Priced from US$4,509 per person full board with a private 4x4 Land Cruiser and professional guide, it suits travellers who want Kenya’s classic southern circuit at a premium, flexible pace. ## Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit? - Amboseli National Park — two days, with an evening game drive on arrival and a full day among elephant herds, open plains, swamps and woodlands beneath Mount Kilimanjaro - Lake Naivasha — a relaxing boat ride and guided Crescent Island nature walk, complimentary on this itinerary, with hippos, fish eagles and waterbirds - Lake Nakuru National Park — flamingos, pelicans and one of the best stops on the route for both black and white rhinos - Masai Mara National Reserve — a Maasai village visit with optional moran-led nature walk, then full-day game drives; from July to October the reserve offers a seasonal chance of the Great Migration ## Who Is This Safari For? Because the vehicle and guide are private, daily timing flexes around guests’ comfort and interests, which suits couples, families and small groups, including those travelling with mixed ages. Seven days allows full days in both Amboseli and the Mara without long back-to-back drives, and the trip ends with a farewell lunch in Nairobi before the homebound flight. Departures operate in every month of the year. ## Why Choose This Route? The itinerary blends four distinct experiences — elephant country under Kilimanjaro, a walkable lake sanctuary, a compact rhino park and Africa’s most famous big-cat reserve — so each stage feels different from the last. Early mornings in Amboseli often bring the clearest mountain views, while the Mara’s full-day drives give time to range widely across the plains rather than covering a single circuit. ## What Is Included? The price covers airport pickup and drop-off, all transfers 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 appears further down this page. ## Frequently asked questions ### How many days is this Kenya safari?

Flexible private timing helps families adjust starts, breaks and activity length with the guide. ### What vehicle is used for the game drives?

Long transfers and game drives are kept private, so the day’s rhythm can be discussed with your guide. ### Is the Lake naivasha boat ride and Crescent Island walk included?

Wildlife sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed, but the route is excellent for game viewing. ### When is the best time for this 7-day Kenya safari? This safari can be done year-round.

Luxury lodge choices can be tailored for romance, child-friendly facilities or exclusive-use comfort. ### How much driving is involved in this itinerary?
