Description

When heading to East Africa, there is no experience quite like spending 9 days on safari in the incredible Kenya national parks!

Starting from the south – in Tsavo East and West National Parks – and working our way north to Meru National Park, we will experience a wide variety of the country's stunning landscapes, while having the chance to see some of Africa's most iconic wildlife.

Our tour will feel like a whirlwind, as we explore 5 national parks and 1 wildlife sanctuary. Along the way, we'll get to see everything from lions to rhinos as well as enjoy various landscapes.

Each day, we will go on morning or evening game drives in order to see the country's magnificent wildlife in its natural habitats.

As we go, we will also enjoy incredible views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and the Aberdares mountain ranges. We will visit swamplands, savanna, subtropical forests and volcanic landscapes, among many others.

Each of Tsavo East and West National Parks; Ambseli National Park, in the heart of the savanna; Aberdare National Park, where we'll see the incredibly rare black rhino; Meru National Park; and Oj Pejeta Conservancy have their own memorable highlights and scenery.

When taken all together, it forms a patchwork of the incredible landscapes and places that compose southern and central Kenya. By the time it's time to go, you'll already be thinking of when to next come back.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 9-day safari through the stunning Kenya National Parks!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
