9-Day Kenya’s Amboseli, Samburu And Masai Mara (Fly-in)

A combined safari to Amboseli, Samburu, and the Masai Mara offers Kenya’s most diverse wildlife experience, typically spanning 9-days. It features the massive elephant herds of Amboseli, the unique northern species of Samburu (the “Special Five”), and the big cat action of the Mara. This Amboseli, Samburu And Masai Mara often feature luxury tented camps and flights to maximize time.

Travel across Kenya on your own terms while being escorted by knowledgeable Masaai or Samburu rangers, who will point out incredible game at every turn.

After a lengthy 9-day Amboseli, Samburu And Masai Mara, stop in Nairobi for some relaxation. Then, head southeast to see Mount Kilimanjaro and the enormous elephant herds in Amboseli National Park. Then, stay in huge tents at Tortilis Camp, which is designed in the traditional African style. Get a good night’s rest after watching the game, getting a massage, and then feasting like a king or queen. Though you’re sad to be leaving, you’re eager to continue your 9-Day Kenya’s Amboseli, Samburu And Masai Mara journey and find your home in the Elephant Bedroom among the mysterious Samburu people of the parched Northern Frontier District. Due to its extreme isolation and lack of human development, this breathtaking site might make you believe you’ve stepped back in time.

The Masai Mara’s Ilkeliani Camp, tucked up in a riverine jungle, is your final destination. Here you can find large herds of plains game, constantly pursued by ravenous predators. Delicious meals, nighttime campfires, and astronomy to round off ideal days—that’s what you can expect from me.
