10-Day Kenya Wildlife & Culture Safari

Overview—10-Day Kenya Wildlife & Culture Safari

This 10-day safari combines Kenya’s world-renowned wildlife experiences with authentic cultural encounters, giving travelers a deep and balanced exploration of the country. Beginning in Nairobi, you’ll journey across iconic reserves such as Amboseli, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara—each with its own distinct ecosystem and wildlife highlights. From Amboseli’s herds of elephants grazing beneath Mount Kilimanjaro to the predator-rich plains of the Mara, this itinerary ensures exceptional Big Five encounters. Birdwatchers and photographers will also be delighted with the diversity of species in Rift Valley lakes and the unique animals of northern Kenya, including Grevy’s zebras and reticulated giraffes.

Beyond the wildlife, this safari provides meaningful cultural immersion. In Samburu, you’ll meet semi-nomadic pastoralist communities, learning about their traditions, resilience, and colorful way of life. In the Maasai Mara, you’ll interact with Maasai villagers, understanding their connection to the land and wildlife. These cultural exchanges, paired with guided game drives, make this safari more than just a journey through landscapes—it’s a story of people, nature, and heritage interwoven into an unforgettable adventure. Comfortable lodges and tented camps provide warm hospitality throughout, ensuring both excitement and relaxation.
