This itinerary strings together the three Kenyan parks visitors ask for most often. After the Mara and Nakuru, we cut south to Amboseli National Park, known for large, easily-photographed elephant herds set against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro across the border in Tanzania (visible on clear days). Six days gives each park a genuine visit rather than a drive-through.
Full days of game drives in both the Masai Mara and Amboseli
Rhino sanctuary at Lake Nakuru
Amboseli's large, easily-viewed elephant herds
Views of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days
Accommodation: Mid-range lodge and tented camp (upgradeable to luxury)
Vehicle: 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with pop-up roof
The Mara has resident wildlife throughout the year. For the wildebeest migration and river crossings, July to October is the classic window, though exact timing shifts year to year with rainfall. The calving season further south in the Serengeti (January-March) means fewer wildebeest in the Mara itself during those months, though resident game viewing remains good.
