10 Day Big Five Safari in Kenya

This ten-day safari offers breathtaking scenery, incredible game drives, and a wide variety of exotic creatures to see.

The Ol’ Pejeta Conservancy, a stunning area where you may observe both black and white rhinos, is where your journey will begin. Following this graduation ceremony, you will have two days to see the Samburu Special Five and large herds of elephants in the Samburu National Reserve, followed by more rhinos in the Solio Game Reserve rhino sanctuary (you can never get enough of them). It’s time to just take in the breathtaking sight of hundreds of flamingos turning the captivating Lake Nakuru pink at Lake Nakuru National Park.

You will spend two days exploring the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve before concluding your journey with a boat safari on Lake Naivasha. Anticipate seeing the Great Wildebeest Migration if the timing is correct, as well as the Big Five, the pinnacle of African wildlife. We’ve already told you that this safari has everything!

Is it safe to travel to Kenya?

Many people travelling to the African continent have questions about safety. Is Kenya safe to travel to? Our answer is clear: YES!

Kenya is definitely a safe country to visit, especially for people going on organised game drives with private guides as you will do with us. There are definitely some places to avoid in big cities like Nairobi or Mombasa, but – as with all big cities – by taking some precautions, you’ll be fine. We advise, for example, to leave the hotel at night with a driver and not to go strolling around alone. Also be aware not to wear big and visible jewellery, and keep an eye on your valuables.

What can I expect from a safari with Africa Safari Trips?

This is a private and exclusive safari designed to let you travel at your own pace. The journey is tailored specifically to you, exactly according to your preferences. Our experienced travel consultants ensure that every detail aligns with your wishes.

There are many benefits to this personalized experience. To begin with, you will travel in a private safari vehicle accompanied by your own dedicated guide. You have full flexibility to decide when to start your day and when to return, while still benefiting from your guide’s expert advice. Additionally, once inside a national park, you can spend as much time as you wish observing particular animals or herds, without feeling rushed. Finally, with a clear understanding of your interests, your personal guide will offer insightful recommendations, transforming your safari into a truly unforgettable adventure.

How can I personalize my trip with your services?

Can I see the Big Five in Kenya?

Absolutely! Kenya is also home to the iconic Big Five and countless other animal species. In short: wildlife galore. These magnificent creatures—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—can be observed in their natural habitats, making Kenya a top choice for wildlife enthusiasts.

Itinerary Details

dAY 1

Arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi

A member of our Africa Safari Trips staff or a hotel driver will greet you with a broad smile as you exit Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, saying, “Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!” He takes you directly to your hotel so you can unwind while getting a firsthand look at the vibrant city of Nairobi. The following day, you go on a private, exclusive safari with your guide that lets you go at your own speed. Now let’s go on the adventure!

Accommodation

Crowne Plaza Nairobi

Day 2

Ol' Pejeta Conservancy

A protected area for endangered species is the Ol’ Pejeta Conservancy. With almost 100 black rhinos, nearly 40 southern white rhinos, and the final two northern white rhinos in the world, this place is a rhino lover’s paradise. You can even get up close and personal with these white rhinos! In addition to rhinos, the conservancy is home to a sanctuary for mistreated or abandoned chimpanzees as well as endangered animals like the African wild dog, oryx, Jackson’s hartebeest, and Grévy’s zebra.

Accommodation

Sweetwaters Serena Camp

Day 3 - 4

Samburu or Buffalo Springs National Reserve

For the next two days, your safari journey will continue in northern Kenya. Depending on your lodging, you’ll visit Samburu National Reserve (Elephant Bedroom Camp or Samburu Sopa Lodge) or Buffalo Springs National Reserve (Ashnil Surana Buffalo Springs). Both reserves are part of the same ecosystem and include plentiful animals and panoramic savannah views.

Accommodation

Samburu Sopa Lodge

Day 5

The Solio Ranch / Solio Game Reserve

The Solio Ranch Conservancy is a privately owned and unique wildlife sanctuary. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the former ranch is committed to conserving and protecting rhinos in Kenya. Enjoy exhilarating game drives, guided walks, and tranquil picnics amidst the magnificent surroundings, where you can see not only grey giants, but also buffalos, zebras, giraffes, elands, oryx, impala, waterbucks, Thomson’s gazelles, and warthogs. You can spend an extraordinary day here or perhaps spend the night at this peaceful location in the middle of nowhere.

Accommodation

Solio Lodge

Day 6

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is an incredible wildlife paradise located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The park’s major attraction, Nakuru Lake, attracts hundreds of birds to its beaches. The park was once noted for its large flamingo population, but rising water levels forced these birds to migrate elsewhere. Fortunately, they are gradually returning, and in any event, Lake Nakuru is a fantastic site to visit, with black and white rhinos, giraffes, buffalos, lions, the occasional leopard, and over 400 bird species.

Accommodation

Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge

Day 7 - 8

En route to the famous Masai Mara National Reserve

Lovers of road trips get their money’s worth today, as you drive to what might be the most famous safari destination in the world. If you decide to sleep at the Zebra Plains Safari Camp today (our silver accommodation), you will end the day on a high note with a walking safari. If you opt for our gold or platinum accommodation, however, you skip the walking safari but sleep right in the heart of the Masai Mara.

Accommodation

Entim Mara Camp

Day 9

Boat ride on Lake Naivasha and walking safari on Crescent Island

Have you ever longed to pass floating hippos by boat? Look no further: this is what will happen during a boat safari on Lake Naivasha. You will cruise by large groups of hippos while watching eagles and cormorants sail overhead and seeing giraffes on the coast. The safari in a small motorised boat lasts approximately 60 minutes and concludes on the lovely Crescent Island, where you will continue with a stunning walking safari among zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests.

Accommodation

Enashipai Resort & Spa
