Kenya Safari for 7 days
This 7-day road safari, which features both traditional safari lodges and luxury tented camp experience, contrasts the Afro Alpine scenery of the world-famous Aberdare National Park with the starkly arid beauty of the northern Samburu district.
It also showcases the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve and the glory of Lake Nakuru National Park, home to over one million flamingoes.

Day 1 – The slopes of Mount Kenya
After being collected from your Nairobi hotel (or the airport), you will be driven to the famous Aberdare National Park. Aptly dubbed ‘Scotland with Lions’, this charismatic Afro-Alpine realm showcases the wild beauty of the Aberdare mountain range where elephants roam through lichen hung forests and spectacular waterfalls
plunge into churning pools.
Arriving in time for lunch at the Aberdares Country Club you will later be transported into the exclusive sanctuary that surrounds The Ark. A secluded lodge designed to resemble Noah’s Ark, this timbered lodge is unique, not least because of the splendor of the game-watching experience around its
private waterhole, which attracts large herds of elephants. NB: Kindly note only an overnight bag is allowed at Ark. Rest of the luggage will be locked up at the Aberdare Country Club at no extra cost.
Day 2 of Kenya Safari – North to Samburu
After breakfast, you will be transferred back to The Aberdare Country Club, where you will reconnect with your driver-guide. Drive north to ‘Born Free’ country where Joy and George Adamson raised Elsa the lion cub in the wild and beautiful Shaba National Reserve.
Arrive in time for lunch at the luxurious Sarova Shaba Game Lodge.
Spend the afternoon discovering the unique wildlife of the reserve, which is famous for its elephants, lions, and gerenuks.
Day 3 of Kenya Safari – On Safari in Shaba
Spend all day on safari (breakfast and lunch at the lodge) in the reserve, which offers sanctuary to large herds of elephants, healthy numbers of lions, leopards, cheetahs, plentiful plains game, reticulated giraffes, rare Beisa oryx, kudus, and gerenuks.
Day 4 of Kenya Safari – To Lake Nakuru
After breakfast drive to Lake Nakuru, the most famous of the Great Rift Valley lakes and home to a shifting population of over one million flamingoes.
Arrive in time for lunch at the Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. Spend the afternoon on safari in Kenya’s first and largest rhino sanctuary.
Day 5 of Kenya Safari – To the Masai Mara
After breakfast, drive to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, the backdrop to ‘the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth’, the annual migration of over one million wildebeest.
Arrive in time for lunch at the Sarova Mara Game Camp, a luxury tented camp, before spending the afternoon on safari in Kenya’s most popular reserve.
Day 6 – On safari in the Mara
Spend the whole day on safari in Africa’s richest wildlife viewing arena. Historically teeming with wildlife, the Mara
hosts Kenya’s largest lion pride and elephant herds.
Spend the evening in the camp where Masai dance performances are offered nightly.
Day 7 – Up the Rift Valley to Nairobi
After breakfast drive back down the Great Rift Valley to Nairobi. Alternatively, fly back to Nairobi (at additional cost).
