11 Days Kenya Wildlife Safari

The 11 Days Kenya Wildlife Safari opens at Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, brings you face-to-trunk with elephants beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, tracks the Samburu Special Five in Kenya's rugged north, then delivers unforgettable big-cat action across the Masai Mara and exclusive Naboisho Conservancy. Domestic flights keep road time to a minimum.

Between the headline wildlife moments, the days fill with bush walks, optional hot air balloon flights over the Mara, cultural encounters with Samburu and Maasai communities, and candlelit dinners beneath star-filled skies. Every lodge is chosen for its setting, guiding, and sense of place.

For a focused shorter version, the 8 Days Ultimate Kenya Safari hits Samburu and the Mara in eight days. The 10 Days All Female Kenya Safari is an excellent choice for women-only groups.
