Overview

Two very different Kenyan ecosystems in five days — Samburu's dramatic arid north with its unique Special Five (reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx and gerenuk), followed by the Maasai Mara's iconic savannah and its extraordinary Big Five density.

Fly between both destinations — no long road transfers, maximum wildlife time.
