Ready for your next Safari? Book your 6 Day Kenya Safari with our expert local guides and pair Kenya’s two icons — the elephant plains of Amboseli and the predator-rich Masai Mara — in one perfectly paced week. Get Started →
A 6 Day Kenya Safari focused on Amboseli and the Masai Mara is the ideal “two-park classic”: just enough time to enjoy unhurried game drives at both of Kenya’s most rewarding parks, with views of Mount Kilimanjaro at one end and the legendary big cats of the Mara at the other.
Why Choose a 6 Day Amboseli & Masai Mara Safari?
- Kenya’s two best parks in one trip — Amboseli for elephants & Kilimanjaro, the Mara for big cats
- Big Five potential — elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo (rhino possible in the Mara)
- Two nights at each park — relaxed pacing, more time in the field
- Great Migration river crossings in the Mara (July–October)
