Overview

Enjoy a private Kenya safari from Nairobi through three contrasting destinations: the conservation heartland of Ol Pejeta, the Rift Valley's Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara National Reserve. This 7-day itinerary includes private game drives in your own 4×4 Toyota Safari Land Cruiser with a professional English-speaking driver-guide. Learn about rhino conservation at Ol Pejeta, enjoy Nakuru's flamingos and rhinos, and spend extended time in the Mara, with possible seasonal Migration encounters. Travel in a private 4×4 Safari Land Cruiser with a professional English-speaking guide and choose accommodation across budget, midrange, or luxury levels. With Pita Safaris, every journey feels personal. It is time to linger when a sighting captures your attention, a guide who understands what you hope to see, and a comfortable place to return to at the end of each day.
