Amboseli, Nakuru & Maasai Mara 6-Day Budget Camping Safari

Overview

Three parks, six days, one budget-friendly price

For travellers who want a properly comprehensive Kenya safari without a lodge-level budget, this itinerary links Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara on a camping basis, giving genuine time in each park rather than a rushed pass-through.

How the six days work

Days one and two cover Amboseli, with a full day of game drives. Day three is the transfer to Lake Nakuru with an afternoon drive. Days four and five are spent in the Maasai Mara. Day six is a final morning drive before the return to Nairobi.

Good to know

The price shown is a guide per adult sharing a twin tent, full board across five nights, shared washroom facilities at each campsite. This is our most complete budget camping itinerary; ask about a lodge-based version if you would prefer more comfort along the way.

Highlights

  • Three of Kenya's signature parks on one budget-friendly trip
  • Amboseli's elephants and Kilimanjaro views
  • Lake Nakuru's rhino sanctuary
  • A full week of the Mara's open plains and big cats
