This 9 Day Kenya Safari is a short duration fly-in safari focusing on three of the top Kenya safari parks – Samburu National Reserve, Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park. Travel by air and see scenic landscapes as you save precious time between safari locations and enjoy some added special experiences.
The safari will take you to the remote and arid northern region of Samburu where you can see desert adapted species such as the Gerenuk and the Reticulated Giraffe before being whisked away to the teeming savannahs of the Masai Mara, home to one of the greatest shows on Earth – the great Migration.
Then travel to Amboseli on your luxury Kenya safari and see Elephants against the snow capped Mount Kilimanjaro. The reserve is one of the best places in Kenya to see the highly endangered Black Rhino and is also renowned for its Big Tuskers.
