Kenya Escapes Set Tour
What to Expect
7 nights / 8 days in Kenya (including a night in Nairobi at the start or end) with a road safari in a customised 4×4 safari vehicle with expert guide visiting Samburu Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara. Tour operates weekly, starting on a Saturday. Minimum 2 people.
This itinerary includes some of Kenya’s best known wildlife locations: Samburu, Nakuru and the Mara.
The itinerary combines:

- 2 nights at Elephant Bedroom Camp with game drives in the Samburu National Reserve with the chance to see a wide variety of big game including some less common species not seen elsewhere.
