Samburu, Aberdare, Ol Pejeta, Nakuru & Maasai Mara 9-Day Luxury Safari

Overview

The complete circuit

This is our fullest Kenya itinerary, adding Ol Pejeta Conservancy — a private sanctuary well known for both black and white rhino, including some of the last northern white rhino in the world under close protection — to the Samburu–Aberdare–Nakuru–Mara route.

How the nine days work

Days one and two cover Samburu. Day three is the transfer to Aberdare, with a night at a forest lodge overlooking a waterhole. Day four continues to Ol Pejeta Conservancy for an afternoon and evening of game drives focused on rhino tracking. Day five is the transfer to Lake Nakuru. Day six continues to the Maasai Mara. Days seven and eight are spent in the reserve. Day nine is a final morning drive before the return to Nairobi.

Good to know

The price shown is a guide per adult sharing a twin room, full board across eight nights at luxury lodges. Given the length and driving involved, flying one or more legs can be arranged and quoted separately.

Highlights

  • Our most complete northern-and-southern Kenya circuit
  • Samburu's dry-country specialities
