Tour Features

The Amboseli → Lake Naivasha → Lake Nakuru → Masai Mara route is Kenya’s most famous safari circuit and one of the best combinations for travelers seeking diverse wildlife, landscapes, and authentic safari experiences in a single journey. This classic route perfectly blends the country’s iconic national parks, Rift Valley scenery, and world-renowned game reserves, making it ideal for both first-time visitors and returning safari enthusiasts. The adventure normally begins in Amboseli National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The park offers open savannah landscapes that make wildlife viewing easy and rewarding. Visitors often encounter elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and numerous bird species. The snow-capped backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro creates some of the most iconic safari photographs in Africa, especially during early morning and sunset game drives. From Amboseli, the safari continues into Kenya’s spectacular Rift Valley region toward Lake Naivasha. This freshwater lake is known for its peaceful scenery, hippos, and abundant birdlife.

Getting There

Tourists can visit these safari locations once in Kenya and can show up via air, land or ocean, however, flights are the most favoured mode of transport.

Kenya's second international Airport is Moi International Airport (MBA), located 9km/6mi west of Mombasa, but aside from flights to Zanzibar, this is primarily used for domestic and charter flights.From Nairobi or Mombasa, one can fly or drive between reserves, or opt to do a bit of both. Most domestic flights out of Nairobi depart from Wilson Airport (WIL), 6km/4mi south of Nairobi.
