Embarking on a seven-day safari in Kenya is an adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Each day begins with the golden sunrise over the savannah, as you set out in a sturdy 4x4 vehicle, ready to explore renowned national parks like the Maasai Mara and Amboseli. You’ll witness the Great Migration in the Mara, with wildebeest and zebras thundering across the plains, while elephants roam majestically against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. Evenings are spent around a crackling campfire, sharing stories under a starlit sky. From close encounters with lions and leopards to vibrant cultural interactions with the Maasai people, each moment is a vivid reminder of the wild beauty and rich heritage of Kenya. If you choose to spend your first night in Nairobi, you will be picked up at your hotel to begin your adventure (price adjusted accordingly).  Prices are per person based on double occupancy.

This 7-day road safari, which features both traditional safari lodges and a luxury tented camp experience, contrasts  the Afro-Alpine scenery of the world-famous Aberdare National Park with the starkly arid beauty of the northern  Samburu district. It also showcases the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve and the glory of Lake Nakuru  National Park, home to over one million flamingoes. 

After being collected from Nairobi airport (optional add on is to be picked up at your Nairobi Hotel), you will be driven to the famous Aberdare National Park. Aptly dubbed ‘Scotland with Lions’, this charismatic Afro-Alpine realm showcases the wild beauty of the Aberdare mountain range where elephants roam through lichen hung forests and spectacular waterfalls plunge into churning pools. Arriving in time for lunch at The Aberdares Country Club you will later be transported (with a small overnight bag) into the exclusive sanctuary that surrounds The Ark. A secluded lodge designed to resemble Noah’s Ark, this timbered lodge is unique, not least because of the splendor of the game-watching experience around its private waterhole, which attracts large herds of elephants.
