Magical Kenya by road: 15-Day Accessible Safari

15 days · By road and air · Amboseli, Samburu, Ol Pejeta, the Rift Valley lakes, the Mara

Kenya · the classic road safari

Kenya’s greatest parks at an unhurried pace, with the same driver-guide on every drive. From the elephant families of Amboseli to the special five of Samburu, the last northern white rhinos, the flamingo lakes of the Rift and three full days in the Mara.

The signature moment: A picnic under a lone acacia on the Mara plains, with lions dozing in the grass nearby.
