Description

This Kenyan safari will have your trace a route from Nairobi, up to the northern part of the country, before tracking back down Kenya and towards the iconic Masai Mara. As you traverse the landscape you will take in the Great African Rift Valley, with volcanic lakes, fertile grasslands, and parks filled with some of the most stunning wildlife on the planet.

Your week adventuring across Kenya on safari will give you chance to see the big five of African wildlife:

  • Lions
  • Elephants
  • Buffalo
  • Rhinos
  • Leopards

Along with many more creatures that encapsulate your dreams of African wildlife.

Your tour with us is private, and your dedicated Kenyan safari guide will work only with you and your group throughout the safari. Since this is your own personal tour, you can choose options such as domestic flights between parks to reduce travel times, although this will attract additional fees. Your can request to complete the itinerary in reverse and you can substitute your visit to Aberdares with a trip to Ol Pejeta Conservancy instead.

Once we’ve picked you up from the airport, your hotel, or residence, we will track north through Kenya to being your adventure across this landscape. The picturesque countryside will be a lovely introduction to the country, as you watch everyday life played out in the towns and villages that line the roads.

  • Overnight stay inside Samburu National Reserve
  • Lunch and dinner, no breakfast
  • Drinking water, other drinks are extra

Every itinerary can be crafted to your needs, from adjusting the length of your stay to including different accommodation and refining the route. Your safari is yours, shaped around your idea of a dream experience.
