Maasai Mara Classic Safari
The safari everyone pictures when they picture a safari. Big cats, endless plains and two nights inside the reserve.
Amboseli holds the most photographed elephants on the continent, and for good reason — the swamps hold big breeding herds year-round, and on a clear morning Kilimanjaro sits behind them like a painted backdrop. It is a compact park, which makes it perfect for a short trip that still delivers.
Depart Nairobi at 6:30 AM via Emali. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge, then an afternoon game drive through the swamps and up Observation Hill for sunset over the marsh. Dinner and overnight.
Early game drive for the clearest Kilimanjaro views of the trip — the mountain is usually only out before about 9 AM. Breakfast at the lodge, then depart for Nairobi, arriving late afternoon.
