Safari summary
This 8-day fly-in safari explores Kenya’s most iconic wildlife regions, combining conservation areas, northern wilderness, and the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
The journey begins at Ol Pejeta Conservancy on the Laikipia plains, known for black rhino conservation, chimpanzees, and abundant wildlife including elephants, lions, and giraffes. It continues north to Samburu National Reserve, a rugged semi-arid landscape along the Ewaso Nyiro River, home to the unique Samburu Special Five and diverse predators.
A scenic bush flight then takes you to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, where vast savannahs support exceptional wildlife density and frequent sightings of the Big Five, cheetahs, and large herbivore herds.
The safari concludes in the Mara Triangle, a scenic and wildlife-rich section of the reserve offering extended game drives, dramatic landscapes, and optional night safaris. The experience is supported by luxury lodges, expert guides, and immersive game viewing throughout.
