11 Days Kenya Safari Tour Private 4×4 Land Cruiser

Package Overview

The 11 Days Kenya Explorer Safari covers Kenya’s classic wildlife circuit plus a beach finish. You’ll track the Big Five across the Masai Mara’s open plains, watch flamingos and rhino at Lake Nakuru, photograph elephants against Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, explore Tsavo’s red-dust landscapes, and unwind on Diani’s white sand before flying home. Every game drive runs in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser Jeep, tailored to your group and no one else’s.

In short: an 11-day, five-park Kenya safari in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser, running from Nairobi through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo, finishing with beach time on the Kenyan coast.

Getting There & Logistics

Fly into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi, this is where your safari begins and where your private 4×4 Land Cruiser pickup takes place. Most international flights connect through Europe, the Middle East, or other African hubs.

Your safari ends at the coast. From Diani Beach on Day 11, we transfer you to Mombasa’s Moi International Airport (MBA) or the Ukunda airstrip, depending on your onward flight. If you’re flying directly out of Kenya from the coast, let us know your flight details in advance so we can time the transfer correctly.

Luggage on safari should be packed in soft-sided bags, Land Cruisers have limited rigid storage space. We recommend one main bag per person plus a small daypack for camera gear and essentials.

July to October offers the Great Migration in the Masai Mara and dry-season game viewing across all parks. January and February are also strong for wildlife visibility with fewer crowds.
