6 Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli

Embark on an unforgettable six-day journey through Kenya’s most celebrated national parks — a safari that blends breathtaking landscapes, rich wildlife encounters, and the essence of Africa’s natural beauty. Your adventure begins with the world-famous Masai Mara, home to endless plains, dramatic big cat sightings, and the iconic Big Five. Spend two immersive days exploring one of Africa’s greatest wildlife havens, where golden sunsets meet roaming elephants, grazing giraffes, and majestic lion prides. From there, travel north to the shimmering shores of Lake Nakuru, a beautiful alkaline lake renowned for its rhino sanctuary, seasonal flamingos, and unique wildlife such as the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe. The journey continues south to Amboseli National Park, a photographer’s paradise framed by the towering presence of Mount Kilimanjaro. Here, elephant herds roam freely across open plains, and early mornings offer spectacular views of Africa’s highest peak. Enjoy a full day of game drives, capturing the park’s unmatched scenery and diverse wildlife before concluding your safari with a final sunrise drive. With seamless travel, comfortable accommodations, and expert-guided experiences, this 6-day safari brings you face-to-face with Kenya’s most iconic landscapes and wildlife — the perfect blend of adventure, discovery, and natural wonder.

Trip Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve (Afternoon Game Drive)
Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi, joining your fellow safari travelers for a scenic journey along the Great Rift Valley. Stop at viewpoints along the escarpment to admire sweeping vistas and the vast valley floor dotted with lakes and acacia trees. Continue through the rolling hills and into the open plains of the Mara, arriving in time for lunch. After a short rest, set off on your first game drive in the Masai Mara. The afternoon light bathes the savannah in golden hues, perfect for spotting elephants grazing, giraffes silhouetted against the sky, and prides of lions lazing in the grass. As the sun sets, return to camp for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2: Masai Mara National Reserve – Full Day Game Drive
After breakfast, depart with a packed picnic lunch for a full day of exploration in one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife reserves. The Mara’s rich ecosystem is home to an astonishing variety of animals – from the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino) to cheetahs, hyenas, and countless herbivores. If your safari coincides with the migration season, you might witness dramatic river crossings. Enjoy lunch under the shade of an acacia tree while listening to the distant calls of wildebeest and zebras. Continue game viewing in the afternoon before heading back to camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Masai Mara – Lake Nakuru National Park (Afternoon Game Drive)
After breakfast, leave the Masai Mara and travel north toward Lake Nakuru National Park. Arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive around the shimmering alkaline lake, famous for its rhino sanctuary and flocks of flamingos that paint the shores pink (seasonal). Keep your eyes peeled for Rothschild’s giraffes, tree-climbing lions, and an impressive variety of bird species. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.
Day 4: Lake Nakuru – Amboseli National Park
After breakfast, depart for Amboseli National Park, traveling through changing landscapes – from fertile highlands to the dusty plains of southern Kenya. Arrive in the late afternoon for check-in, dinner, and overnight stay. Enjoy the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro looming over the horizon.
Day 5: Amboseli National Park – Full Day Game Drive
Today you’ll enjoy a full day exploring Amboseli, renowned for its massive herds of elephants and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The morning light offers the best chance for photography as animals graze against Africa’s highest peak. Look for predators like lions and cheetahs, as well as giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest roaming the open plains. Picnic lunch will be served in the park before continuing your game drive in search of more wildlife. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and overnight.
Day 6: Amboseli – Nairobi
After breakfast, enjoy a final early morning game drive as the sun rises over Kilimanjaro. Capture your last memories of Amboseli’s wildlife before leaving the park. Travel back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon where you will be dropped off at your chosen location or the airport for your onward journey.
