5 Days Amboseli Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari

5 Days Amboseli Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari Overview

Have fun touring Kenya at Amboseli Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Reserve. You’ll make your way to Amboseli National Park, the home of the largest elephants. Then go to Lake Nakuru National Park to see the most fantastic ornithological spots, flamingos, and a variety of wildlife animals. Later, depart Lake Nakuru National Park to Masai Mara for a full-day game viewing wildlife.

Day 1: Nairobi – Amboseli National Park

Upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our company representative will meet you for a briefing and then drive to Amboseli National Park. We will arrive at the camp with enough time to settle in before lunch with a little time to relax before we head out for our afternoon game drive.

We explore one of Kenya’s most popular tourist parks for the opportunity to see animals such as lions, spotted hyenas, wild cats, jackals, caracals and cheetahs against the backdrop of Africa’s highest mountain- Mount Kilimanjaro. The elephants are the kings of the park, no doubt, they are fond of the swamp areas in the park, where they share the cool waters with the hippos and hide beneath the papyrus. Return back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2: Amboseli National Park – Lake Nakuru National Park

Rise up early for breakfast then depart Amboseli for Lake Nakuru. Along the way, we’ll have a brief stopover at the spectacular Great Rift Valley, which is a fault line some 3,500 miles (5,600km) long stretching from Ethiopia’s Red Sea through Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, and into Mozambique. Lake Nakuru offers you a rare insight into Kenya’s most diverse flora, fauna and wildlife and is famous for its huge flocks of pink flamingos.

The birds throng on Lake Nakuru itself, one of the Rift Valley soda lakes that comprises almost a third of the park’s area. More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here as well as a rich diversity of other wildlife. Lions, leopards, warthogs, waterbucks and white rhinos are just some of the animals you might see, and the landscapes range from sweeping grasslands bordering the lake to rocky cliffs and woodland. The park protects the largest euphorbia candelabrum forest in Africa. In the evening, return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
