Maasai Mara & Amboseli Safari

Maasai Mara & Amboseli Safari

Experience two of Kenya's most iconic safari destinations on one unforgettable journey. Explore the wildlife-rich plains of the Maasai Mara before travelling to Amboseli, where elephants and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro create an unforgettable African experience.

 

Experience the remarkable diversity of Kenya on a seven-day safari combining the legendary Maasai Mara with the spectacular landscapes of Amboseli National Park.

Your journey begins in Nairobi before travelling through the Great Rift Valley towards the Maasai Mara. Once in the reserve, enjoy guided game drives across expansive grasslands where you may encounter lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and many other species.

Beyond wildlife, the Maasai Mara offers opportunities to appreciate the culture and traditions of communities living around the reserve. The open landscapes also provide exceptional opportunities for photography, especially during sunrise and sunset.

The journey continues towards Amboseli National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and dramatic views towards Mount Kilimanjaro when weather conditions are favourable. Amboseli's open plains, wetlands and acacia landscapes create a contrasting safari environment. Kenya's official tourism information identifies both the Maasai Mara and Amboseli among its major wildlife destinations.

  

This itinerary combines wildlife, scenery, culture and relaxation, making it an excellent introduction to Kenya.
