5-Day Amboseli and Maasai Mara Classic Safari

This 5-day Amboseli and Maasai Mara safari by Alaskan World Adventures is the definitive Kenyan wildlife experience, combining two of Africa's most iconic parks into one seamless journey. It begins beneath the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and ends on the open plains of the Maasai Mara, with five days of game drives, big skies, and wildlife encounters that stay with you long after the dust settles.

Amboseli National Park sits at the foot of Kilimanjaro on the Kenya-Tanzania border, and it delivers a safari experience unlike anywhere else on the continent. The park is famous for its large elephant herds, which move freely across open plains with Africa's highest peak rising behind them. It is also home to lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and a rich variety of birdlife spread across diverse landscapes of open savannah, swamps, and acacia woodland. The morning light in Amboseli, when Kilimanjaro emerges above the clouds and the elephants begin to move, is the kind of scene that makes you understand why people travel this far.

From Amboseli, the safari road leads northwest through the dramatic escarpments of the Great Rift Valley and into the Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the most celebrated wildlife destinations on earth. The Mara needs little introduction. The Big Five roam here in extraordinary numbers. The Mara River cuts through the reserve, drawing predators and prey in equal measure. Between July and October, the Great Wildebeest Migration brings over 1.5 million animals surging across the landscape in one of nature's most spectacular events. And even outside migration season, the Mara delivers game drive after game drive of lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhino against a backdrop of endless golden savannah.

This is a mid-range safari, which means comfortable lodge and tented camp accommodation, experienced guides, and full-board meals that keep you energised across five full days in the wild. Starting and ending in Nairobi, it is designed for the traveler who wants the best of Kenya without compromise.
