7-Day Wildlife & Outdoor Activities Masai Mara Safari

For guests arriving from long-haul international flights, we strongly recommend arriving in Nairobi one day before the safari begins.

This optional first Day allows you to rest, recover from jet lag, and acclimatize before heading out on safari, ensuring you start your journey refreshed rather than fatigued.

On request, Camptrek Safaris can arrange airport meet-and-greet services, transfer services, and an overnight stay at The Boma Hotel, Nairobi, a trusted, comfortable hotel conveniently located 20 mins from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

This pre-safari night helps reduce travel stress and sets the tone for a smooth, well-paced safari experience.

Day 00 is optional and can be added to any itinerary upon request.

Accommodation

Spend the night at The Boma Nairobi, a Luxury hotel in Nairobi (City, Kenya) that is only about 20 Minutes from the Airport

Your Stay will be on Bed and Breakfast Basis

Today, you will be picked up from the airport or your accommodation in Nairobi by our company representative. After a brief introductory session, you will be handed over to your driver-guide to begin your safari towards Amboseli National Park. You will arrive at the lodge in time for lunch. After lunch, you can enjoy the camp's facilities and activities before embarking on your first afternoon game drive, returning to your lodge or hotel at sunset.

Amboseli National Park is renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters. The park is also an elephant paradise, where large populations of African savanna elephants roam from swamp to swamp, grazing throughout the day. The observation hill provides stunning views of the mountain peak and the park’s plains and swamps. The varied wildlife in the park includes giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, wildebeest, buffalo, and many more.

Accommodation

Spend the night at Kibo Safari Camp, a Mid-range tented camp just outside Amboseli NP.

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Will be Provided

Leave the camp after breakfast, carrying your packed lunch to enjoy in the wild. Spend the whole day exploring the marshlands and swamps of Amboseli, which are fed by subterranean water channels. Water is abundant throughout the year, as is the pasture. Elephants and various other herbivores can be found here. After a long day of exploration in this 392 km² park, you will return to the lodge late in the afternoon.

Alternatively, you can start the day with an early morning game drive to search for animals when they are most active. Then return to the lodge for a relaxed breakfast and lunch.

During the hottest part of the day, take some time to relax in camp. You can read your favorite book, write in your journal about the safari, or listen to your favorite music while observing the birds. Don’t worry; the animals will be resting too! In the afternoon, head out again at 16:00 for another drive through the park. Return to the lodge at sunset for dinner and overnight.

Lake Nakuru is home to flamingos, black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, buffalo, and the endangered Rothschild's giraffe. The southern end of the lake is the best place to observe wildlife.

Following the game drive, you will exit the park and return to the lodge for lunch (you can choose to carry picnic lunch boxes if you prefer). After lunch, you will drive through the Rift Valley floor to the Masai Mara National Reserve. Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed by Maasai warriors who will escort you on a cultural walking safari, including a visit to a Maasai village to learn more about the community that has coexisted with the Mara wildlife for centuries.
