Explore Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara on a 5-day Kenya safari with elephants, Kilimanjaro views, a boat safari and Big Five wildlife.
Elephants, Lake Naivasha & Big Five Wildlife in Kenya
The 5-Day Amboseli, Lake Naivasha & Maasai Mara Safari brings together three very different Kenyan landscapes in one carefully planned journey. From the elephant-filled plains of Amboseli National Park, to the freshwater scenery of Lake Naivasha, and the wildlife-rich grasslands of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, this safari combines wildlife, scenery and varied experiences over five days.
The route is well suited to travelers who want to experience several of Kenya’s major safari destinations without taking a longer two-week itinerary.
You can enjoy elephant viewing with possible Mount Kilimanjaro views in Amboseli, a boat experience on Lake Naivasha, and several game drives in the Maasai Mara where lions, elephants, buffalo, cheetahs and leopards may be encountered.
Whether you are planning a first Kenya safari, honeymoon, couple’s getaway, photography trip or private holiday, the itinerary can be adapted around your preferred accommodation, travel dates and safari style.
