Overview
A once-in-a-lifetime 10-day private Kenya safari through Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara.
Some journeys redefine how you see the world — this is one of them. Over ten extraordinary days, you'll traverse Kenya's most iconic landscapes with a private guide who knows every watering hole, every hidden kopje, and every pride territory. Begin at Ol Pejeta, where the world's last northern white rhinos are protected round the clock. Move north to Samburu's ochre landscapes for the legendary Special Five. Descend to the Great Rift Valley for a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, walking amongst giraffe and zebra on Crescent Island. Then immerse yourself in the Masai Mara for four game-drive-rich days during which lion prides hunt, cheetahs stalk, and leopards recline in sausage trees overhead. Every lodge has been handpicked for location, intimacy, and service — because this isn't just a safari, it's a transformation.
