7-Day Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha, Hell’s Gate, Nakuru

Your Bush Escape Safaris guide will meet you in Nairobi for a safari briefing before departing towards the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley, stopping at designated viewpoints to admire one of Africa's most spectacular geological formations before continuing through Narok town into Maasai country.

Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in time for lunch and relaxation before embarking on your first afternoon game drive. Begin exploring the endless savannah in search of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes and countless other wildlife species.

Return to your accommodation as the sun sets over the African plains.

Spend the entire day exploring one of Africa's greatest wildlife destinations. Morning and afternoon game drives take you deep into the reserve where predators roam freely and large herbivore herds dominate the landscape.

Depending on the season, you may witness the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration, considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Throughout the day, your experienced safari guide will track wildlife while sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem and local Maasai culture.

An optional hot air balloon safari can be arranged at sunrise, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush.

After breakfast, depart the Masai Mara and journey towards Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its successful rhino conservation program and rich birdlife.

Following lunch and check-in, enjoy an afternoon game drive searching for endangered black and white rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, lions, leopards, buffaloes and numerous bird species that inhabit the park.

Lake Nakuru also offers stunning panoramic viewpoints overlooking the alkaline lake and surrounding escarpments.

Enjoy breakfast before driving to the picturesque Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya's beautiful freshwater lakes in the Great Rift Valley.

Choose an optional boat excursion to observe hippos and an impressive variety of birdlife while cruising across the tranquil waters. Continue to nearby Hell's Gate National Park, one of the few parks in Africa where visitors can enjoy cycling or guided walking safaris among zebras, giraffes, gazelles and dramatic volcanic cliffs.

After your adventure, return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

Following breakfast, depart the Rift Valley and travel south through Nairobi towards Amboseli National Park.

Arrive in time for lunch before heading out on an afternoon game drive across Amboseli's open plains. The park is internationally renowned for its massive elephant populations and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain.

If weather conditions allow, enjoy breathtaking views of the snow-capped summit while photographing elephants crossing the dusty plains.

Spend a full day exploring Amboseli National Park with morning and afternoon game drives.

The park offers exceptional opportunities to observe elephants at close range, along with lions, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes and over 400 recorded bird species. The swamps fed by underground springs from Mount Kilimanjaro attract wildlife throughout the year, making Amboseli one of Kenya's premier safari destinations.

Relax at your lodge in the evening while enjoying views across the African wilderness.

Enjoy an early morning game drive for one final opportunity to witness Amboseli's wildlife and capture memorable photographs of Mount Kilimanjaro before breakfast.
