## Details

This 10-day mid-range Kenya safari is a fully road-based private itinerary from Nairobi through Amboseli, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Priced from US$2,675 per person full board, it suits travellers who want wide coverage of [Kenya](/kenya)’s parks at a comfortable mid-range level.

## Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?

- Amboseli National Park — two days of large elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro
- Ol Pejeta Conservancy — rhino conservation and rewarding game viewing
- Samburu National Reserve — two days in the north for rare species such as Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk and Beisa oryx
- Lake Nakuru National Park — rhino, giraffe, buffalo and Rift Valley birdlife
- Masai Mara National Reserve — three days of savannah game drives, with a seasonal chance of witnessing the Great Migration

## Who Is This Safari For?

Driving rather than flying keeps costs down and makes the journey itself part of the experience, passing farmlands, valleys and towns between parks. The route suits couples, families and private groups who have 10 days, want variety across five distinct ecosystems, and prefer comfortable mid-range lodges to premium pricing. Departures run all year round and can be arranged for solo travellers through to larger groups, and because the vehicle is private, game-drive timing and photo stops remain flexible throughout. The northern leg through Ol Pejeta and Samburu in particular distinguishes this itinerary from shorter southern-circuit safaris, adding species and scenery that most 5- and 6-day routes never reach.

## What Is Included?

The price covers private transport in a pop-up-roof Land Cruiser with a professional English-speaking guide, all national park entry fees, full-board meals as per the itinerary, drinking water and Flying Doctors emergency evacuation cover; the complete inclusions list is on this page.
