## Details

This 6-day luxury Kenya safari opens with a scheduled 10:00am–11:00am flight from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, then continues by private 4x4 through Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Priced from US$2,722 per person full board, it suits travellers wanting a comfortable fly-in start and broad park coverage in under a week.

## Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?

- Masai Mara National Reserve — two nights at a luxury camp or lodge, with an evening game drive on arrival and a full-day drive with picnic lunch
- Lake Nakuru National Park — rhino, lake scenery, birdlife and compact game viewing
- Lake Naivasha — a boat ride, hippo viewing, a Crescent Island walking safari and a visit to Hell’s Gate National Park
- Amboseli National Park — large elephant herds and, on clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro views before the final Nairobi drop-off

Together the four destinations combine Kenya’s most famous big-cat reserve, two contrasting Rift Valley lakes and the country’s best-known elephant park in a single loop.

## Who Is This Safari For?

The route is built for couples, honeymooners, families, small groups and first-time visitors who want luxury camps and lodges with a smooth start: flying to the Mara removes the longest road stage and puts guests on a game drive the same day. Travel agents also favour it as a balanced 6-day luxury package combining safari, lake activities, culture and scenery, and departures operate all year round.

## Why Choose This Route?

Front-loading the Mara by air means the most celebrated reserve comes first, while the return journey by road descends through the Rift Valley lakes at a gentler pace — rhinos at Nakuru, hippos and walking at Naivasha — before Amboseli provides a scenic final act. The result is a route that changes character every day or two rather than repeating the same style of game drive.

## What Is Included?

Rates cover the domestic flight as indicated, all transfers in a pop-up-roof Land Cruiser with a professional English-speaking guide, park and conservancy fees, full-board meals, the boat safari, airport pickup and drop-off and Flying Doctors emergency evacuation cover; the complete inclusions list appears on this page.

### What wildlife can travellers expect on this itinerary?
Common highlights include lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and antelopes in the Masai Mara; rhinos and birdlife in Lake Nakuru; hippos at Lake Naivasha; and large elephant herds in Amboseli.

### Why does this itinerary fly from Nairobi to Masai Mara instead of driving?
The scheduled 10:00–11:00 flight avoids a long road transfer of about 5–6 hours and helps guests arrive fresher for lunch and an afternoon game drive. It is a good luxury upgrade for couples, families and short-stay travellers.

### What wildlife can I expect on this safari?
The route offers big cats and plains game in the Masai Mara, rhinos and birdlife in Lake Nakuru, hippos and waterbirds at Lake Naivasha, and large elephant herds in Amboseli. Sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed.
