As your dedicated luxury traveler advisor, I am thrilled to present a journey that defines the spirit of East Africa. This Highlights of Kenya Safari Vacation Holiday is an expertly curated seven-day odyssey designed for those who seek the extraordinary.
We have hand-picked two of Kenya’s most contrasting yet iconic wildernesses: the rugged, sun-baked plains of Samburu and the world-renowned, lush grasslands of the Maasai Mara.
On this Highlights of Kenya Safari Vacation Holiday, we remove the fatigue of long dusty roads by utilizing private boutique flights, ensuring you spend your time where it matters most—amongst the wildlife.
From the historic charm of Nairobi’s most legendary hotel to the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River and the Mara’s predator-rich savannahs, every moment is an evocative celebration of luxury and nature.
Samburu Game Reserve is known for its unique wildlife, including reticulated giraffes, Grevy’s zebras, Somali ostriches, and gerenuk. You will also have the opportunity to see lions, elephants, and leopards in this beautiful reserve.
Maasai Mara Game Reserve is one of the most famous safari destinations in the world. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and cheetahs. You may even be lucky enough to see the Great Migration, which takes place every year as millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River.
During your safari tour, you will stay in comfortable lodges that offer stunning views of the African wilderness.
You will also enjoy twice-daily game drives with experienced guides who will help you to spot the wildlife.
In addition to game drives, you will also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of other activities, such as bush walks and cultural visits.
