About This Package
Kenya's best parks in 10 days at exceptional mid-range value — this comprehensive safari visits Samburu in the north, sweeps through the Aberdare highlands, descends to the Rift Valley's Lake Nakuru, crosses to the Masai Mara, overnights at Lake Naivasha and finishes in the elephant paradise of Amboseli. The sequence is deliberately designed so each park reveals something the others cannot: Samburu's unique northern species, Aberdare's forest wildlife at night, Nakuru's rhinos and flamingos, the Mara's predator-rich grasslands, Naivasha's hippo-filled lake and Amboseli's Kilimanjaro panorama. With a dedicated private vehicle and expert guide throughout, you cover enormous ground without ever feeling rushed. Comfortable mid-range lodges and tented camps with ensuite facilities provide a restful base each night. A night game drive in Samburu and a boat safari at Naivasha are included. This 10-day itinerary consistently receives the highest traveller ratings among Kenya safaris of any length, delivering extraordinary wildlife value for money.
