Amboseli, Lakes Naivasha & Nakuru, Hell's Gate & Masai Mara
Big Five, big cats, the wildebeest migration, flamingoes and so much more - six incredible parks in eight full days.
Six parks, eight days, every kind of safari there is
Discover six incredible parks in eight full days - great mountains, lakes, acacia woods and savannahs, home to the best of Africa's big game. Amboseli's elephant herds sit beneath Mt. Kilimanjaro, then it's on to lake country - Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru - for hippo, rhino, giraffe and great swaths of birdlife.
An optional Hell's Gate cycling safari adds another park to the mix, before the final four days immerse you in the Masai Mara, home to all of Africa's Big Five.

Nairobi → Amboseli National Park
7:30am pickup, down the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway past small farms and perhaps Masai herders tending cattle. We should be at Amboseli in time for lunch, framed by the majesty of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
We're certain to spot herds of elephant, plus lots of other game in this busy park. Toward evening, if the clouds around Kilimanjaro's summit disperse, an unforgettable view of the snow-capped peak awaits.

Full Day at Amboseli Park
Our first full day of game drives - as many as you please, or reserve time for relaxation. A pre-breakfast drive, then breakfast, then a mid-morning safari drive and lunch.
Besides its generous elephant population, Amboseli features great variety along its marshes. Observation Hill lives up to its name - a drive up here rewards with wildlife views and vistas of the surrounding country.
