The main parks
Maasai Mara for predators and the migration, Amboseli for elephants and mountain views, Lake Nakuru for rhino and birdlife, and Samburu for northern species.
Getting around
Most itineraries drive from Nairobi, though light aircraft flights save time on longer routes.
Suggested durations
Five days covers the Mara plus one other park comfortably; seven days allows three parks at a relaxed pace.
