6 Day Kenya Safari from Nairobi

Package Overview

6 Day Kenya Safari from Nairobi | Masai Mara, Nakuru & Amboseli Circuit

This 6 Day Kenya Safari from Nairobi is a high-octane journey through Kenya’s top three national parks — Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. From the thundering hooves of wildebeest in the Mara to flamingo-covered lakes and elephants framed by Kilimanjaro, this route delivers pure wildlife energy with zero filler.

Whether you want budget thrills, mid-range comfort, or luxury wilderness escapes, this itinerary runs like safari gasoline at its finest.

Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve

Depart Nairobi early and descend into the Great Rift Valley. Arrive at Masai Mara in time for lunch and your first sunset game drive — lions, elephants, giraffes, and a crimson horizon to kick things off.

Day 2: Full Day in Masai Mara – Big Five Hunt

Today, it’s you and the wild. A full-day game drive across the Mara plains in search of the Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo. Visit the Mara River if traveling during migration season (July–October) for scenes straight from a wildlife documentary.

Day 3: Sunrise Game Drive – Transfer to Lake Nakuru

Wake up with the predators on a sunrise game drive, then head north to Lake Nakuru National Park — famous for its flamingos, white rhinos, and leopard sightings.

Day 4: Lake Nakuru – Game Viewing – Transfer to Amboseli

Enjoy a morning game drive in Nakuru’s acacia forest and lakeside shores. Afterward, begin the scenic road trip south to Amboseli National Park, arriving in time for dinner under the stars.

Day 5: Full Day in Amboseli – Kilimanjaro & Elephants

Amboseli delivers cinematic game drives. You’ll track elephant herds, gaze at Mount Kilimanjaro, and visit Observation Hill for sweeping views of plains and swamp ecosystems teeming with life.

Prefer to sleep under canvas? Our Kenya Camping Safaris put you closer to the wild.

Day 6: Amboseli – Return to Nairobi / Optional Coast Transfer

Wrap up with a final morning game drive, then hit the road for Nairobi. Optional transfer to Diani, Mombasa, or Watamu is available for beach-bound travelers. Add a final conservation stop at Haller Park if you pass through Mombasa.
