From Nairobi: 6-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli Safari With Stays and Entry Fees

Track Kenya's Big Five across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli on a 6-day guided safari with included park entry and stays.

Getting started

Begin your 6-day safari in Nairobi with round-trip transfers that take you directly to your first park. After meeting your professional English-speaking driver/guide, you board a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle or minivan and set off toward the savannah. Your accommodation and meals then follow the itinerary from the first afternoon onward.

What to expect

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve is your introduction to Kenya’s classic savannah grassland and its Big Five wildlife viewing. You explore the reserve on game drives that focus on open plains and riverine areas where predators and grazing herds converge.

Features

• Game drives in a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle and minivan let you stand safely to scan the savannah grassland for the Big Five, with your driver/guide positioning the vehicle for clear views and photographs.

• A professional English-speaking driver/guide shares wildlife behavior and tracking insights during each game drive, turning sightings into a deeper understanding of life on the Mara plains.

• Accommodation as specified in the itinerary is provided inside or near the reserve, with luxury, comfort, or budget tented camps and hotels available depending on the option selected.

• Meals as specified in the itinerary are included during your time in Masai Mara, so you focus on game drives and rest between outings without arranging food separately.

• Bottled water during game drives is supplied in the vehicle, keeping you hydrated as you move between wildlife viewing areas.

• This safari can run as a private or shared safari as per the option you select.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park introduces you to the Rift Valley environment and its lakeshore ecosystems. You drive around the park’s viewpoints and shores, looking for thousands of flamingos and other birdlife that gather along the alkaline lake.

Features

• Game drives around Lake Nakuru focus on viewing thousands of flamingos and other waterbirds along the lake edge, with your driver/guide stopping at key viewpoints for photography and observation.

• Experiencing the Rift Valley landscape is part of this section of the safari, as you travel through the valley to reach the park and then explore its lakeside roads during game drives.

• All park entry fees for Lake Nakuru National Park are included, so you enter the park directly without separate payment or on-the-day ticket arrangements.

• Accommodation as specified in the itinerary is arranged for your night near Lake Nakuru, matched to your chosen luxury, comfort, or budget tented camp and hotel option.

• Meals as specified in the itinerary continue here, covering your food from arrival through departure from the Lake Nakuru area.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is the final major stop, known for its contrasting ecosystem compared with the Mara and the Rift Valley. You explore its plains and wetlands on game drives that highlight large herds and open views unique to this park.

Features

• Game drives in Amboseli with a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle and minivan allow you to stand and watch wildlife across the park’s open plains, creating a different perspective from the earlier savannah and lake environments.

• Experiencing Kenya’s contrasting ecosystems is central to this park visit, as Amboseli’s landscapes and wildlife behavior offer a clear change from both Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
