7 Days & 6 Nights Ultimate Kenya Adventure: Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Nanyuki, and Samburu
This seven-day Kenya adventure pairs the famous Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru with the Mount Kenya foothills around Nanyuki and the drier northern landscapes of Samburu. It is a strong choice for travelers who want both classic safari and a different northern Kenya feel.
The route begins with Maasai Mara's wide plains and predator country, then moves to Lake Nakuru for rhinos and birdlife. Nanyuki adds equator-country scenery, Mount Kenya views, and optional conservancy-style experiences before the journey continues to Samburu.
Samburu offers distinctive wildlife and landscapes, including species associated with northern Kenya such as Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx, depending on sightings.
The highlights.
- Maasai Mara big-game drives in open savannah
- Lake Nakuru rhino and birdlife viewing
- Mount Kenya country and equator-crossing at Nanyuki
