10-Day Kenya Safari — Mount Kenya, Maasai Mara & Lake Naivasha

A classic private road safari rather than a fly-in — highland conservancy, a Rift Valley lake, and four unhurried days in the Masai Mara.

MOUNT KENYA · LAKE NAIVASHA · MASAI MARA

For travellers who'd rather watch Kenya change through the window than skip over it by air.

This route opens at Ol Pejeta Conservancy on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya, home to the last two northern white rhinos and excellent Big Five viewing against a highland backdrop. From there it drops into the Rift Valley for a boat safari and walking safari at Lake Naivasha, before closing with four full, unrushed days in the Masai Mara — enough time to actually wait out a river crossing rather than just pass through.

A private vehicle and driver-guide run the whole way, so the pace stays entirely yours.
