9-Day Classic Kenya Experience
Per Person Sharing
9 days
Amboseli‚ Kenya (ASV - Amboseli)
This 9-day Kenya safari brings together three of the country's best-known wildlife areas: Amboseli, Laikipia and the Masai Mara. Travelling by light aircraft between destinations keeps the journey smooth and allows you to experience different landscapes without long road transfers.
Start in Amboseli, where large elephant herds move across open plains with Mount Kilimanjaro often visible in the background. From here, fly north to Laikipia's Ol Pejeta Conservancy, where days include a mix of game drives and other activities that offer a different way to explore the bush. Then continue to the Mara North Conservancy in the Masai Mara, where time is spent on safari in one of Kenya's most wildlife-rich regions, known for its predators and seasonal wildlife movement – including the Great Migration.
This itinerary works well for travellers looking for a classic Kenya safari with a straightforward flow between regions. Each stop offers a slightly different experience, while the overall pace remains easy and consistent.
Elerai – beautiful, wonderful food, service, accommodation, and safaris. Wouldn’t change a thing – well it would be nice if the pool was heated (but no pool we tried to use was heated during the entire trip)! Kilimanjaro was beautiful, we were glad to have seen it.
On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you'll be met and transferred to Wilson Airport for your scheduled light aircraft flight to Amboseli. After landing, a short road transfer brings you to Elerai Camp, set within a private conservancy on the edge of the national park.
Game drives explore both the conservancy and Amboseli National Park, known for its large elephant herds and wide, open landscapes. On clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro provides a striking backdrop. Additional activities include guided walks with Maasai guides and night drives within the conservancy, offering a different perspective on wildlife after dark.

While I am sure there are many wonderful camps in Kenya, I was especially pleased that we stayed at the Kicheche camps. The accommodations, the staff, the food and especially the guides were outstanding. We spent a lot of time speaking with Andrew at the Kicheche Mara camp about the mission and aspirations of the Kicheche Camps. We were all very impressed with him and his representations of Kicheche. We will definitely refer this company to our friends.
The vehicles were great in fulfilling our photography goals. The guides were especially accommodating and knowledgeable about what we were seeking.
After breakfast, transfer back to the airstrip for your flight via Nairobi to Laikipia, landing at Kamok Airstrip. From here, continue by road to Kicheche Laikipia Camp, located within the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.
Alongside game drives, there are other ways to explore the conservancy, including guided walks, night drives and mountain biking. Ol Pejeta is home to species not often seen elsewhere, such as Grevy's zebra and Jackson's hartebeest, and is also known for its work in rhino conservation.

Excellent starting with the pickup by our guide at the airstrip. Wonderful guide. The camp facilities and personnel were wonderful. Incredible experience to begin our safari trip.
From Laikipia, transfer to the airstrip for your light aircraft flight to the Masai Mara, landing at Mara North Airstrip before continuing to Kicheche Mara Camp.
Game drives focus on the Mara's well-known predator populations, including lion, leopard and cheetah. Depending on the time of year, you may also see large herds moving through the area as part of the Great Migration. Guided walks and visits to local Maasai communities add further context to your stay.

On this safari, you'll get a rich mix of experiences across three very different landscapes - the wide-open Mara, the wild feel of Laikipia, and the beautiful acacia scenery around Elerai. The lodges are all well-located, comfortable, and genuinely committed to conservation and supporting local communities. Plus, the extra complimentary night is a nice bonus, giving you more time to really enjoy it all.
