Nineteen Days Across Kenya's Great Wildlife Regions

 

This nineteen-day private safari combines eight distinctive wildlife destinations in one extensive journey beginning and ending in Nairobi.

Begin beneath Mount Kilimanjaro with two nights in Amboseli before travelling into the volcanic wilderness of Tsavo West for another two nights.

Continue into the Great Rift Valley for two nights at Lake Naivasha and one night at Lake Nakuru before travelling to Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

The journey then continues to Meru National Park for two nights, giving you an entire day to explore one of Kenya's wonderfully wild and less crowded national parks.

Three nights in Samburu provide two complete days of northern Kenya game viewing before five nights in Maasai Mara create an exceptional finale with four full days in the Mara.

Two nights in Meru are particularly valuable because Day 10 becomes a complete safari day rather than another transfer day, allowing much deeper exploration of Meru National Park.
