Dusty tracks, an early light that paints the grass gold, and the distant shimmer of a broad lake: that’s the opening scene on a private four-day circuit from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Vehicles thread between acacia and grassland; flamingos stain Nakuru’s shorelines pink while Mara plains spread wide, a living stage for big cats and roaming herds.
