7 Nights / 8 Days Kenya Adventure Safari Package from India
MID_RANGE# **8 Days Kenya Safari Package from India** ### Amboseli • Lake Naivasha • Lake Nakuru • Masai Mara Experience Kenya privately on an 8-day safari combining Amboseli's elephants, the Great Rift Valley and **three nights in the Masai Mara**. Travel in your own private 4x4 safari vehicle with a professional local guide and the support of our Nairobi-based safari team. **2 Nights Amboseli • 1 Night Naivasha • 1 Night Nakuru • 3 Nights Masai Mara** ## From US$1,950 Per Person Sharing ### [CHECK PRICE FOR MY DATES](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/contact-us) [**WhatsApp Our Nairobi Safari Team**](https://wa.me/254720357597) *Vegetarian, Jain and Indian-style meal requirements can be coordinated in advance.* # **Why This Safari Works** This itinerary is designed to give you variety **without turning your Kenya holiday into a race between national parks**. [Amboseli](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/destinations/kenya/amboseli-national-park) begins the safari with large elephant herds, open landscapes and views of Mount Kilimanjaro when conditions are clear. [Lake Naivasha ](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/destinations/kenya/lake-naivasha-safari-experience--wildlife-boat-rides--nature-trails)provides a relaxing change of pace in the Great Rift Valley before Lake Nakuru introduces another ecosystem and one of the itinerary's strongest opportunities to search for rhinos. Then comes the Masai Mara. Instead of squeezing Kenya's most famous wildlife destination into a short visit, you stay for **three nights**, giving you two full days for game drives. For a first safari in Kenya, it is a carefully balanced combination of wildlife, landscapes and time. --- # **Why 3 Nights in the Masai Mara?** Wildlife doesn't follow an itinerary. A lion pride may sleep through much of one morning and become active later. A leopard can disappear into vegetation. Cheetahs may rest for hours before suddenly beginning to hunt. **Time matters on safari.** Three nights give you two full days in the Masai Mara, allowing your guide greater flexibility to work with wildlife activity and conditions rather than trying to fit the Mara into one rushed day. For first-time visitors, big-cat enthusiasts and wildlife photographers, those additional game-drive opportunities can make a real difference. --- # Your Private Kenya Safari ### Your Own 4x4 Your safari vehicle is reserved for your party. You won't be sharing your game drives with strangers. ### Your Own Professional Guide Travel with a local safari guide who can interpret animal behaviour, understand the landscape and plan around conditions on the day. ### More Flexible Game Drives If something interesting is happening, you have more freedom to stay and observe rather than following a large group's fixed timetable. ### Local Support WildPortraits Safaris is based in Nairobi. The team planning your journey is also here in Kenya while you're travelling. --- # **Check the Price for Your Travel Dates** ## Safari From US$1,950 Per Person Sharing **Your final safari price depends on travel dates, number of travellers, accommodation availability and room configuration.** Send us a few details and we'll prepare an accurate quotation for your trip. **Travel Month / Dates** **Number of Adults** **Number & Ages of Children** **WhatsApp Number or Email** ### [GET EXACT PRICE FOR MY DATES](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/contact-us) [*No obligation.

[Elewana Sand river camp](https://www.elewanacollection.com/sand-river-masai-mara/at-a-glance) ## **Can you arrange vegetarian, Jain or Indian-style meals?** Yes, these requirements can be requested in advance. Strict Jain or specific Indian-style meal requirements should be provided before booking so they can be checked with the proposed properties. ## **Will we see the Big Five?** The itinerary travels through excellent Big Five habitat, particularly Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. However, wildlife lives freely in natural ecosystems and individual sightings can never responsibly be guaranteed. ## **Will we see the Great Migration?** Migration activity is seasonal and influenced by rainfall and natural wildlife movements. Large herds may be present within the greater Mara ecosystem during the migration season, but specific herd locations and river crossings cannot be guaranteed **Ready to Experience Kenya?** Tell us when you're travelling and who's coming.

5-Day Kenya Green Season Safari from India | Private 4×4
MID_RANGE# **5-Day Kenya Green Season Safari from India | Private 4×4** Experience Kenya during one of its quietest and most photogenic periods on this **5-day private Kenya green season safari from India**. The journey combines the rhino habitat of Lake Nakuru National Park with two nights in the Masai Mara, giving families and couples a balanced introduction to Kenya’s landscapes and wildlife. The safari begins with an arrival night in Nairobi, allowing you to rest after your international journey before travelling into the Great Rift Valley. From Nairobi, you will visit Lake Nakuru and continue to the Masai Mara in a private customised 4×4 safari vehicle accompanied by an experienced local guide. ## **Why travel during Kenya’s green season?** April and May bring seasonal rain that turns Kenya’s grasslands and woodlands green. The conditions create dramatic skies, softer light and colourful backgrounds for wildlife photography. Rain does not usually mean that every day is lost to bad weather. Showers may be followed by long clear periods, although road conditions and the timing of game drives can change. Your guide will monitor local conditions and select suitable routes each day. **The green season can offer:** - Fewer safari vehicles than the peak migration months - Attractive seasonal accommodation rates - Green landscapes and dramatic photography - Good year-round resident wildlife - Greater flexibility at popular sightings - A quieter atmosphere at lodges and camps This itinerary is not centred on the Great Migration. Instead, it focuses on Kenya’s resident wildlife, including rhinos in Lake Nakuru and lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, giraffes and other animals in the Masai Mara. ## **Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara wildlife** [Lake Nakuru National Park](https://kws.go.ke/park/lake-nakuru-national-park/) is one of Kenya’s most important rhino habitats. Both black and white rhinos may be seen, alongside Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, waterbucks, baboons and numerous bird species. Lions and leopards are also present, although sightings can never be guaranteed. [The Masai Mara](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/destinations/masai-mara-kenya-safari) supports wildlife throughout the year. Your guide will look for lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, hyenas and large numbers of plains animals. Leopards are more elusive, but patient tracking and local knowledge can improve the chances of finding one. The route therefore offers opportunities to look for all members of the Big Five, but no responsible safari operator can guarantee every species. ## **A genuinely private safari** Your guide and vehicle are reserved exclusively for your booking. You will not share game drives with unrelated travellers. This allows the daily schedule to be adjusted around: - Children’s comfort and meal times - Wildlife activity - Photography interests - Weather and road conditions - Longer stops at significant sightings - Rest periods at the lodge During the rainy season, your guide will check road conditions and recent wildlife movements before selecting a game-drive route. This local decision-making is especially important when some tracks become difficult to use. ## **Planning the safari from India** The package begins and ends in Nairobi. International airfare from India is not included unless specifically added to your quotation. Vegetarian, Jain and Indian-style meals can be coordinated with the selected hotels, lodges and camps when requested in advance. Availability varies between properties, so all dietary requirements should be provided before the booking is confirmed. Families should also provide the children’s ages when requesting a quotation because child accommodation and park-fee policies vary. # **Frequently asked questions** ### **Is five days enough for this Kenya safari?** Five days is enough to combine Nairobi, Lake Nakuru and two nights in the Masai Mara. The itinerary includes an afternoon game drive in Lake Nakuru, an afternoon game drive in Masai Mara and one full day in the Mara. ### **Is April or May suitable for a Kenya safari?** Yes. Wildlife remains in the parks throughout the year. [April and May offer green scenery](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/blog/best-time-for-indians-to-travel-to-kenya), fewer visitors and seasonal rates, although rain can affect road conditions and game-drive schedules. ### Will we see the Big Five? The route provides opportunities to look for all members of the Big Five. Lake Nakuru is particularly important for rhinos, while the Masai Mara provides strong lion and general wildlife viewing. Sightings cannot be guaranteed. ### **Can vegetarian, Jain or Indian meals be provided?** These meals can be requested and coordinated with the accommodation providers. Dietary requirements must be shared before confirming the booking because menus and preparation facilities vary. ### **Is this a private safari?** Yes. Your safari vehicle and guide are reserved exclusively for your family, couple or travelling party. ### Are flights from India included? International flights are excluded unless they are specifically included in your customised quotation. ## ### **Plan Your Private Kenya Green Season Safari** Travel through Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with your own safari guide, private 4×4 vehicle and a schedule adapted to your interests. [Contact WildPortraits Safaris](https://wildportraitsafaris.com/contact-us) for available dates, family-room options, couple-friendly camps and a personalised quotation for your journey from India. #
