Day 1
Nairobi - Amboseli National Park
You will be driven south to Amboseli National Park via Nairobi with en-route game viewing while the immense grandeur of Mount Kilimanjaro is in the background. Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, is one of the most popular of Kenya's national parks. Amboseli National Park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery, it is dwarfed by Mount Kilimanjaro's pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of 5,896 meters. Against this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of elephants, which can be viewed up close, accompanied by lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle, hippo, and wildebeest. There are also over 400 species of birds and all manner of reptilian, flora, and fauna. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 2

For another exciting day in Amboseli National Park, we recommend that you get up early so you can experience excellent game viewing and an unprecedented view of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. Return to your lodge for breakfast. You may opt for an additional game drive after breakfast to visit the swamp with its magnificent wildlife present all day or relax at your lodge and take in the African wilderness. Go on an afternoon game drive in anticipation of seeing the “Big Five”. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

After breakfast, depart Amboseli with an en-route game drive and proceed to Lake Naivasha. Arrive in Lake Naivasha in time for lunch at the lodge. Later, have an afternoon boat excursion on the lake and go to Crescent Island at an extra cost. You will explore the island on foot. The island is home to various bird species and hosts giraffes, zebras, impalas, and waterbucks, among other animals. One lake that should be part of your tourism route in Kenya is that of Naivasha. A great variety of birds and other species of animals are also concentrated here, especially hippos that enjoy its turbulent waters.

Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru National Park
After breakfast, you will depart from Lake Naivasha. Arrive in the flamingo-fringed Lake Nakuru National Park in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive. Lake Nakuru is one of several Rift Valley lakes, and its ecosystem supports a wide ecological diversity, with flamingos (greater and lesser) and other waterbirds being the area's major attractions. The ecosystem provides for about 56 species of mammals, including white rhinos and buffaloes, and a variety of terrestrial birds, numbering nearly 450 species. Apart from the bird species, all of the Big 5 except elephant are here, as well as giraffe, zebra, hippo, waterbuck, and hyena, among others. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the hotel.

Day 5
Lake Nakuru National Park - Masai Mara National Reserve
Have an early breakfast and then drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It is one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch, and then have an afternoon game drive. You will return for dinner and overnight. It is possible to upgrade to more luxurious accommodation (at an extra cost) or downgrade to more economical options (price reduction).

Day 6
Masai Mara National Reserve
Enjoy a full day at this famous reserve searching for wild animals with an option to enjoy a balloon safari at an extra cost. You can carry a picnic lunch or have lunch at the camp. A visit to Maasai villages is also an option. Return to the camp in the evening. The Mara is the land of African legend. Lions are abundant throughout the park, as are elephants, giraffes, and various gazelle species and zebras. Cheetahs and leopards are also regularly seen, and, less commonly, rhinos. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September, during which the big animals and their predators are present in abundance during the timeframe of this trip. Several species of bee-eaters, such as the flying rainbow that heads the list of Mara's birds, occur in the reserve. Along with wildlife, the Masai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai community who may be seen around the borders of the park.

Fast response and seamless organization from the team. Nick was the best guide we could have asked for—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. He made sure we visited all the key places and saw everything we hoped for (and more!). Highly recommended!

Amazing, unforgettable
I strongly recommend the Jorado Safari. Teresa the person who organized our itinerary was very polite, quick response. Our guide Felix was the best and made our trip to Kenya. I did a lot of search before booking the Safari and Jorado had the best price. My boyfriend and I did Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. We enjoyed each minute of our experiencia. My trip of my life Thank you so much Jorado

Every moment of this trip felt magical..
Our 7-day Kenyan Midrange Safari with Jorado Safaris was an incredible journey! Raggen was extremely attentive during the planning process, ensuring every detail matched our preferences. John, our guide, was fantastic—his knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes was unmatched. We explored iconic parks like Amboseli and Maasai Mara, encountering majestic elephants, cheetahs, and even a rare leopard. The midrange accommodations were comfortable and well-situated, offering breathtaking views and delicious meals. Every moment of this trip felt magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.
