Overview
This Classic Kenya Safari Package takes you to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo East, some of the top national parks and game reserves in Kenya. The wildlife safari part will take 8 days, after which you will go to the Kenyan coast for an unwinding beach holiday extension.

You will wake up very early, take a cup of coffee, then set out on a morning game drive inside Maasai Mara. The morning game drive offers you a good chance of catching some great wildlife action because the animals are usually more active when the temperatures are cooler.
