7-Day Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli Safari

The safari leaves Nairobi for the Maasai Mara, including the scheduled Rift Valley escarpment viewpoint stop before continuing to the reserve. The afternoon game drive introduces the grassland and woodland habitats explored during the stay.

Your guide selects viewing stops around the wildlife encountered, allowing time to observe animals and photograph the savannah landscape. The first Mara overnight precedes a full day of game viewing.

Morning and afternoon game drives explore the Maasai Mara’s grassland, wooded margins and riverine cover. The morning programme includes the planned further wildlife-viewing session, with the guide following suitable routes and current animal movements.

A Maasai village visit remains optional, separately arranged and priced. The afternoon drive provides another wildlife session before the second Mara overnight and the following day’s move to Lake Nakuru.

The programme continues from the Maasai Mara to Lake Nakuru National Park. The afternoon game drive explores the lake margins, grassland and woodland, looking for rhinos, giraffes, buffalo and other wildlife from permitted park routes.

Birdwatching complements the mammal viewing along the lakeshore. Flamingo numbers and locations vary with lake conditions, so viewing stops follow the birds and animals present during the drive.

The safari leaves Lake Nakuru for Lake Naivasha. The included afternoon boat ride introduces the freshwater lake, with opportunities to observe hippos and waterbirds from the operator’s route under the crew’s safety arrangements.

The included Crescent Island walk follows sanctuary paths through grazing habitat beside the lake. The walking and boat experiences provide a different perspective from the preceding vehicle-based wildlife sessions before the Naivasha overnight.

The road circuit continues from Lake Naivasha to Amboseli National Park. The afternoon game drive explores the plains and wetland edges, looking for elephants and other wildlife moving through the park’s different habitats.

Your guide chooses suitable stops for observation and photography. Kilimanjaro may form part of the wider landscape when cloud cover permits a view, while wildlife viewing follows the animals encountered along the park routes.

Morning and afternoon game drives give the full day to Amboseli. Your guide explores open plains, wetland margins and woodland, looking for elephants, other mammals and birds, with time to observe behaviour at suitable sightings.

The later drive continues the park exploration before the second Amboseli overnight. The two sessions provide different perspectives on the wildlife habitats and surrounding landscape.

The final morning concludes the Amboseli stay before the road return to Nairobi and the agreed hotel drop-off. An optional city or souvenir-shopping stop can be arranged when the onward schedule allows. The day completes the Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli circuit.
