Offered in: English

This 9-day semi-luxury safari combines Kenya’s most celebrated wildlife destinations with comfortable accommodations that offer an excellent balance between authenticity, comfort, and value. Unlike shorter safaris that focus on only one or two parks, this itinerary showcases the incredible diversity of Kenya, from the elephant-rich plains of Amboseli beneath the snow-capped backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro to the scenic waters of Lake Naivasha, the rhino sanctuary of Lake Nakuru, and the wildlife-rich savannahs of the Maasai Mara. The exclusion of a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, opportunities for guided nature walks, and optional cultural experiences with the Maasai community add depth beyond traditional game drives. Guests benefit from extended stays in key wildlife areas, allowing for more immersive wildlife viewing, excellent photography opportunities, and a relaxed pace throughout the journey.
