Kenya Safari Itineraries: 3, 5 and 7 Day Ideas for the Mara, Amboseli and the Coast
Kenya's parks are close enough to build a varied safari in a week.
Kenya suits short and long trips. A three-day itinerary can focus on the Masai Mara, five days can add Lake Nakuru or Amboseli, and seven days can cover several regions or add the coast. Many travellers pair Kenya with Uganda for a mix of savannah and primates.
The itineraries below are examples. Each can be adjusted with different lodges, game-drive styles and activities, and we can arrange flights between parks to reduce driving.
This guide is part of our East Africa travel guides. When you are ready to plan, see our Uganda safari packages or the Ameera Africa Safaris Uganda tours homepage.
