9 Days
What separates this from Wild Whispers Africa’s other Kenya trips is that it starts slowly: two nights in Nairobi with a full day given over to the city, rather than driving out on arrival.
That day covers the Nairobi National Museum, Bomas of Kenya and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage. From there the trip runs south to Amboseli for two nights, north to Lake Nakuru for two — including a tree-planting session as part of the park’s reforestation work — and finishes with two nights in the Masai Mara.
Overview
Two nights in Nairobi with a full city day, then Amboseli, two nights at Lake Nakuru and two in the Masai Mara.
- Where you go: Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park, Maasai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi
