What a better way to explore three of Kenya’s most magnificent landscapes than in a private 4x4 safari vehicle, a truly epic ‘road-trip’ through classic savannah-and-safari country. This 8-day safari begins and ends in Nairobi, and encompasses a round trip by road through three of Kenya’s iconic and game-rich areas: Masai Mara, Samburu and Nakuru.
