Masai Mara - L. Nakuru - Amboseli Classic Budget Safari

Start & end in Nairobi 6 days Up to 50

About this trip

Six days on the road covering three of Kenya's best-known parks, on a budget-friendly safari built for those who want the classics without the frills.

You start at Amboseli, where elephant herds move against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, before heading to Lake Nakuru to see its flamingo-lined shores. The safari finishes in the Masai Mara, with a real shot at spotting the Big Five and the big cats that draw people here.

It's a fully guided group trip, easy-paced and straightforward, with the parks doing the talking.

What you'll do

  • Watch elephant herds at Amboseli with Kilimanjaro in view
  • Spot flamingos and other birdlife at Lake Nakuru
  • Search for the Big Five in the Masai Mara
  • Track big cats on game drives across three parks
  • Travel as part of a small group with a fully guided itinerary
Good to know
  • Budget-style safari, so expect simpler accommodation and transport than higher-end trips
  • Easy pace with a set route through Amboseli, Nakuru and the Mara
  • Suits families and groups wanting classic Kenya wildlife without a long itinerary
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want genuine Big Five sightings and iconic backdrops without luxury pricing. Think twice if unpaved roads and early starts bother you.

  • Consistently saw lions, leopards, elephants, cheetah hunts, flamingos and rhinos across all three parks.
  • Guide Joseph repeatedly praised for knowledge, spotting skills and patience; WhatsApp support from Carol seamless.
  • Bumpy roads with potholes mentioned as normal for a budget safari, but worth flagging for comfort.
  • Food and accommodation genuinely clean and tasty throughout; no hidden costs or corners cut noted.
