Start with a route that fits.

Kenya's definitive seven-day safari: the Masai Mara's big cats, Lake Nakuru's rhinos and Amboseli's great elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.

Four days between two of Kenya's great wildlife arenas: the big-cat plains of the Masai Mara and the rhino-and-flamingo shores of Lake Nakuru.

Eight days that pair Kenya's finest wildlife with the Indian Ocean: the Masai Mara, red-elephant country in Tsavo West, then barefoot Diani Beach.

Four conservation-focused days: endangered species at Ol Pejeta, forest walks on Mount Kenya's slopes, and hippos and fish eagles at Lake Naivasha.
