This rare 5-day Kenyan safari is the ultimate insider journey, combining three iconic northern wildlife havens into one crowd-free, action-packed itinerary. You will traverse the lush, river-crossed wilderness of Meru National Park to walk with rhinos in total exclusivity, dive into Samburu National Reserve to track the striking "Special Five" desert species, and cap off your adventure at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the world’s last two northern white rhinos and a thriving chimpanzee sanctuary. Perfectly paced with short driving distances between parks, this unique circuit guarantees unmatched Big Five viewing, fewer safari vehicles, and a deeply authentic wildlife encounter that typical tourist routes completely miss.
Our driver guide will come to pick you up at your hotel lobby within Nairobi.
Your safari begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to Meru National Park, known for its unspoiled wilderness and diverse ecosystems. Upon arrival, settle into your lodge and enjoy lunch with views of the pristine surroundings. In the afternoon, set out on a thrilling game drive to explore the park’s savannahs, swamps, and forests. Keep an eye out for elephants, lions, cheetahs, and the rare Grevy’s zebra. End your day with a sumptuous dinner under the stars.
After breakfast, journey north to Samburu National Reserve, a rugged and semi-arid region teeming with unique wildlife. Check in at your lodge and enjoy lunch overlooking the Ewaso Ng’iro River. In the afternoon, embark on a game drive in search of Samburu’s “Special Five” - the reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Grevy’s zebra. Watch elephants wade through the river and predators on the prowl as the sun sets over the reserve.
Spend the entire day discovering Samburu’s wildlife and cultural richness. Enjoy thrilling game drives and encounters with the reserve’s predators and large herds of elephants. Learn about the local people's traditions and enjoy breathtaking views of the Ewaso Ng’iro River.
