15 days Kenya: ten parks in one safari

As you step out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our Africa Safari Trips team or a hotel driver greets you with a big smile: 'Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!' He brings you straight to your hotel to relax and, along the way, you get your first impressions of vibrant Nairobi. The next day, your guide takes you on an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. Let the adventure begin!

Accommodations:

• Silver Argyle Grand Hotel
• Gold Tamarind Tree Hotel
• Platinum Emara Ole Sereni

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Sweetwaters Serena Camp
• Gold Sweetwaters Serena Camp
• Platinum Sweetwaters Serena Camp - Morani Wing

For the next two days, your safari adventure continues in northern Kenya. Depending on your chosen accommodation, you’ll either explore Samburu National Reserve (Elephant Bedroom Camp or Samburu Sopa Lodge) or Buffalo Springs National Reserve (Ashnil Surana Buffalo Springs). Both reserves lie within the same ecosystem and offer abundant wildlife and sweeping savannah views.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Samburu Sopa Lodge
• Gold Ashnil Surana Buffalo Springs
• Platinum Elephant Bedroom Camp

The drive from Samburu to Solio Ranch Conservancy takes just over 3 hours and passes through shifting scenery, from Samburu’s dry, rugged land into the greener highlands of Central Kenya. On arrival, you have lunch at your lodge if staying outside the conservancy, giving you time to settle in before an afternoon game drive. If you prefer a longer game drive, you can request a packed lunch in advance through your travel consultant.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Rhino Watch Safari Lodge
• Gold Rhino Watch Safari Lodge
• Platinum Rhino Watch Safari Lodge - Senator Tent

A 3-hour descent through Rift Valley farmlands leads to the alkaline shores of Lake Nakuru, where the water shimmers pink on good days and rhinos graze along the lakeshore. It's a transfer that does nothing to temper expectations and everything to exceed them.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge
• Gold Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge
• Platinum The Cliff Nakuru

Lovers of road trips get their money’s worth today, as you drive to what might be the most famous safari destination in the world. If you decide to sleep at the Zebra Plains Safari Camp today (our silver accommodation), you will end the day on a high note with a walking safari. If you opt for our gold or platinum accommodation, however, you skip the walking safari but sleep right in the heart of the Masai Mara. 

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Zebra Plains Mara Camp
• Gold Serenity Mara Legends Camp
• Platinum Ilkeliani Mara Camp

This 5-hour drive northeast from the Mara climbs out of the savanna into the cooler highlands, passing through Narok town and flower farms before the glittering surface of Lake Naivasha comes into view. The transition from open plains to a papyrus-fringed freshwater lake is a quietly beautiful one, with hippos and fish eagles welcoming your arrival.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge
• Gold Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge
• Platinum Enashipai Resort and Spa

For no less than two days, you explore magical Amboseli National Park. Fantastic views on Mount Kilimanjaro await you, with animals grazing in front of it. And if you stay at the Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp, you can admire amazing savannah views at sunset - sundowner in hand and all!

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Tulia Amboseli Safari Camp
• Gold Ol Tukai Lodge Amboseli
• Platinum Elerai Camp

Departing Amboseli with Kilimanjaro fading in the rearview mirror, this 3.5-hour drive northwest cuts through open Maasai plains and dry acacia scrubland before the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Tsavo West begin to take shape on the horizon. It's a seamless transition between two of Kenya's most iconic parks, the road itself feeling like a natural bridge between elephant country and the rugged, lava-sculpted wilderness that lies ahead.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Severin Safari Camp
• Gold Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge
• Platinum Severin Safari Camp - Junior Suite

Just 3 hours separate Tsavo West's volcanic wilderness from the quietly spectacular Taita Hills, as the road climbs gently into a landscape of ancient forests and sweeping savanna views. The Taita and LUMO Conservancy feels like a well-kept secret: wilder and less visited than its famous neighbours, with big game and remarkable birdlife rewarding those who choose to visit.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Salt Lick Safari Lodge
• Gold Salt Lick Safari Lodge
• Platinum Soroi Cheetah Tented Camp - Lumo Conservancy Tsavo

The drive from Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and LUMO Community Wildlife Conservancy to Tsavo East National Park takes a little under 3 hours. The route moves from the cooler, greener hills into open plains, where the land gradually flattens and acacia trees start to dominate the horizon. By the time you enter Tsavo East, the landscape feels wider and drier, with classic savanna scenery and the first signs of its large wildlife herds.

Activities:

Accommodations:

• Silver Ashnil Aruba Lodge
• Gold Ashnil Aruba Lodge
• Platinum Satao Tented Camp

In 7 hours, you travel northwest from Tsavo East National Park along the old Mombasa Road through Voi. The landscape gradually shifts as you climb into the cooler green highlands around Nairobi. Red dust and bush give way to roadside towns, fresher air, and then the city itself.
