7 Days Amboseli & Masai Mara with Rift Valley Lakes Safari Package

Your safari begins in Nairobi where our friendly Jossec Safaris team greets you and gives a trip briefing. Drive south across open savannah to Amboseli, famous for its elephant families and Kilimanjaro views. After lunch at the lodge and a short rest, head out for a sunset game drive to spot elephants, lions, buffalo, cheetahs, and abundant birdlife before returning for dinner.

Begin with a sunrise game drive, the best time to see predators and grazing herds against the dramatic backdrop of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Return for breakfast and leisure time, then set out again in the afternoon for another exciting game drive through the park’s marshes, acacia woodlands, and open plains.
