A stunning trip combining incredible wildlife, beaches and some of Kenya’s best safari camps.
Your trip will start with a quick stay in Nairobi before heading to Amboseli National Park for two nights at a luxury lodge, hoping to witness majestic elephant herds with Mount Kilimanjaro as a stunning backdrop. Next, travel to the Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary on the shores of glistening Lake Naivasha and spend 2 nights exploring this prized wilderness destination with birdwatching, bushwalks, boating trips among hippos, and a visit to the Oserian Flower Farm, one of the world’s largest producers of cut flowers. Your journey continues to Samburu National Park, where you can spot lions, leopards, elephants, and the rare Grevy’s zebra. Then, spend three nights in the Maasai Mara at one of the park’s top lodges, enjoying game drives and cultural experiences with the local Maasai community. Finally, relax and unwind for a few nights on the Kenyan coast, swimming in the clear waters, exploring seaside villages, and soaking up the sun before flying home.
Trip Highlights
Game drives and bush walks at Ol Lentille in Laikipia, with opportunities to spot elephants, lions and rare wildlife against Mount Kenya.
Morning and afternoon game drives in Samburu National Park, encountering unique species such as Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and gerenuk.
Thrilling game drives at Mara Nyika Camp in the Maasai Mara, spotting the Big Five and experiencing Maasai culture.
Relax on Kenya’s coastline at Sirai Beach House, enjoying swimming, sunbathing and exploring local seaside villages.
When to go
This itinerary can be done year-round, as Kenya’s wildlife areas and coast are generally accessible in all seasons. However, the dry months from June to October offer the best game viewing, while the wet season (April–May) brings lush landscapes but can make some roads and tracks more challenging.

I just returned from Kenya on safari and it was off the charts. Simon was helpful as ever at getting the trip scoped out, nailed it down and finalised. The camps were all of high quality and the logistics impeccably managed.
