This 5 day Kenya safari from Nairobi connects three very different wildlife experiences. Ol Pejeta offers rhino conservation, big-game viewing and the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary; Lake Naivasha adds a relaxing boat safari and walking experience; and the Masai Mara provides classic savannah game drives.

The route is compact enough for travellers with limited time but still includes two nights around the Masai Mara for a full day of game viewing.

The safari starts and ends in Nairobi and can be customized with different lodge or tented-camp options.
