One Grand Journey Across Kenya

 

This 15-day private safari and beach holiday is designed for travellers who want to experience an exceptional cross-section of Kenya in a single journey.

Begin in Samburu's distinctive northern wilderness before continuing to Ol Pejeta Conservancy and the highlands of Laikipia. From there, travel into the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru.

Your journey then reaches the legendary Masai Mara before turning south toward Amboseli, where elephants and the landscapes beneath Mount Kilimanjaro create another completely different safari environment.

Rather than returning to Nairobi after Amboseli, continue toward Kenya's coast and complete your grand safari with three nights beside the Indian Ocean at Diani Beach.

Northern wilderness. Conservation country. Rift Valley lakes. Masai Mara. Kilimanjaro. Indian Ocean. This is Kenya from north to south.
Your Grand Kenya Journey

15-Day Safari & Beach Itinerary

 

A comprehensive private journey through six distinctive wildlife destinations followed by a relaxing stay on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.

Day 01

Nairobi → Samburu

Meet your professional driver-guide in Nairobi and depart north in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser toward the Samburu ecosystem.

Travel through central Kenya and watch the landscapes change as you move toward the drier and more dramatic environment of northern Kenya.

Arrive at your selected lodge or tented camp and, depending on timing, enjoy your first wildlife experience.

Full-Day Samburu Safari

Spend the day exploring the Samburu ecosystem in your private Safari Land Cruiser.

Search for elephants, lions, leopards and northern Kenya species including Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich.

The semi-arid landscapes and riverine habitats make Samburu a striking introduction to the extraordinary geographical diversity of Kenya.

Overnight: Samburu · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 03

Samburu → Ol Pejeta Conservancy

After breakfast, leave Samburu and travel south toward Laikipia and Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

Lake Nakuru → Masai Mara

Full-Day Masai Mara Safari

Spend the entire day exploring the Masai Mara with your private driver-guide.

Search for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes and the remarkable variety of wildlife associated with the greater Mara ecosystem.

Overnight: Masai Mara · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 08

Masai Mara → Nairobi

After breakfast, leave the Masai Mara and travel back toward Nairobi.

Built Around You

Your Grand Kenya Safari Can Be Completely Customised

This 15-day programme is a premium example itinerary rather than a fixed package. We can redesign every part of the journey around your interests, travel dates and preferred pace.

Add another night in Samburu, Ol Pejeta, the Masai Mara or Amboseli. Extend your Diani Beach holiday, remove a destination or add another Kenya safari region.

We can also change the balance between road, rail and air travel. Some travellers enjoy a predominantly overland journey, while others prefer domestic flights for selected longer sections.

Accommodation can be tailored from carefully selected mid-range lodges to luxury safari camps and premium Indian Ocean resorts.

This is your journey. Tell us the wildlife, destinations, accommodation style, pace and beach experience you prefer, and we will build the itinerary around you.
