7 Days Kenya Mid-Range Safari – Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha & Amboseli
Description
Embark on an unforgettable 7 Days Kenya Mid-Range Safari exploring four of Kenya's most spectacular safari destinations: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park.
Designed for travellers looking for greater comfort without moving into the premium luxury safari category, this 7-day Kenya safari package combines comfortable mid-range lodges and tented camps with extensive wildlife viewing, breathtaking Great Rift Valley scenery, a Lake Naivasha boat experience and classic African safari landscapes.
Your journey begins in Nairobi before travelling through Kenya's beautiful countryside and Great Rift Valley to the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Maasai Mara – Big Cats, Big Five & Endless Savannah
The Maasai Mara is one of the highlights of any Kenya wildlife safari. Its rolling grasslands, riverine habitats and expansive plains support an extraordinary variety of wildlife.
Your game drives offer opportunities to encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, antelopes and many other species.
Leopards are also present but are naturally more elusive.
The Maasai Mara is internationally famous as part of the greater Mara-Serengeti ecosystem and for the seasonal Great Wildebeest Migration. Travellers visiting during migration periods may witness large concentrations of wildebeest and zebras, although their exact movements and river crossings are natural events and cannot be guaranteed.
With two nights in the Mara, you'll have valuable time for game drives and photography.
Lake Nakuru – Rhino Country & Rift Valley Scenery
From Maasai Mara, your safari continues through the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Nakuru National Park.
Lake Nakuru provides a distinctly different safari environment, combining woodland, open grasslands, rocky escarpments and the lake ecosystem.
The park is particularly important for rhino conservation and gives safari travellers opportunities to look for both black and white rhinos.
Other possible wildlife sightings include buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, baboons and numerous bird species.
Lake Naivasha – Boat Safari & Relaxation
Continue to Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake surrounded by distinctive Rift Valley scenery.
Lake Naivasha gives this itinerary a refreshing break from traditional vehicle-based game drives.
A boat excursion provides opportunities to observe hippos and aquatic birdlife while enjoying the lake's peaceful surroundings.
Depending on your chosen package, you can also add activities such as a Crescent Island walking safari or a visit to Hell's Gate National Park.
Amboseli – Elephants & Mount Kilimanjaro
Your adventure then heads south to Amboseli National Park, completing the safari with another iconic Kenyan wildlife experience.
Amboseli is especially celebrated for its elephants and spectacular views toward Mount Kilimanjaro.
Spend two nights exploring its plains, wetlands and other habitats while searching for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, lions, hyenas and abundant birdlife.
When the weather is clear, Mount Kilimanjaro provides an extraordinary backdrop for safari photography.
The combination of Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli makes this itinerary particularly suitable for couples, families, small groups, photographers and first-time visitors who want to experience several of Kenya's signature landscapes within one well-planned trip.
