A 6-day safari encompassing Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara National Reserve offers a diverse wildlife and landscape experience in Kenya.
The itinerary typically includes game drives in each park, opportunities to see the “Big Five” (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino), flamingos at Lake Nakuru, and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro from Amboseli.
Six days gives us plenty of time to really experience these very popular parks and all the wildlife wonders they hold. Amboseli and Masai Mara are known for their great numbers of large and small game offering lots of sightings in these two busy reserves. At Lake Naivasha and nearby parks, you’ll have the fun of sailing, walking, and bicycling safaris to get near the animals. This medium-length safari will have you exploring five wonderful destinations and all the natural wildlife that are waiting for your discovery.
Enjoy this amazing safari in a customized pop-up roof Natural World 4×4 Safari Jeep that has: Portable fridge/Cooler Box, 4 Binoculars, long-range high-frequency radio, Sand bags, 4G/LTE broadband WIFI connectivity, Power Outlets AC 230V, First Aid Kit, Safari Guide Books, Baby Seats (on request), Side steps (on request) and above all a professional multi-lingual safari guide that will ensure you have a memorable safari experience.
Two big reasons Amboseli National Park is Kenya’s second most popular park. The first – majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro dominates the horizon with its iconic snowy summit. The second is the busy population of elephants striding over the plains, often in view. You’ll enjoy discovering both in this postcard-like ‘Land of the Giants’.
Lake Naivasha and its surrounding parks are a varied world of birds, grazing game, and landscapes easily explored by jeep, boat, bicycle, and foot on some of the safaris we have planned for you. We’ll sail by hippos and take a guided walking tour at Crescent Island Game Sanctuary to see pelican, fish-eagle, wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle.
Ever pedal your way past grazing antelope and giraffe? We will enjoy a bike (or hiking) safari to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park. Amidst hot pools and other geothermal activity, this unique tour will take us through dramatic landscape, riding (or hiking) by buffalo and impala.
Now it’s time to set our sights on Kenya’s most popular park, the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. This sprawling natural sanctuary is home to thousands of wild animals, over 90 species of mammals. All of Africa’s Big Five are here and the park is known for many sightings of lion, cheetah, as well as elephant, rhino, wildebeest, and zebra. When you have been to the Masai Mara, you have experienced a true African safari.
