Great Fun Safari
I went on a trip for 10 days with Unmatched Expeditions. The highlight of my trip was definitely Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. I loved the rhinos, flamingos and the peaceful walking safari and the boat rides. Everything was smooth from start to finish. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a safari in kenya

Looking forward to the next one!
I wondered what I could possibly experience on just a 3 day Kenya safari but Unmatched Expeditions proved that a lot can be done! I visited Amboseli National Park and Tsavo West where I enjoyed incredible game drives, excellent hotels and an even greater team from the guides to the tour consultants. I can’t wait to plan a longer trip with them maybe in Tanzania or Uganda next.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru cost?
+
Prices start at $792 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru?
+
Included: Crescent Island walk; All park entry fees; Lunch; Dinner; and Naivasha boat ride. Not included: International flights; Kenya e-visa; Tips & gratuities; and Travel insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 9 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to 2 Days Kenya Safari: Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru if the weather is bad?
