Depart Nairobi after breakfast and drive south toward Amboseli. Check in for lunch before an afternoon game drive across open plains and seasonal wetland areas. Look for elephants, giraffes, zebras and predators while keeping an eye on Kilimanjaro, which is often clearest in the cooler hours.
6 Days Amboseli, Lake Naivasha & Maasai Mara Safari
Elephants beneath Kilimanjaro, a Rift Valley lake break and two nights of classic Maasai Mara wildlife viewing.
Private Kenya journeys designed around your own people, pace and priorities.
This six-day private Kenya safari links three very different landscapes in a route that begins and ends in Nairobi. Amboseli provides elephant-rich plains, wetlands and the possibility of Mount Kilimanjaro views; Lake Naivasha changes the pace with freshwater scenery and optional boating; the Maasai Mara then delivers broad savannah and high-quality predator viewing. It is a balanced first safari for travellers who want wildlife variety without adding too many one-night stops.
Start early for soft light and mountain views. Explore elephant corridors, marsh-fed habitats and open plains with time for unhurried photography. Return to the lodge for a break at midday or remain out with a picnic, then continue later in the afternoon as wildlife becomes active again.
Leave Amboseli after breakfast and cross toward the Great Rift Valley. Arrive in the Naivasha area for a slower afternoon beside the freshwater lake. A boat excursion can be included in the confirmed package, offering a different perspective on hippos and birdlife, or the afternoon can be kept free for rest.
After breakfast, drive through Rift Valley landscapes and onward to the Maasai Mara. Settle into camp or lodge and, if arrival time permits, begin the Mara experience with a late-afternoon game drive searching for elephants, plains game and predators.
Dedicate a full day to the Mara. Your guide will adjust the route according to wildlife reports, season and your interests. Spend time around predator territories, large herbivore herds and river systems, with a picnic option allowing maximum time in the field.
Enjoy breakfast and, where the schedule allows, a brief final wildlife drive before leaving the Mara. Travel back to Nairobi for a hotel or airport drop-off, with timing planned around your onward arrangements.
