Nairobi Start/End
Discover Kenya’s finest wilderness areas on this well-crafted 14-day safari from Nairobi.
The journey opens in Tsavo East and Tsavo West, where vast plains, the Galana River, and rocky terrain support healthy populations of elephants, lions, and rhinos.
From there, Amboseli offers game viewing against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, before Sweetwaters Conservancy provides a more intimate experience, including rescued chimpanzees and endangered rhino. A boat safari on Lake Naivasha brings hippo and birdlife encounters, setting the stage for a grand finale in the Masai Mara, where the Great Migration, in season, draws wildebeest, zebra, and the predators that follow them across the golden grasslands.
