Overview
Embark on a 6 Days Kenya Safari that takes you through three of the country’s most iconic destinations—Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara National Reserve. From dramatic landscapes to thrilling wildlife encounters, this itinerary blends comfort, culture, and adventure in perfect harmony.
Your journey begins at Amboseli National Park, known for its massive elephant herds and jaw-dropping views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Morning and evening game drives provide fantastic opportunities to photograph giraffes, lions, zebras, and buffalo roaming freely across the open plains.
Next, travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha. Enjoy a boat safari where hippos bob just beside your boat and hundreds of bird species soar overhead. Later, take a guided walk on Crescent Island, where zebras and giraffes live peacefully without predators.
Then, head to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Here, the Big Five roam against a backdrop of golden savannah. If you travel between July and October, you might witness the dramatic Great Wildebeest Migration, one of nature’s most incredible shows. You can also opt for a hot air balloon safari or visit a local Maasai village for cultural immersion.
