7 Days Magical Kenya safari
7 Days safari to Aberdares, Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara
Get ready for a spectacular experience as you travel through Kenya’s top national parks, filled with breathtaking scenery and unusual species that will make you wonder if you’re really awake.
Imagine a herd of elephants strolling in front of Kilimanjaro’s magnificent snow-capped summit, a group of lionesses teaching their babies how to hunt, and the unending golden savanna under a big and dramatic sky.
Imagine a million wildebeest navigating the Mara River while dodging the jaws of enormous crocodiles. These kinds of spectacles are just the start of Kenya’s magic.
Itinerary
Day 1: JKIA Arrival – Aberdare
You’ll be picked up from your hotel in the morning and proceed to Aberdare National Park, located about 150km (93 miles) east of Nairobi. Arrive in time for lunch at the hotel and later proceed for an afternoon game drive in search of the rare black rhinos, leopards, baboons, and Colobus monkeys.
Enjoy this beautifully scenic region much more relaxed than the savannahs and offers an entirely different perspective on the country. The scenery is spectacular, with its mountainous terrain covered in thick tropical forests shrouded in mist.
