Route to Masai Mara & Amboseli National Park
Why Choose Masai Mara and Amboseli Safari
Witness the Big Five in Two Iconic Parks
Experience the thrill of a Kenya Big Five safari across two of the country’s most renowned parks. In the Masai Mara, you’ll encounter lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and, if lucky, elusive rhinos. Amboseli, with its open plains, is equally rewarding for sightings, especially elephants with stunning Kilimanjaro as their backdrop.
Spectacular Views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli
One of the highlights of Amboseli National Park is the unobstructed view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli’s landscape, dotted with acacia trees and swampy areas, creates picture-perfect scenes of elephants walking in front of Africa’s tallest mountain.
The Great Migration in Masai Mara (Seasonal)
For those traveling between July and October, this Great Migration safari in Masai Mara offers a front-row seat to the movement of millions of wildebeests, zebras, and antelope across the Mara River, pursued by hungry predators. This spectacle is one of the most incredible natural events on Earth.
Stay in Comfort – Luxury, Mid-Range & Budget Options
