Overview
The ultimate 18-day Kenya experience — Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Masai Mara, and 4 days on the Indian Ocean coast.
Eighteen days to experience everything Kenya has to offer — and we mean everything. This is our most comprehensive itinerary, designed for travellers who refuse to choose between wildlife and relaxation, adventure and comfort, culture and nature. Begin with highland forests and rhino tracking at Ol Pejeta. Move through Samburu's desert ecosystem for the Special Five. Cross to Lake Nakuru for flamingos and rhinos, then Lake Naivasha for boat safaris and walking safaris on Crescent Island. Spend five full days in the Masai Mara — enough for predator interactions, river crossings, Maasai village visits, and a dawn hot air balloon ride. Finally, fly to the Kenyan coast for four days of Indian Ocean bliss — dhow cruises, snorkelling coral reefs, and barefoot dinners on the sand. This is the definitive Kenya experience.
