6 Days Maasai Mara & Amboseli Safari – Kenya (Premium Classic Wildlife Circuit)

Your safari begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi, driving through the Great Rift Valley with a stop at a scenic viewpoint for photography of the escarpment and valley floor.
Continue to Maasai Mara National Reserve, arriving in time for lunch and check-in at your lodge or tented camp.
After a short rest, proceed for your first afternoon game drive across the vast golden savannah plains. This is your introduction to the Mara ecosystem, with chances to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and predators such as lions and cheetahs.
Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, depart with packed lunch for a full-day exploration of Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Spend the day tracking the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — along with cheetahs, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, and large herds of plains game.
Between July and October, the Mara becomes the stage for the Great Migration, where wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River in dramatic predator-prey encounters.
Enjoy lunch in the wild under acacia trees or near riverbanks depending on wildlife movement.
Continue afternoon game drives before returning to your lodge at sunset for dinner and overnight stay.

Today is dedicated to deeper exploration of the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
You will visit different wildlife zones including riverine forests, kopjes (rock outcrops), and open plains where predators are highly active.
Morning game drives focus on early predator movement, especially lions and cheetahs hunting in the golden light.
Midday picnic lunch is enjoyed inside the reserve, allowing you to stay deep in the wilderness without returning to camp.
In the afternoon, continue game viewing and photography sessions before returning to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, enjoy a final short morning game drive as you exit Maasai Mara, capturing last wildlife sightings.
Begin your journey towards Amboseli National Park, passing through Nairobi or scenic Maasai countryside depending on routing.
Arrive in Amboseli in the late afternoon or evening, check in at your lodge or tented camp, and relax after the long journey.
Dinner and overnight stay in Amboseli.

After breakfast, depart for a full-day game drive in Amboseli National Park.
Amboseli is famous for its large elephant herds moving freely across open plains with Mount Kilimanjaro towering in the background. The park also offers excellent sightings of lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and diverse bird species.
Explore swamp areas fed by underground springs, which attract large concentrations of wildlife throughout the day.
Enjoy picnic lunch inside the park or return to the lodge depending on preference.
Continue afternoon game drives before returning at sunset for dinner and overnight stay.

Begin your final day with an early morning sunrise game drive, the best time for photography and predator sightings.
Return to your lodge for breakfast and check-out.
Depart Amboseli and drive back to Nairobi with scenic views of Maasai land and open countryside along the way.
Arrive in Nairobi in the afternoon, marking the end of your Maasai Mara & Amboseli safari experience.
Wildlife Experience
Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Mara offers unmatched Big Five viewing, dense predator populations, and massive herbivore herds. It is one of the best places in Africa to witness lion hunts, cheetah chases, and (seasonally) the Great Migration river crossings.
Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is one of Africa’s best elephant viewing destinations, offering close-up encounters with large herds in open landscapes framed by Mount Kilimanjaro. Swamps and seasonal wetlands support high wildlife concentrations and excellent birdlife.
Why This Safari Stands Out
✓ Combines Kenya’s two most iconic safari destinations
✓ High Big Five success rate in Maasai Mara
✓ World-class elephant photography in Amboseli
✓ Extended time for deeper game viewing in both parks
✓ Scenic Rift Valley and Maasai cultural landscapes
✓ Ideal for photographers, couples, and wildlife lovers
✓ Balanced mix of adventure, comfort, and diversity
