Ten-Day Kenya Safari

A Slower Journey Through Kenya's Classic Safari Country

 

This ten-day private safari from Nairobi combines four of Kenya's most rewarding destinations while deliberately allowing additional time at Lake Naivasha and in the Maasai Mara.

Begin with two nights in Amboseli National Park, where elephants roam beneath Mount Kilimanjaro and permanent wetlands support remarkable concentrations of wildlife.

A full day in Amboseli allows you to explore the ecosystem rather than simply passing through it.

Continue into the Great Rift Valley for two nights at Lake Naivasha. The additional night creates a more relaxed middle section to the safari and gives you time for optional activities around the lake.

Depending on your interests, Lake Naivasha activities can include a boat safari, birdwatching and other nature experiences available in the area.

From Naivasha, continue to Lake Nakuru National Park for wildlife viewing in one of Kenya's important rhino conservation areas.

The final four nights are spent in the Maasai Mara, providing three complete days for extensive game viewing across one of Africa's greatest wildlife ecosystems.

Two nights at Lake Naivasha and four nights in the Maasai Mara give this ten-day itinerary a deliberately relaxed rhythm, balancing major wildlife encounters with time to appreciate Kenya's Great Rift Valley landscapes.
