Luxury Kenya Safari
Itineraries

None of them are fixed. Every itinerary listed is a genuine starting point that can be lengthened, shortened, or reshaped — different regions, different camps, added or removed experiences — through our tailor-made safari builder.

Accommodation, meals, twice-daily game drives with a guide, domestic flights between regions, and park or conservancy fees are typically included. International flights, travel insurance, gratuities, and optional activities such as a balloon safari are usually quoted separately.

The 5-Night Classic Masai Mara Safari or the 7-Night Classic Kenya Safari (Mara + Amboseli) are our most-recommended starting points for first-time visitors, balancing wildlife density with manageable logistics.

Yes. Many clients use one sample itinerary as a base and extend it with elements from another — for example, adding the Walking & Photographic Safari's activity structure to the Honeymoon Safari's region pairing.

No. International flights to and from Kenya are booked separately by the traveller or their travel agent. Our itineraries include domestic flights between safari regions within Kenya.

For July–October or December travel, nine to twelve months ahead is recommended, given limited conservancy camp availability. For green season travel, three to six months is usually sufficient.

Yes. The Honeymoon Safari itinerary above is one example, but any itinerary can be adjusted for a specific occasion — private villas, bush dinners, and specific camp requests can all be arranged.

All of our itineraries are designed for private groups, starting from a single solo traveller. There is no minimum group size, though solo travellers typically pay a single-supplement on accommodation.

Yes. Several exclusive-use camps and villas featured across these itineraries can be booked as a full-property buyout for larger family or friend groups — mention your group size when enquiring and we'll recommend suitable properties.

Yes. The Masai Mara Express (4 nights) is specifically built for shorter timeframes, and any longer itinerary can be compressed by removing a region or reducing nights per camp, though we'll advise honestly if a compression risks feeling rushed.

Changes are possible up until camps are confirmed and deposits paid, after which changes depend on each camp's individual cancellation and amendment policy. We flag this clearly before you confirm any booking.

Most ultra-luxury camps in these itineraries include a private vehicle and guide as standard. At lower tiers, a private vehicle can be added as a supplement — this is confirmed per camp during itinerary planning.

Use our tailor-made safari builder, or send your preferred starting itinerary along with your dates and group size to safari@kenyaprivatesafaris.com, and we'll return an adjusted, itemised itinerary within 12 hours.

Amboseli is particularly famous for elephants and offers the iconic opportunity to photograph them with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Samburu and Tsavo are also excellent elephant destinations.

Yes. Diani Beach is one of the most popular combinations. You can combine the Masai Mara, Amboseli or Tsavo with the Kenyan coast.

Yes. Kenya is particularly well suited to honeymoons because private safari camps can combine wildlife with intimate accommodation, bush dining, sundowners and personalised experiences.

Yes, provided the itinerary is designed around the children's ages and interests. Private vehicles, fewer camp changes and family-friendly properties usually make the experience much easier.

It depends on your available time. With five or six nights, we would usually favour one or two destinations. With eight to twelve nights, you can comfortably combine several regions without rushing.

For a first luxury safari, one of our favourite combinations is Amboseli and the Masai Mara. For a more sophisticated itinerary, Samburu, Laikipia and the Mara provide much greater ecological and experiential variety.

Choose based on location, guiding, privacy and the experience rather than whether the accommodation is called a lodge or camp. Some of Kenya's finest luxury experiences are under canvas.

If wildlife is your priority, we would usually recommend focusing on the Masai Mara rather than trying to visit several destinations. A short safari is often better when spent deeply in one ecosystem.

Two days. The 2-Day Amboseli Safari gives you one night and two private game drives, about four hours by road from Nairobi each way. For the Masai Mara, the shortest is the 3-Day Masai Mara Safari.

The 7-Day Kenya Classic Safari covers Kenya's classic parks by road with one guide. If time is short, choose the 5-Day Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari or the 4-Day Classic Masai Mara Safari.

The 7-Day Great Migration Safari spends six nights in the Masai Mara. The herds are usually in the Mara from July to October, and no operator can guarantee a river crossing.

The 8-Day Masai Mara & Watamu, 10-Day Amboseli, Masai Mara & Diani, 12-Day Grand Safari & Beach and 14-Day Samburu, Masai Mara & Diani safaris end on the coast.
