6 Days Wildlife Safari
Safari Introduction
Step into a world where still waters mirror flamingo skies, thundering hooves chase the wind, and elephants roam beneath snow-capped peaks. This 6-day safari weaves through three of Kenya’s most iconic landscapes—each with its own rhythm, story, and soul.
Begin at Lake Naivasha, a high-altitude haven where hippos lounge in crescent-shaped bays and colobus monkeys swing over papyrus-lined shores. Glide through freshwater channels, then walk among giraffes and zebras on Crescent Island in the cool Rift Valley breeze.
Next, head southwest to the untamed heart of the Masai Mara. Here, predator and prey play out the ancient dance of survival beneath sweeping golden plains. Whether you catch the thunder of migrating wildebeest or the silent stalk of a cheetah in the dusk, the Mara stirs something primal.
Finally, journey to Amboseli, where Africa’s giants roam in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. Watch the sky turn gold behind acacia silhouettes, and feel the earth pulse beneath herds of elephants on their timeless march.
Each day on this safari is a passage through beauty and wonder—a living tapestry where wilderness whispers, and memories are etched in every track and trail.

Wildlife You Can Spot
Kenya is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including the iconic Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—as well as giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, and countless bird species. National parks and reserves like Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo offer excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. However, as these animals roam freely in their natural habitats, sightings are not guaranteed. The wilderness is unpredictable, which adds to the excitement and authenticity of the safari experience.
