This group departure follows Kenya's classic three-park circuit at a budget price. You spend two nights in the Masai Mara, one at Lake Nakuru and two in Amboseli, with a full day of game drives in both the Mara and Amboseli.
Day four is a long drive from Nakuru back through Nairobi and south to Amboseli. Everything else is paced for game viewing rather than transfers. You share a 4x4 and guide with other travellers.
