This 8-day Kenya luxury safari takes you to several of the most beautiful game parks in the nation, including Samburu, Lake Nakuru, and famous Masai Mara. It includes first-class accomodatons and small-group safari game drives.

Your Kenya safari tour begins in Nairobi, the national capital, where you’ll have the rest of your day after arrival at leisure to see some of the local landmarks or get a quick fix for safari sights at the Daphne Sheldrake Orphanage or Giraffe Manor. Start your Kenya safari from Nairobi by heading north and passing in the shadow of Mount Kenya to Samburu National Reserve, where you’ll spend two days at a beautiful luxury game lodge with great views of the Ewaso Ng’iro River. With Mount Kenya as your exquisite backdrop, you’ll head on game drives to explore the park and have a good chance to see lions, oryx, and giraffes. Animals might even come to the local waterhole as you watch from the terrace of your luxury tent. 

Kenya logoContinue your luxury safari through Kenya and stop for a night in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which is famous for its rhino conservation. You’ll head on a game drive through the park and also have a chance to head out in the evening to track nocturnal animals before returning to your luxury safari camp. Continue to Lake Nakuru National Park, the famous soda lake where pink flamingos wade the waters and feed on the rich algae nourished by the natural saltiness of the lake. You might spot warthogs and baboons before you continue to your 5-star camp on the banks of Lake Elmenteita. 

The final stop on your Kenyan safari is Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the most famous safari game parks in the entire world. Visit a Masai Village before you check into your 5-star safari game lodge, which offers the perfect view into the Great Rift Valley and the breathtaking vistas that define this park. Your Masai Mara safari consists of two days of game drives through the park. Search for the Big Five, enjoy breakfast overlooking hippos bathing in the pool, and spot exotic birdlife in the tree canopy. 

At the end of your safari experience, you’ll connect back to Nairobi for onward travels.
