An unforgettable journey into scenic African landscapes, hosting an incredible abundance of wildlife and birds! The tour begins in Nairobi and could end in Mombasa or back in Nairobi. You will spend 2 nights in the Masai Mara National Reserve, 2 nights in Amboseli National Park, and a night in Tsavo National Park.

The safari begins with a drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This is where it happens – one of the most spectacular wildlife shows on earth, the Great Wildebeest Migration.

The Big Five and a variety of other animals can be seen roaming on the open grasslands scattered with thorn trees. The landscape – a scene from Out of Africa, the original inhabitants – the famous Maasai warriors.

Next, we visit Amboseli National Park. This scenic park is known as one of the best places to get up close to big herds of elephants, making for amazing photos with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Amboseli Park hosts a variety of large mammals and birds.

After 2 nights in Amboseli, we drive to Tsavo West National Park. Both Tsavo East and Tsavo West combined to form one of the largest game reserves in the world, at about 22700 km².

Tsavo National Park is famous for the man-eating lions of Tsavo, which preyed on railway workers in colonial times. Tsavo West is home to Africa’s Big Five – buffaloes, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and the notorious lions – and giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, and plenty of antelopes.

After a night in Tsavo West National Park, we drive to Mombasa or return to Nairobi. In Nairobi, you can choose between drop-off at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your hotel.

6 Day Kenya Safari Masai Mara Amboseli & Tsavo National Park Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi – Drive to Masai Mara Game Reserve

Leaving Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, this morning, our journey takes us across the stunning vistas of the Great Rift Valley and onwards to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Passing Mount Longonot and the Loita Hills, we eventually arrive at our camp/ lodge in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

After lunch, a sensational game drive is planned. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 animal species have been recorded here.

You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, leopards, many kinds of antelopes, and elephants. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place.

This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena, and vultures.

Day 2: Explore Masai Mara National Reserve

We spend a full day in the Masai Mara in the morning and afternoon ‘Spice’ game drives. The trees in the distance might turn out to be a family of Giraffes.

Those clumps of bushes are a pride of Lions, and the rock that moves is a Rhino lumbering out of your way. With diligence and some luck, you may encounter a family of Cheetahs, or a herd of Elephants crossing the path in front of you.

Large animals are not the only entertainment – a family of warthogs may amuse you, running as fast as their little legs will carry them until they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup.

Day 3: Masai Mara – Drive to Nairobi – Proceed by road to Amboseli National Park

Rise early to enjoy a delicious breakfast at your lodge or camp. Depart by road to Amboseli National Park. The Park shelters more than 420 species of birds and has an enormous Elephant population, along with other big game, attracted to the area by underground springs fed by the melting snows of Mount Kilimanjaro.

We have lunch in Nairobi before proceeding to Amboseli and enjoying a late-afternoon game drive en route to our lodge/camp.

This morning, we rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit. We set off for a ‘Spice’ game drive. Amboseli is an excellent place to view a multitude of wildlife, including everything from Wildebeest to Giraffes to Baboons.

A visit to a Masai village is planned after breakfast. Midday finds us at our lodge for lunch and afternoon rest, followed by another game drive. Amboseli is home to the legendary Masai tribesmen.

Masai warriors are famous and are a proud nomadic tribe whose legendary prowess in battle and single-handed acts of bravery in fights with the wild animals are known across the world.

After breakfast, depart for Tsavo West National Park to arrive in time for lunch at our lodge or Camp. Tsavo West is home to elephants, crocodiles, Vervet monkeys, antelopes, baboons, giraffes, hippos, and lions.

The park is a marvel in terms of geophysical character and plant diversity. Mzima Springs, the source of Mombasa’s water, is located here. These springs are recharged daily with hundreds of millions of liters of crystal-clear water by underground streams emanating from the Chyulu Hills.

At Mzima, all sorts of animals gather for a drink, particularly in the dry season. You may also be able to view hippo and crocodiles from the underwater glass tank.
