What to Expect
This 10-day small group safari covers Kenya’s four icons: the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and the Mombasa coast, led by a guide who grew up beside these parks. From USD 3,450 per person including park fees.
Embark on a ten-day Kenyan safari, an adventure filled with the rich tapestry of Africa’s landscapes and the captivating diversity of its wildlife. Your journey begins with the vibrant city of Nairobi, where you’re welcomed and then whisked away to the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve. Here, settle into a comfortable camp, your base for exploring the rolling grasslands and acacia trees that symbolize this iconic safari destination.
As the sun rises over the Mara, set out on game drives that promise sightings of the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes. Witness the dramatic scenes of life and survival unfold in the wild, from the majestic giraffe grazing on treetops to the cheetahs sprinting at full speed.
The adventure leads you to Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its flocks of flamingos painting the lake pink and its rich biodiversity, including white rhinos and leopards. Following this, journey to the serene Amboseli National Park, with the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro creating a stunning backdrop against the elephant herds.
Throughout your safari, engage with Maasai communities, learning about their age-old traditions and lifestyles that coexist with the wild. Experience the warmth of Kenyan hospitality in the lodges and camps, where evenings are spent under the stars, sharing stories of the day’s encounters.
The safari concludes with a visit to the coastal city of Mombasa, where you can relax on the white sandy beaches, swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, or explore the historic Old Town, before your journey home begins.
With each day, immerse yourself deeper into the wonders of Kenya, leaving with memories that will last a lifetime.
