5 Nights, 6 Days Kenya Safari Itinerary Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, & Masai Mara

The Detailed, 6 Days Safari in Kenya – Day by Day Activities

Next, let us explore the fun and adventure you can expect on each day of our 6 days in Kenya safari.

Day 1: Pickup from JKIA & Transfer to Amboseli

For this 6 days Kenya safari itinerary group safari, we usually ask that guests book flights that land in the country no later than 2:00 pm so that we can begin the trip to Amboseli on the same day. In any case, your designated tour guide will be there to pick you up when your plane lands.

The safari guide will brief you about the safari and start the road trip to Amboseli. You should arrive at the chosen accommodation by evening.

Those who catch flights that arrive in Nairobi before 10:00 am will get an optional giraffe center visit for $30 per person.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive at Amboseli National Park with Packed Lunch

Scenic, serene, and supremely dreamy; there is, quite simply, nothing like an Amboseli morning game drive. From breakfast into midday, you cruise around what is arguably the most riveting scenery in the world during the 6 days Kenya group safari tour.

We are talking of lush grasslands, savannahs, woodlands, swamps, and, to top it all off, spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. There’s also plenty of wildlife to catch, including large herds of elephants, the Big Five, zebras, dik-dik, hyraxes, cheetahs, giraffes, mongooses, lesser kudu, and over 600 bird species.

Add the magical sunrise to that list, and you’ll see why this game drive is absolutely to die for.  At midday, we find a sheltered spot in the park and sit for a picnic lunch, after which the afternoon game drive begins.

After that, you start the afternoon game drive, the chance to explore the park’s scenery deeper. To rock your world is the Observation Hill, a lookout with a jaw-dropping view of the park and the Swamp right below it, which bustles with hippos, buffaloes, elephants, and birds. Our evening game drive ends at 5:00 p.m.

Day 3: Transfer to Nakuru & Afternoon Game Drive at Lake Nakuru National Park

We check you out of the resort after breakfast and start the 6-7 hours trip to Lake Nakuru National Park. You shall be in Lake Nakuru before 1:00 PM. We check in for lunch and an hour of rest. Later, the safari guide will pick you up for the afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru National park.

Day 4: Morning Game Drive at Nakuru, Transfer to Mara, & Visit a Maasai Village

True luxury during the 6 days Kenya safari itinerary comes in the form of a morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, and here’s why. First, it’s easier to spot wildlife at that time due to low temperatures; second, the golden sunrise; and last but not least, the flamingos.

You ride among the wildlife in your 4×4 open-topped Landcruiser, marveling at the white rhinos, waterbucks, giraffes, zebras, lions, buffaloes, wildebeests, elephants, and hippos dotted around the park.  Walking along the shores of Lake Nakuru is also a very enticing option, especially for the birders, seeing that the lake hosts over 450 bird species.

You embark on your journey to the Mara at 10 am and take lunch at Narok town. You arrive at Mara by 3 pm,  heading to a Maasai village. Here, you get a glimpse into the Maasai’s exciting, sometimes risky, lives. There’s everything to rave about this one, starting from the Manyattas, houses made from mud, sticks, urine, and grass; the colorful beadwork and art; and the catchy Maasai songs and dances.
