From Nairobi: 7-Day Ultimate Kenya Safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli with Stays and Entry Fees

Your experience

Explore Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli on a 7-day safari with included park fees, game drives, and airport transfers.

Getting started

Begin your 7-day safari with a round-trip transfer from Nairobi, where you meet your driver and board a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle. After loading your luggage, you set off toward the Great Rift Valley, already traveling in the same 4x4 that will be used for your game drives. As you leave the city, your journey into Kenya’s premier wildlife reserves begins.

What to expect

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara is one of Kenya’s premier wildlife reserves and a key focus of your safari, especially for sightings of the Big Five, big cats, and wildebeest. You stay in accommodation specified in your itinerary, with the option of luxury, comfort, or budget properties.

Features

• Game drives in Masai Mara take place in a pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle, so you can stand to search for the Big Five, big cats, and wildebeest while still seated and shaded during longer stretches.
• Activities include multiple game drives that are already covered by all park entry fees for Masai Mara, so you do not need to arrange permits or payments on arrival.
• Depending on the option selected, you enjoy luxury, comfort, or budget accommodation throughout the itinerary, with meals included as specified, so your time in Masai Mara focuses on wildlife rather than logistics.
• You can join a shared tour with other travelers or choose a private tour, making the Masai Mara segment suitable for adults and children of all ages.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru is described as a bird lover’s paradise and forms another major stop on your route through Kenya’s parks. You stay near Nakuru city at accommodation specified in your itinerary, or similar ones, subject to availability.

Features

• During game drives around Lake Nakuru in the same pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle, you focus on the lake and surrounding habitats that attract large concentrations of birdlife.
• Park entry fees for Nakuru are included for the duration of your visit, so you can move directly into the park with your guide without separate ticketing.
• Your accommodation near Nakuru is part of the overall luxury, comfort, or budget plan chosen at booking, with meals provided as specified in the itinerary.
• Travel between Masai Mara, Nakuru, and onward stops continues in the pop-up roof 4x4, so you keep the same vehicle for both transfers and wildlife viewing.

Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate area

Lake Naivasha and the Naivasha Hell's Gate Park area add a different landscape to your safari, with time based around Lake Naivasha rather than classic savanna game drives. Here you stay at accommodation specified in your itinerary, which can include Hotel Chambai Safari near Lake Naivasha for budget-based plans.

Features

• Your visit to Lake Naivasha and the Naivasha Hells Gate Park area is built into the 7-day routing, with all park entry fees for Naivasha included so you can enter without handling payments locally.
• Transfers in the pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle connect you between Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, so your luggage and travel setup remain consistent throughout this leg of the journey.
• Accommodation near Lake Naivasha is covered under your selected luxury, comfort, or budget category, with meals again following what is specified in the itinerary.
• Optional activities such as a boat ride on Lake Naivasha and cycling at Hell's Gate are available at an extra cost, as they are not included in the base package.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park lies in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro and forms the final major wildlife stop on your circuit. You stay at accommodation specified in your itinerary, including Manjaro Tented Camp for budget options bordering Amboseli National Park without fences.

Features

• Game drives in Amboseli are run from your pop-up roof 4x4 vehicle as you explore the park’s landscapes at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, using the same vehicle that has transported you across the itinerary.
• All park entry fees for Amboseli are included, so your vehicle can access the park gates and internal roads without additional charges during your stay.
• Your accommodation is part of a continuous stay that matches the category selected at booking, with meals included as specified.
• After your final Amboseli activities, the itinerary concludes by returning to Nairobi in your 4x4, completing the loop with your round-trip airport transfer back to the airport.

Wrapping up

Across all seven days, you choose between private or shared tours and between luxury, comfort, or budget accommodation or similar ones, subject to availability. International flights, additional nights before or after the tour, tips, drinks, and optional activities such as hot air balloon safaris, Masai village visits, boat rides at Lake Naivasha, and cycling at Hell's Gate are excluded and can be arranged at an extra cost.
