7Days/6 Nights Maasai Mara Game Reserve – Lake Naivasha – Amboseli National Park Camping Safari
This one week Safari is a delightful journey for travelers with limited time away from home yet who desire an in-depth safari experience. Devoted exclusively to Kenya, exactly a week we touch upon nearly all of the region’s highlights, experiencing exceptional wildlife throughout. And, with short distance driving time from one park to the other to expedite travel between locations and maximize time in each game park.
The breadth and scope of This Safari encompass everything for which Kenya is famous—the magnificent scenery, the breathtaking wildlife, the excitement and adventure—all in a timeframe that suits your needs.
Day 1 Nairobi – Maasai Mara Game Reserve

This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest’s migration and is home of the Big Five. The Mara Game Reserve-one of the greatest wildernesses of the world. Overnight at our campsite. (FB)
Day 2 Discover Maasai Mara
The search for great predators and perhaps even cubs continues today during extensive game runs. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs. During our stay we also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Maasai people to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.
