Experience four of Kenya’s well-known wildlife destinations on one carefully planned 6-day Kenya safari from Nairobi.
This Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli safari combines the open savannah of Masai Mara with the birdlife and rhinos of Lake Nakuru, the scenic freshwater surroundings of Lake Naivasha, and the elephant-filled plains of Amboseli.
The safari is designed for travelers who want to see several of Kenya’s major attractions without spending too many days on the road. You will enjoy guided game drives, full-board meals, park fees and comfortable accommodation while traveling in a shared 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof.
You can expect opportunities to see lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, hippos, rhinos and many bird species. In Amboseli, you may also enjoy views of Mount Kilimanjaro, weather permitting.
