Overview

8-day safari adventure through two of Kenya’s most spectacular national parks — Masai Mara and Amboseli — along with the serene beauty of Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. This journey is perfect for wildlife lovers, photographers, honeymooners, or first-time safari travelers looking for a balanced mix of game drives, scenic landscapes, and cultural encounters.

Experience the thrill of spotting the Big Five — lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and leopard — on daily game drives in Masai Mara, Kenya’s top wildlife reserve, and witness the majestic elephants of Amboseli set against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Add to this the peaceful waters of Lake Naivasha and the flamingo-rich Lake Nakuru, and you have a safari that offers both diversity and depth.

Stay in carefully selected mid-range or luxury lodges, travel in a private 4x4 pop-up safari vehicle, and be guided by experienced English-speaking guides. Optional experiences like a hot air balloon ride, Maasai village visit, and biking in Hell’s Gate allow you to tailor your adventure.
