Kenya Safari: The Ultimate Wild Adventure
14 Days | Nairobi • Samburu • Maasai Mara • Naboisho Conservancy
Swap city lights for campfire skies on a two-week odyssey through Kenya’s most celebrated landscapes. Your journey opens in Nairobi with two feel-good icons: a close-up Giraffe Centre encounter and the heart-melting Sheldrick Wildlife Trust public visit—where baby elephants steal the show.
Fly north to Samburu National Reserve for four nights along the Ewaso Nyiro River. This is the realm of the Samburu Special Five—Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx—plus thriving elephant herds and big-cat drama on open, sun-baked plains. Evenings bring flaming sunsets, star-laden skies, and that delicious hush of true wilderness.
Next, sweep southwest to the legendary Maasai Mara for four nights among Africa’s most famous predators. Whether you’re here for the Great Wildebeest Migration (typically July–September) or outside those months, the Mara delivers year-round with lions on patrol, cheetahs scanning the grasslands, and hippos wallowing in the Mara River.
Then slip into the adjoining Naboisho Conservancy for three unhurried nights at an intimate tented camp. With limited vehicle numbers, off-road access, night drives, and guided bush walks, Naboisho gives you privacy, flexibility, and front-row wildlife moments—while your stay directly supports Maasai landowners and conservation.
Throughout, an Absolute Vantage host looks after you in Nairobi, and expert camp guides lead every game drive. Camps are mostly unfenced, so after dark a friendly escort walks you to your tent—because lions don’t keep curfew. Travel between regions blends comfort and adventure via 4×4 safari vehicles and scheduled light aircraft.
