The trip, in short
A well-paced six-day introduction to Kenya's three signature landscapes: Amboseli's elephants, Lake Nakuru's flamingos and rhino, and two full days in the Masai Mara.
A well-rounded introduction to Kenya’s three signature landscapes: Amboseli’s dust-plain elephant herds framed by Kilimanjaro, Lake Nakuru’s rift valley shoreline thick with flamingos and rhino, and the Masai Mara’s open grassland, given two full days to let sightings build.
Six days is enough time to properly settle into each park rather than just passing through — mornings and afternoons are reserved for game drives, with the drive days themselves routed to take in Rift Valley viewpoints. A dependable, classic-format choice for a first Kenya safari.
What makes this one special
- Elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli
- Flamingos and rhino at Lake Nakuru National Park
- Two full days of game drives in the Masai Mara
