6 Days Kenya: Classic Mara & Nakuru Safari

Stunning landscapes, the Big Five and a fabulous train ride await you in an itinerary that will eventually lead you to Kenya’s stunning beaches.

Have you always dreamed of seeing the Big Five and maybe even the Great Wildebeest Migration? Then your dream is about to come true. This 14-day journey has lions, rhinos, elephants, leopards, buffalos, gnus, and zebras lined up in the Masai Mara National Reserve, after which hippos lie in wait in the waters of Lake Naivasha. In Amboseli National Park, elephants cross your way again, but this time with the famous Mount Kilimanjaro as your backdrop. And, as if that is not enough, we take you to Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park before you board the fabulous train that takes you to Mombasa and your final destination- the beautiful beaches of Diani.
