Combining two famous game parks of Kenya, this adventure safari allows close encounters with East Africa’s finest wildlife. You'll experience the real Masai Mara and Amboseli with walking safaris, 4x4 day and night game drives, and camping in small tents, bringing you closer to nature. Be prepared to spot impressive wildlife, including, hopefully, the big cats on this exciting wildlife journey.
This bespoke journey features some of our favourite spots in Kenya. You can choose to take our destination experts’ recommendations and travel just as you see the itinerary here, or contact us to add your own special touches; maybe a balloon safari or a visit to a Masai community to see how they live alongside the wildlife. We’re here to design your perfect holiday. Call us on 0844 875 1890.

Journey to Amboseli National Park
Arriving in Nairobi you transfer to Selenkay Conservancy part of Amboseli National Park. The journey is approximately 102 miles, taking around four hours, however for an extra £145 you may choose to fly instead. This afternoon, head out on your first game drive to explore the Selenkay Conservancy. All the big cats have been seen in the conservancy, as well as elephants, large numbers of giraffes, zebra and antelopes. There are also less common animals to be seen such as the long-necked gerenuk gazelle, lesser kudu and African wildcat.
Please note, your camping throughout this trip is in small two-man dome tents with mattresses. Each tent has its own flush toilet and safari shower behind the tent. All meals are prepared by the camp cook and mineral water is provided. The attraction of this mobile camping experience (tents are only up from July to October) is that you are enjoying the same high quality wildlife safari experience as you would get in the top-end lodges, in 4x4 vehicles (not a minibus) and with experienced guides. The tents are, however, basic. This is a back-to-the-wilds camping adventure!
