The 5-Day Luxury Kenya Safari is a five-day fly-and-drive itinerary linking the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park, priced from US$2,634 per person. Using scheduled flights to and from the bush plus private road transfers, it suits honeymooners, couples and time-pressed travellers who want Kenya's headline wildlife areas with luxury accommodation.
Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?
- Masai Mara National Reserve (Days 1–2): fly from Nairobi's Wilson Airstrip after your airport welcome, then enjoy game drives across the open savannah with a picnic lunch in the reserve, plus a Maasai village visit with an optional nature walk led by a Maasai moran.
- Lake Naivasha (Day 3): a peaceful freshwater lake known for hippos and birdlife, with a boat ride and a walking safari among giraffes, zebras and antelopes on Crescent Island.
- Amboseli National Park (Days 4–5): reached by a scheduled flight connection via Nairobi, with game drives across open plains and swamps before the road transfer back to the capital on the final day.
Who Is This Safari For?
This luxury itinerary suits travellers with only five days who still want the Mara's big cats, Amboseli's large elephant herds and a gentler lake day in between. Wildlife in the Mara includes lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas, while Amboseli offers breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro when the skies are clear. The pace works well for honeymooners, couples celebrating an occasion and small private groups who value flights over long drives.
What Is Included?
The price covers luxury camps and lodges on full board, a professional English-speaking safari guide, private pop-up-roof Land Cruiser transfers, all national park entry fees and the listed flights and activities. A complete list of inclusions appears further down this page.
