Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru, An amazing journey
krishn0h,Apr 2, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We booked this trip with Abner Safaris to visit Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. To be honest, at the end of the trip, we felt like we had some incredible times and moments. After we went on a game drive in Masai Mara, we realized that we had made the right decision. Seeing wildlife moving naturally in the vast grasslands is not like watching it on TV or YouTube, it is a completely different feeling to see it in real life. Our guide drove very patiently, did not rush us, so we were able to take our time to see the animals. The environment of Lake Nakuru was absolutely peaceful and beautiful. After the excitement of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru was very relaxing for us. The scenery around the lake, the birds, and the peaceful environment, all in all, the place was very nice. The thing that I liked the most about the entire trip was that everything was planned very well. There was no hassle, delay or mess anywhere. Accommodation, food, car, everything was managed properly. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. This trip was not just a trip for us, it was some beautiful time we spent together.
It was a great decision

5.00We did a 5 day safari on a moderate budget. Great decision. All park entrance fees, breakfast, box lunch and dinner, drinking water were included. The 4x4 safari vehicle had free wifi. The accommodation at the Masai Mara hotel was excellent, and we had a wonderful morning every morning at the Mara camp there. Many thanks to our safari guide John Karanja, who made sure we had a safe journey. His driving was excellent even in difficult and adverse conditions. And because of him we got to see the Big Five in full! An amazing experience!
Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are great safari experiences

5.00We took part in an amazing 4 days/3 nights safari package with Abner Safaris, where we visited Maasai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park. Accommodation was in comfortable mid-range lodges, nestled in a peaceful and beautiful setting amidst nature. The entire package included park entrance fees, set meals, the services of a professional safari guide and game drives in a 4×4 safari vehicle. Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable, friendly and very experienced with wildlife. Because of him, we were able to enjoy every moment of the safari better. The opportunity to see various wildlife up close during the game drives was truly unforgettable. Our trip was a very well planned and memorable safari experience.

5.00Our safari trip in Kenya was truly an incredible experience. A unique adventure of vast grasslands, wildlife, and the immense beauty of nature. From the moment we entered the Maasai Mara National Reserve, it felt like we were in a living National Geographic documentary. The vast savannah all around, and the free roaming of various wildlife including lions, zebras, and gazelles in front of our eyes, every moment was full of excitement. The experience of Tsavo National Park was also different. The vastness of the park and the group of elephants roaming the red soil were truly impressive. It was a great blessing for us to get the opportunity to see this diversity of nature up close. The game drive in the safari jeep was the most exciting part of the entire trip. Thanks to the skilled guide, we were able to see the animals very closely and learn about their behavior.
Absolutely unique safari

5.00Our 3 day honeymoon safari was an amazing experience. (MAASAI MARA, AMBOSELI PARK) The breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the stunning natural scenery of the Great Rift Valley made the trip romantic and memorable. Many thanks to Abner Safaris for making our safari itinerary exceptional.
Every moment informative and enjoyable

5.00We booked a 5 days 4 nights safari trip with Abner Safaris, which included Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the majestic Maasai Mara. The tour guide, Mr Robert Nyamwaya, planned the entire trip in a perfectly planned and hassle-free manner. We were mesmerized by the beautiful bird and hippo sightings during the boat trip on Lake Naivasha. The close-up view of the numerous flamingos and rhinos in Lake Nakuru was truly unforgettable. However, the most memorable moment was the experience of seeing numerous wildlife including lions, elephants, giraffes and more together in the Maasai Mara. Our guide was very experienced and friendly, who made every moment informative and enjoyable. The accommodation was comfortable and the quality of the food was also excellent. Abner Safaris made the entire trip not just a trip, but one of the best memories of our lives. We would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
