Amboseli National Park & Masai Mara Flight Safari – 5 Days, 4 Nights

5 DAYS

Overview

The Masai Mara & Amboseli Flight safari spends 2 nights in each destination where we marvel at the great scenery as we search for the Big Five.

This safari takes you first to Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro famous for its big game and great scenic beauty. After a 2 night stay at Amboseli Serena Lodge you will then proceed via Nairobi to the rolling plains, woodlands and rivers that make up the Maasai Mara Game Reserve – one of the world’s richest wildlife sanctuaries. Accommodation will be at a Lodge or Camp.

Feel free to browse on your favorite safari accommodation of choice, be it Comfort, Comfort-Plus or Luxury. We know Kenya’s best hotels, safari camps and lodges because we have personally tried and tested them. You can count on independent, expert accommodation advice based on your budget when you book a safari through us.

 

A great mix of Evacay Africa’s best game-viewing destinations are carefully curated in a specially-adapted 6 seater Landcruiser (4×4) with pop-up roofs so that our guests can stand up when viewing wildlife and can take photographs.

 

A Higher-priced option, instead of the 4×4 Safari Mini Van, is to go on a road safari in a 4X4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof. These take 6 passengers in 3 rows so each has a window seat

The quintessential Masai Mara safari is a photographer’s and naturalist’s paradise, with abundant elephant, buffalo, giraffe, black-maned lion and cheetah alongside the migratory wildebeest and zebra. Leopards are frequently encountered, endangered black rhino hide in the dense thickets and large rafts of hippo and enormous crocodiles are found in the Mara River. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. The park is also home to over 470 bird species. Among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, marabou storks, secretary birds, hornbills, crowned cranes, ostriches, long-crested eagles, African pygmy-falcons and the lilac-breasted roller.
