This 5-day mid-range Kenya safari is a private road itinerary from Nairobi combining the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park. Priced from US$1,105 per person with full-board meals and comfortable mid-range lodges, it suits couples, families and small groups wanting Big Five game viewing without luxury pricing.
Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?
- Masai Mara National Reserve — two nights with rewarding game drives across the open savannah; from July to October the reserve may also offer a chance to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, depending on the movement of the herds
- Lake Naivasha — a relaxing Great Rift Valley stop with scenic views, birdlife and optional activities such as a boat ride or Crescent Island walking safari
- Amboseli National Park — large elephant herds and, on clear mornings, views of Mount Kilimanjaro; see this guide to Amboseli’s wildlife
Who Is This Safari For?
The 5-day length and fair pricing suit first-time safari travellers, couples, families and groups of friends who want Kenya’s headline reserves in under a week. Photographers benefit from early-morning and late-afternoon light in Amboseli, and the Naivasha stop breaks the driving between the Mara and the south. Two nights in the Mara leave enough time to explore different wildlife areas within the reserve rather than a single hurried loop, and departures operate all year round for parties from solo travellers to larger private groups. The route works equally well as a standalone holiday or as the safari portion of a longer Kenya trip.
What Is Included?
The rate covers private transport in a pop-up-roof Land Cruiser, a professional safari driver-guide, all park fees, selected mid-range accommodation, meals as per the itinerary, bottled water and Flying Doctors emergency evacuation cover; the full inclusions list appears on this page.
Which Alternatives Are Worth Comparing?
The 5-day luxury Kenya safari upgrades the same idea, while the 10-day mid-range safari adds Ol Pejeta, Samburu and Lake Nakuru and the 10-day luxury safari with flights replaces long drives with air transfers. The 3-day Maasai Mara safari and the 3-day Amboseli luxury safari suit tighter schedules, and the 10-day Kenya safari and Diani Beach holiday adds the coast.
