8 Days
The eight-day version of Wild Whispers Africa’s Kenya circuit is the one that gives the Masai Mara three nights rather than two, and uses the extra day for a game drive built around the Mara River and its wildebeest crossings.
It opens in Amboseli for two nights, breaks the journey north at Lake Naivasha with a boat trip and Crescent Island, then takes in Lake Nakuru before crossing to the Mara. A balloon flight is offered on the extra Mara day at additional cost, and the operator includes a visit to a school supported by tourism revenue. The trip closes with Bomas of Kenya and the Karen Blixen Museum.
Overview
Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, then three full nights in the Masai Mara with a day built around the Mara River crossings.
- Where you go: Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park, Maasai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi
