle of the Masai Mara. We will see the best sunset in the world and have lunch in what is probably the most beautiful place you have ever eaten.
And all this, without forgetting the positive impact on the local communities, since the entire safari is managed by local Maasai communities and by an NGO that dedicates all the profits to the schooling of Maasai children. This type of regenerative safari in Kenya, also allows us to see the positive impact it has on the local population, in the form of education, protection of women and access to water among other projects.
Which area of the Masai Mara will we visit during our 4-day Safari in Kenya?
In these 4 days of responsible safari with Maasai in Kenya we will be able to see the essentials of the Lemek Conservancy, an area belonging to the Maasai Mara with a great added value: it is an area inhabited and managed by the Maasai community, where they live in total harmony with the wildlife. Here there is no separation between the safari area and the area where the community lives, and also, not being a tourist area, the animals live much quieter. In fact, there are times of the year when they migrate to this area, fleeing the crowds of tourists in the National Reserve area.
Advantages of going on safari in a Conservation Area
This is one of the big differences with a conventional safari. In this 4-day safari in the Masai Mara in Kenya you will be able, with your Maasai guides, to be very close to the animals. There are no set hours, you can watch sunsets, walk through the savannah, return in the evening, or return to rest and later continue. From the camp, you will be 20 minutes by 4×4 to see the wildest nature.
Regenerative tourism in Kenya
In 4 days of responsible and supportive safari, besides enjoying the best company, eating exquisite food with local and sustainable recipes, we will be contributing to the entire Maasai community, since everything you invest in your adventure goes to them through the NGO with which we collaborate in Trip To Help. With your trip, you will be helping the schooling of hundreds of children, as well as vocational training programs and female empowerment of women in the area. You will get to know first hand all the projects that the NGO has, and you will be able to see their educational center which is located next to our lodging.
This way, you can travel and help at the same time. While on this 4-day Maasai Mara safari in Kenya with all the amenities, you will be leaving a positive impact in the area. In addition, you will be surprised by the tranquility and the low volume of tourists in this area, which can only be visited by those who stay here, and for this, they must contribute to the Maasai community.

Lodging during the 4 days of Safari in Kenya:
Accommodation at Lake Nakuru
In the 4 days of Safari in Kenya, we will sleep in two different lodges. One in Lake Nakuru and the other in the Masai Mara.
In Lake Nakuru, we can select the hotel category.
- Economy Option: In a hotel within the city, which would be like a “typical European 3-star hotel”:
- Or in a hotel within the Lake Nakuru Park, which would be the typical safari hotel and has an extra cost compared to the price offered on the web (depending on the dates of travel).
Lodging in the Maasai Mara conservation area
We will stay in glamping tents with private bathroom and shower and, as shown in the photo, surrounded by trees and nature. The lodge is within the conservation area, the government fees that must be paid to stay in a protected area are included in the price. The tents have hot water, and are insulated from mosquitoes and other insects.
The lodge has a Maasai cook who will cook delicious recipes every day that will surprise us with their quality. All with a very close treatment, which will allow us to get to know a Masai team that are almost like family.
