Overview

6 Days Amboseli Lake Nakuru Safari

The Amboseli Lake Nakuru Safari including the Masai Mara is the ultimate Kenyan circuit for travelers who want to experience the “Big Five” in three distinct ecosystems. From the giant elephant herds under Mount Kilimanjaro to the rare rhinos of the Great Rift Valley and the predator-rich plains of the Masai Mara, this tour offers a complete African adventure. Because we prioritize your comfort, this entire journey is conducted in a customized 4×4 Land Cruiser, providing the best vantage point for photography.

Why Book the Amboseli Lake Nakuru Safari?

Choosing this 6-day program allows you to see the best of Kenya without the rush. Many shorter tours skip the essential stops, but our itinerary ensures you spend quality time in each park. First, you will witness the “Home of the Elephants” in Amboseli. Next, you will explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lake Nakuru. Finally, you will conclude your journey in the world-famous Masai Mara, home to the Great Wildebeest Migration.

To ensure a seamless experience, Back of Africa Adventure handles all logistics. We use professional driver-guides who are experts in animal behavior and local history. Furthermore, our use of rugged 4×4 vehicles means we can access remote areas of the parks that standard minivans simply cannot reach.
