14 Days Kenya Safari
Amboseli National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu National Reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara
Safari Overview
This 14-day Kenya safari is designed as a comprehensive journey through some of Kenya’s most renowned wildlife destinations, combining the dramatic landscapes of southern Kenya with the wildlife-rich northern safari circuit and the Great Rift Valley.
The safari begins in Nairobi before travelling south to Amboseli National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. From Amboseli, the journey continues north to the Aberdare region, followed by Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where guests can experience one of Kenya’s important wildlife conservation areas. The safari then proceeds to Samburu National Reserve, known for its distinctive northern wildlife and rugged landscapes.
From Samburu, the itinerary returns south through the Great Rift Valley, visiting Lake Nakuru National Park and Lake Naivasha before continuing to the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve for three nights of extended game viewing.
This 14-day Kenya safari itinerary provides a broad introduction to Kenya’s diverse landscapes, ecosystems and wildlife while allowing sufficient time in several destinations for meaningful safari experiences rather than simply passing through each park.
