Overview
A fully customisable 10-day private Kenya safari spanning Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, and the Masai Mara.
This is not a fixed itinerary — it's a framework designed to bend around your interests, your pace, and your passions. Over ten days, you'll visit Kenya's top destinations with the freedom to extend stays, swap locations, and chase specific wildlife encounters. Want to spend an extra day tracking leopard in Samburu? Done. Prefer to replace Lake Nakuru with a Laikipia conservancy for walking safaris? Your guide will make it happen. The route touches Amboseli (elephants and Kilimanjaro), Lake Nakuru (flamingos and rhino), Lake Naivasha (boat safari), and the Masai Mara (four days of Big Five immersion). But within that framework, every decision is yours. This is private safari travel at its most flexible — a 10-day blank canvas with expert guidance.
