Day 2
Transfer to Amboseli and Game Drives at Amboseli National Park
If you started by 08:00 hours, you would most likely be at Amboseli in time for lunch. Because you're undoubtedly hungry, the guide will check you into your Amboseli National Park accommodation.
He'll leave you to have lunch as you prepare for your first game drive throughout the park. Amboseli National Park is a spectacular park located at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, East Africa's highest peak.
The snow-capped pinnacle of the mountain is always impressive, but Amboseli is most known for its vast herds of elephants.
It is home to over 900 elephants as well as large herds of zebras and antelopes, and encountering them is a definite highlight of your cheap Kenya safari trips.
If you enjoy nature, the park will treat you to wetlands with Sulphur Springs, Lake Amboseli, grassland savanna, and forests.
There will be buffalo, rhinoceros, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and leopards to view. Bring your camera because Amboseli National Park is as picturesque as it gets.
If you enjoy birds, this Kenya safari to Amboseli will provide you with over 600 different kinds.
Day 3
Full-Day Game Drive at Amboseli National Park
Breakfast is served early on the third day of your budget Kenya safari vacation. After that, you'll go on your first-morning game drive in Kenya.
You most likely did not photograph some of the creatures on your afternoon wildlife drive in Amboseli yesterday.
The early game drive is your second chance! You'll probably want to capture these events on film.
Remember to bring your camera with you. The wildlife drives normally last until midday, when you eat in the forest.
The second phase of the game drive will see you covering more ground as you spend the entire day looking for wildlife.
Look for water birds and animals in Lake Amboseli this time of year.
The viewing point also provides a wonderful view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Day 4
Transfer to Lake Nakuru & Afternoon Game Drive at Lake Nakuru National Park
The drive from Amboseli to Lake Nakuru National Park would take about 6-7 hours. So, get up early.
Your first visit will be to the Great Rift Valley, where you may take a few photos.
There is a curio shop near the overlook where you can purchase mementos if you so choose. You will restart your budget safaris to be at Lake Nakuru in time for lunch.
The tour will assist you in checking in and then leave you to eat lunch. The park is one of several locations to visit in Nakuru on a budget.
Your afternoon game drives will reveal that the park is everything but average. It's not just any old lake; it's a pink lake.
However, Lake Nakuru is not pink according to scientific standards.
It received its name (pink lake) from the large number of pink flamingos that flock to it, giving it a pink appearance.
The flamingos may be seen firsthand on your afternoon game drive here. Try to recognize the difference between the two main varieties of flamingos seen at the lake: Greater Flamingos and Lesser Flamingos. Aside from the flamingos, Lake Nakuru is home to approximately 56 different animal species, including four of the big five: lion, leopard, rhino, and buffalo. It also has a Rhino Sanctuary and over 450 bird species.
The national park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, an International Birding Area in 2009, and a RAMSAR Site in 1990. The vegetation contrasts in the area, which ranges from acacia forests to euphorbia forests.
Day 5
Morning Game Drive, Drive to Masai Mara, & Evening Game Drive at Masai Mara
Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Reserve are approximately 340 kilometers apart.
By car, it will take you 5 hours. After a morning game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park from 6 a.m. to 8.30 a.m., you will be transferred to Masai Mara.
You should arrive in time for lunch, following which the safari guide will leave you to recharge and relax before taking you on the evening wildlife drive.
The Masai Mara is just stunning and ideal for a Kenyan budget camping trip.
It is well-known across the world for its diversified animals and strange ambiance.
The Great Wildebeest Migration takes place in the Mara, which is home to the world's greatest land migration.
More than 1.8 million wildebeests migrate over the Serengeti plains, avoiding starvation and predators, and crossing the crocodile-infested Mara River into Kenya during the migration.
Hundreds of thousands of gazelles, zebras, and eland accompany the wildebeests on their perilous trek, making the Great Migration one of the world's most spectacular and mesmerizing spectacles.
The main event of the migration, the crossing of the Mara River, takes place between July 15 and August 15.
You will still have a lot of fun. There is also something for bird aficionados since the Mara is home to over 470 species.
The greatest ostrich population in Africa may be found here, and if you're lucky, you could witness a rare grey-crowned crane in full regalia.
Day 6
Full-Day Game Drive at Masai Mara National Reserve with Picknick Lunch
Day 6 of your Kenya budget safari will begin with breakfast, followed by a drive across the savannahs towards the Masai Mara River.
The Masai Mara is home to the most lions. If you're lucky, you could stumble upon a pride pursuing defenseless gazelles or simply lying magnificently under the trees.
If you enjoy nature documentaries, you may have seen an episode or two of Big Cat Diaries on the BBC.
The show is largely shot in the Masai Mara, a testament to the big cat family's imposing presence, led by the lions.
The leopard and black rhino, both of which are found in the Mara, are the most difficult to see of the Big 5.
Nonetheless, our knowledgeable guides will take you to all known animal hideouts. You have a whole day in the Masai Mara, and we intend to reveal all of its secrets to you.
Along the way, you'll pass the Kenya-Tanzania border, which accounts for one-half of the Mara Triangle.
You may even combine a cheap safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Lunchtime has arrived, and it is time for the packed meal.
If you enjoy bird watching, keep an eye out for several varieties of egrets and herons, as well as unusual species such as hamerkop and white and black stork.
After lunch, it'll be time to head back to the hotel for a few more hours of wildlife viewing.
Day 7
Morning Game Drive, Visit a Maasai Village, and Transfer to Nairobi
The famed Maasai settlement is included in Kenya safari pricing to Masai Mara. Breakfast will be served first, followed by a check-out and a morning game drive.
This trip will go until approximately 10 a.m. when it is best to visit a Maasai hamlet.
You will spend the next one to two hours in the Maasai community before beginning your journey back to Nairobi. Our safari guide will transport you to JKIA for your return journey.
We hope you had a good time in Kenya and hope to see you again soon. Goodbye (Kwaheri).
