10-Day Kenya Ultimate Grand Safari
— The Complete Kenya — North to South, Bush to Beach, Wilderness to Coast
10 Days Kenya 5Luxury Safari
Overview
The most comprehensive Kenya itinerary we offer — a 10-day expedition that traverses the full spectrum of the country's extraordinary landscapes and wildlife from the hot Northern Frontier to the Indian Ocean coast. This is Kenya without compromise: the Special Five of Samburu, the last northern white rhinos of Ol Pejeta, the flamingo-fringed shores of Lake Nakuru, the iconic predator density of the Maasai Mara, the elephants beneath Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, and finally the powder-white sands and turquoise Indian Ocean of Kenya's south coast. Each destination is allocated sufficient time to be genuinely experienced rather than simply ticked off a list. Two nights in Samburu allow for a full exploration of the reserve's unique northern species. Two days at Ol Pejeta provide time for both the chimpanzee sanctuary and the extraordinary northern white rhino experience. Three days in the Maasai Mara — the emotional and photographic centrepiece — include a pre-dawn hot-air balloon flight and multiple full-day drives. The Amboseli chapter adds the definitive Kilimanjaro-elephant photograph. Three final days at Diani Beach deliver the complete decompression. This itinerary is designed for the once-in-a-lifetime traveller — someone who has saved up the time and the ambition to see Kenya properly, in full, in a single unforgettable journey.
