Overview
A 16-day Kenya immersion combining bush walks, Big Five game drives, natural swims, and Indian Ocean coast relaxation.
This 16-day odyssey is for travellers who want it all — the thrill of Big Five game drives, the intimacy of guided bush walks, the exhilaration of swimming in natural springs, and the slow, golden peace of sundowner evenings overlooking endless plains. Begin in the lush highlands of Mount Kenya, where you'll walk through bamboo forest alongside elephant trails. Descend to the semi-arid beauty of Samburu for river-edge game drives and camel-back excursions. Cross the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha and Nakuru for flamingos and rhinos. Then sink into the Masai Mara for five immersive days of predator tracking, conservancy walks, and Maasai cultural encounters. Finish on the warm Indian Ocean coast — swimming, snorkelling, and unwinding after two weeks in the bush. This isn't a safari. It's a complete Kenya immersion.
