Common questions
How much does the 7 Days Masai Mara Naivasha Amboseli cost?
The 7 Days Masai Mara Naivasha Amboseli costs $1,574 per person. That price includes all park and conservancy entry fees, accommodation on the stated board basis, a licensed driver-guide, the 4x4 safari vehicle and fuel, and all game drives listed in the itinerary. International flights, visas, insurance, tips and personal items are not included.
How long is the 7 Days Masai Mara Naivasha Amboseli?
This itinerary runs 7 days, starting and ending in Nairobi. It is a private departure, so the dates are yours to choose and the pace can be adjusted. If you would like more or less time in Kenya Safari, we can rebuild the itinerary around that.
How many people will be in my safari vehicle?
Six at most, and that is a hard cap. Our Land Cruisers seat seven, so there is always a spare seat and every guest has a window and unobstructed access to the pop-up roof hatch. A fully private vehicle is available on any itinerary for a supplement.
When is the best time to do this Kenya Safari trip?
July to October is peak season, with the Mara River crossings and the best trekking weather, and it carries the highest rates. March to May is the long rains: green landscapes, newborn game, very few vehicles and the lowest prices of the year. January to February is dry, hot and excellent for general game viewing. There is no bad month, only months that suit different things.
