This 8-days Kenya safari takes you from the arid landscapes of Northern Kenya to the iconic savannah of the Masai Mara. Start in Samburu National Reserve to spot the “Samburu Special Five”: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx. Continue to *Ol Pejeta Conservancy*, home to East Africa’s largest black rhino sanctuary and a chimpanzee sanctuary, with views of Mount Kenya. Next, visit Lake Nakuru National Park for flamingos, white rhinos, and Rothschild’s giraffe. End with *2 full days of game drives in the Masai Mara National Reserve*, where you’ll have high chances of seeing lions, cheetah, leopards, elephants, and the Big 5. 4 distinct ecosystems in one trip - Arid scrub, conservancy, lake, and open plains. Best time to visit, June to October for dry season wildlife viewing, and January to February for clear skies and fewer crowds.
This route can be adjusted by lodge level, season, travel pace and whether you prefer private guiding, fly-in safari segments or a road safari experience.
