Twelve days, seven of Kenya's finest wildlife destinations, and an unparalleled journey through the full spectrum of East African ecosystems — this is the ultimate Kenya safari for the serious naturalist and luxury traveller alike. Beginning in Samburu, you spend three days exploring the northern arid frontier where specialist species like Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk make their home beside the Ewaso Ng'iro River. Meru National Park is next — rarely visited and extraordinarily rewarding, a vast wilderness of rivers, thickets and open plains where rhino, elephant, lion and leopard roam in relative seclusion. The Aberdare highlands offer a dramatic change: misty cedar forests, dramatic waterfalls and nocturnal wildlife at floodlit waterholes. Lake Nakuru's compact interior packs an extraordinary concentration of wildlife into a small area. After the spectacle of Naivasha's hippo-rich waters at golden hour, you descend to Amboseli — the elephant capital of Africa — for two days of Kilimanjaro magic. The safari culminates in the Masai Mara: two extraordinary days in Africa's most iconic wildlife arena. This is the most complete Kenya safari experience available at any price.
