Tour Plan
The 7 Days of Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara safari is a popular itinerary for those who want to experience the country's diverse wildlife and beautiful landscapes.
The safari typically begins with a visit to Amboseli National Park, where visitors can view large herds of elephants and other wildlife against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. From there, the safari proceeds to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake surrounded by lush forests and home to a variety of bird species, hippos, and other wildlife.
Finally, the safari culminates with a visit to the Maasai Mara, one of Africa's most famous wildlife reserves and home to the annual wildebeest migration, and huge numbers of zebras, predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The Maasai Mara is also home to several Maasai communities. Visitors can learn about their traditional way of life and culture.
