6 Days Amboseli, Aberdares, and Masai Mara Safari

This 6-days safari adventure combines three of Kenya’s most spectacular safari destinations – Amboseli National Park, Aberdares National Park, and the world-renowned Masai Mara Game Reserve. Starting at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, you will encounter large herds of elephants and breathtaking views of Africa’s highest mountain. The journey continues to the Aberdares, a unique forested highland teeming with wildlife, where you will stay at a lodge overlooking a floodlit waterhole that attracts nocturnal animals. Finally, the safari culminates at the Masai Mara, Kenya’s premier wildlife reserve, famous for its rich biodiversity and home to the Big Five. Here, you will enjoy unlimited game drives across rolling savannahs, with opportunities to witness dramatic predator-prey interactions and, if visiting between July and October, the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration. This safari offers a balanced mix of scenic beauty, luxury, and unforgettable wildlife encounters .
