Three remarkable and wildlife-rich regions

A wonderful and in-depth safari through three distinct ecosystems, each with a vast array of wildlife and offering a unique safari experience.

For those looking to explore multiple habitats and maximise their wildlife sightings, this safari is perfect. You'll journey through three of Kenya’s most iconic landscapes - Amboseli, Lewa, and the Masai Mara - each with its own distinctive scenery and wildlife, from vast elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro to endangered rhinos and the big cats of the Mara plains.

Our Kenya expert, Ottilie, says:

"This trip really captures the soul of Kenya and you get such variety. Each place offers something completely different - it’s a proper safari for people who are particularly interested in wildlife and ecology and want to see it all, with brilliant guides and some really special places to stay along the way."

The adventure begins in Amboseli National Park, where wide-open plains frame stunning views of snow-capped Kilimanjaro, and some of Africa’s largest elephants roam the dusty landscape. Game drives here are unbelievable, especially at sunrise and sunset, when golden light bathes the marshes and acacia-dotted plains.

Next, travel north to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a lush highland haven teeming with rare and endangered species. This is one of the best places in Africa to see black and white rhino, as well as Grevy’s zebra, whose fine, narrow stripes make them instantly recognisable.

Finally, you’ll fly to the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most iconic safari destination. Staying in a private conservancy bordering the main reserve, you’ll enjoy exceptional game viewing with fewer crowds. Explore sweeping savannahs on day and night game drives, walk with expert guides, and watch as lions, cheetahs and wildebeest roam the golden plains - the perfect grand finale to your African adventure.

Beyond incredible wildlife, this safari offers meaningful connections through visits to local schools, conservation programmes, and community projects such as the Lewa Education Programme, the Land & Life Foundation, and the Amboseli Elephant Research Trust, where you’ll see how responsible tourism supports people, animals and the environment. Along the way, you’ll meet traditional Samburu and Maasai communities, whose vibrant dress, rich culture, and warm hospitality leave a lasting impression.

Whether you’re watching elephants at sunset, sleeping under the stars in a Loisaba Star Bed, or tracking lions across the plains, this safari blends incredible wildlife encounters with genuine opportunities to learn about Kenya’s people and conservation efforts.

January

January is a great time for wildlife viewing. The landscapes are lush and green after the 'short rains' and newborn animals can been seen. It is hot, but brief afternoon or evening showers cool things down, without compromising your safari. Over on the coast the sea is clear, making it ideal for diving and snorkelling, and the days are warm and bright.

February

February is an ideal time to visit Kenya, and great for game viewing. The landscapes are green and thriving thanks to the short rains, and newborn animals will be hopping around the plains. There maybe a few afternoon showers which are welcome in the heat, and don't impact on wildlife viewing. Water clarify is excellent at the moment, which is good news for watersports enthusiasts. And if you want to spot a whale shark, now is the time to try.

March

Still a good option for wildlife viewing and diving, although with the 'long rains' just around the corner, expect wetter and hotter weather.

April

April brings the start of the 'long rains' which means game reserves and national parks become muddy and harder to drive around. Over on the coast it's hot and wet, so it isn't the best time of year to travel. Some camps and lodges close during this period.

May

The 'long rains' continue into May, making park tracks difficult to navigate in the mud, and the coast very warm and wet. There will be less accommodation choice at this time as several lodges and camps during this period.

June

June is a beautiful time of year to visit Kenya, with the rains receding to just light showers, and the long dry season not far ahead. The high grasses can sometimes make it more of a challenge to spot game, but the landscapes are lush and some animals may begin arriving early for the migration. At altitude nights can be cool, but elsewhere the temperature is pleasant.

July

July marks the beginning of the great migration into the Masai Mara, and with warm and generally dry weather, this is a great time of year to visit. Days are sunny, skies are blue and there isn't too much dust around, so it's a great time for photography.

August

The migration is now in full swing in the Masai Mara, with lots of river crossing action, so if you want to see those massive herds of wildebeest and zebra, now is the time to come. Game viewing in general is excellent and it's one of the most popular times of year to visit, so some of the main parks do become crowded. Temperatures are warm and dry.

September

Game viewing continues to be excellent, and the weather is generally dry so this is another ideal month to visit Kenya's parks. The bush is less dense and as animals gather around waterholes and rivers it makes wildlife spotting much easier.

October

October is a great time if you want to avoid the crowds and don't mind the temperature slowly starting to rise. There may be a few short showers, but game viewing remains excellent with the end of the migration, and it's a good time to holiday anywhere in Kenya.

November

November heralds the start of the 'short rains' and with hotter temperatures some camps are closed. The Mara however is still open, and despite sometimes stormy skies, game viewing is still good. Fewer crowds and lower prices make this an attractive month to visit. Over on the coast water clarify is good for snorkelling and diving.

December

The 'short rains' are bringing the landscapes back to life, and as the plains start to become green again, wildlife viewing remains good, and it's a great time for birding. Some camps are closed (mainly in the north of Kenya) but many others remain open. The showers tend to fall in the afternoons and don't impact greatly on a safari. Take advantage of reduced visitor numbers and lower prices.
