10 Days & 9 Nights Ultimate Kenya Safari: Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo East & West
This ten-day ultimate Kenya safari is a multi-park road adventure through some of the country's most celebrated wildlife areas. It begins with the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru before heading south to Amboseli and the vast Tsavo ecosystem.
The itinerary is designed for travelers who want variety: Mara plains and big cats, Nakuru rhinos and birdlife, Amboseli elephants and Kilimanjaro backdrops, plus Tsavo's red-earth landscapes, lava flows, springs, and wide wilderness feel.
Because it covers long distances, this safari is best for guests comfortable with early departures and road travel. It can end in Nairobi or be adapted to finish at the coast for a beach extension.
The highlights.
- Maasai Mara big-cat and plains game drives
- Amboseli elephants under Kilimanjaro
- Tsavo West volcanic scenery and Mzima Springs
- Tsavo East red-earth wilderness and vast open plains
