Overview
Embark on a thrilling 6-day adventure exploring the iconic Masai Mara, tranquil Lake Naivasha, and the breathtaking Hell’s Gate National Park. This budget-friendly safari offers an unforgettable wildlife experience combined with scenic landscapes and exciting activities.Â
Day 1: Nairobi to Amboseli National Park
An early morning start at either your hotel or the airport before we drive to Amboseli National Park. Check-in at the accommodation and have lunch. In the afternoon, we go on a game drive. Amboseli National Park is situated south of Nairobi – most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lake bed and fragile grassland with patches of acacia woodland, while in the southern area there is a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps Ol Kenya, Ol Tukai, and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. After the evening game drive, we will head back to the camp for an overnight stay.Â
Overnight stay at: Nyati Camp
Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Amboseli National Park
Rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit, with packed lunch provided. An optional visit to a Masai village can be planned after breakfast. A visit reveals the singing and dancing that are part of the Masai’s daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best wildlife area in all of Africa to experience elephants at close range. Less harassed by poachers, elephants feeding and bathing in the swamps will form the highlight of any safari. Then in the evening, set back to the camp and have dinner before your overnight stay. Â
Overnight stay at: Nyati Camp
Day 3: Amboseli National Park – Lake Naivasha National Park
An early morning drive to Lake Naivasha, it is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rif Valley lakes. At 1910m (6200f), the water is fresh and the lake is fringed with dense clumps of papyrus (ancient Egyptian once used this to make paper). Kingfishers use the papyrus as a perch, herons hide in it while searching for food. Â
Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded). It is also a favourite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski, and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them, due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country’s fledgling wine industry. We will arrive at Lake Naivasha in the afternoon, where you can relax at the lake before heading back to the lodge for an overnight stay after eating dinner.Â
Overnight stay at: Naivasha Kongoni
Day 4: Lake Naivasha National Park – Maasai Mara National Reserve
Depart early in the morning to Maasai Mara National Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive. Mara holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. After the game drive, we’ll head back to the camp for dinner and overnight. Â
Overnight stay at: AA Mara
Day 5: Maasai Mara National Reserve Comprehensive Game Drive
After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it’s one of the few places where it’s possible to see the big five during a single morning’s game drive. Â
 Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one’s vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Â
 After the long day game drive, we will head back to the camp for dinner then spend our overnight.  Â
Day 6: Maasai Village – Nairobi
After breakfast, drive to Masai village at an extra cost, and head back to Nairobi having lunch in enroute arriving in Nairobi by early evening Â
