9 Day Classic Kenya Wildlife Safari, Our 9-day Kenya Wildlife Safari takes you to some of the best places in Kenya to see wildlife, including Amboseli, Laikipia, and the Masai Mara. It’s a cheap way to see Africa.

Safari in Kenya to See Wildlife

Start your African adventure in the stunningly beautiful Amboseli National Park. There you can get famous pictures of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. You can fly from Amboseli to Laikipia, which is where Ol Pejeta Conservancy is. It is tucked away in the mountains of the Aberdares and Mount Kenya, which is covered in snow. All five of the “big 5” animals can be found in Ol Pejeta.

Then go to the Masai Mara to see the Great Migration, which is one of the most amazing animal shows on Earth. Over two million Wildebeest, Zebras, and Gazelles are always on the move, looking for new grass to eat and drink. An African safari is an unforgettable experience because you can see so much wildlife and enjoy beautiful views of the open fields.

Day 1: Drive from Nairobi to Amboseli

You will be picked up early in the morning from your hotel in Nairobi and driven to the private Selenkay Conservancy, which is on the edge of Amboseli National Park. The drive takes about four hours. When you get to the camp, you’ll have time for a tasty lunch and some rest.

Following afternoon tea, you can join a Maasai guide on a walk to a nearby Maasai town. There, you can learn more about these interesting people and their culture.

Day 2: Amboseli National Park

When you wake up, you’ll hear the sounds of the bush and birds. After breakfast, go on a trek in Amboseli National Park for the whole day. As you stand here, you can take shots of animals with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background.

The park is partly dry and partly wet, with marshes and swamps fed by water that flows down from the mountains. A lot of different kinds of Kenyan wildlife live there, like buffalo, zebras, elephants, and a group of lions. While having a picnic lunch in the bush, you can watch African wildlife.

Then go on another game drive until the afternoon, and then go back to camp. Go on another game drive in the evening. On the way, stop at a lovely lookout to enjoy a cool sundowner while watching the beautiful Kenyan sunset. For a night drive, keep going on your game drive in the dark. Looking for animals that are hard to find at night, like caracals, bat-eared foxes, and aardvarks that have been hiding all day.

Day 3: Fly to Laikipia

You will be taken to the nearby airport after breakfast so that you can fly to Wilson Airport in Nairobi and connect to your flight to Laikipia. A guide will meet you here and take you to your camp in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where you will arrive in time for lunch. You can go on a game drive in the reserve in the late afternoon to look for the big cats that roam the plains. Enjoy a drink in the bush as you watch the sky turn a rainbow of colors at sunset.

Day 4: Explore Laikipia

After a full day of safari on Ol Pejeta Conservancy today, you can go to the chimpanzee colony. Over 60,000 acres of wilderness can be explored in the reserve, which is home to a huge variety of wild animals, such as elephants, rhinoceroses, and lions. If you’d rather, you can go on an organized bush walk and get to know the bush through touch, smell, and sound. Trying to figure out what an animal did while you were asleep by reading its tracks from its poop is one of the most exciting things that can happen.

After dinner, get warm and go for a drive at night. You might be able to see some of Kenya’s strangest animals with the help of a flashlight and your guide. Watch out for the striped polecat (also called a Zorilla), the aardwolf, or even a lion or leopard.

Day 5: Fly to the Masai Mara

It’s time to take a plane to the Masai Mara after a bush walk or game drive in the early morning. When you get there, a guide will meet you and take you to your camp in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy. This conservation area has open fields, riverine forests, springs, rivers, and streams that bubble and flow. It also has rolling hills that offer stunning views of the Mara.

Ol Kinyei is from a group of Maasai people who have recently set aside land to protect animals. Take a game drive in the afternoon and bring some cold drinks with you to see these wide savannahs.

Day 6: Full Day Safari Masai Mara

Today, go on a trek in Masai Mara National Reserve for the whole day. Bring a picnic lunch with you. Widen your search and enjoy the amazing acts of the plains antelope, which are always on the lookout for their constant enemies. Wow at how many animals are on the fields, how big the sky is in Africa, and how beautiful Kenya is in its natural state.

Day 7 – 8: Explore More of the Masai Mara

On the seventh day of your Kenya Wildlife Safari, you go on a longer game drive and switch camps, this time going to Olare Orok Conservancy in the Mara environment. You can add an early morning hot air balloon safari as an extra. There is nothing more peaceful and dramatic than floating over the grassland as the sun rises and fills the land with light. Better yet, get some rest before going on another full-day game drive, where you’ll see some amazing wildlife.

Day 9: Nairobi

You will go on one last game drive or walk before breakfast on the last day of your wildlife tour in Kenya. After that, you’ll be taken to the airport so you can catch your flight to Nairobi, where your tour finishes. If you need a place to stay before or after your tour, please talk to one of our Destination Specialists.
