Overview

What sets the 10-Day Northern & Southern Kenya Savannah Private Safari apart is its diverse and well-balanced itinerary, combining the rich wildlife of southern Kenya (like the elephants of Amboseli and big cats of Maasai Mara) with the unique and lesser-visited northern reserves like Samburu and Ol Pejeta. This contrast gives you a chance to see both the Big Five and northern Kenya’s rare species like Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and the gerenuk. The tour also features private transportation, personalized guiding, and scenic accommodations in locations that allow for immersive, up-close wildlife encounters—making it ideal for travelers seeking both iconic experiences and off-the-beaten-path discoveries.
