Seven days connecting northern and southern Kenya
This 7 day Kenya safari creates a broad cross section of the country in one private journey. It begins with two nights in Samburu National Reserve, continues to Ol Pejeta Conservancy, pauses beside Lake Naivasha, then finishes with two nights around the Masai Mara National Reserve.
The strength of the itinerary is contrast. Samburu introduces the dry Ewaso Nyiro landscape and northern species such as Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich. Ol Pejeta adds rhino conservation and the wider Laikipia ecosystem. Lake Naivasha provides a quieter Rift Valley interlude, while the final two nights in the Mara focus on open savannah, predators and plains wildlife.

Safari style and accommodation
SafariBookings classifies this as a luxury private safari. The current accommodation pattern uses Ashnil Samburu Camp for the Samburu section, Maisha Sweetwaters Camp near Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge and Mara Maisha Camp for the Masai Mara section. Euclea confirms the exact property before payment because availability can require a comparable alternative.
The journey uses a private pop up roof 4x4 safari vehicle and includes airport transfers connected to the safari. Current adult selling rates are stored as dated party size bands. Adult only bookings matching an active rate can be calculated server side and proceed to DPO payment, while groups shown as Get Quote remain quotation only.
Samburu National Reserve
Two nights in Samburu give the itinerary time for an arrival game drive and a full second day. For destination information from the local authority, see the Samburu County tourism guide.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy
The third day moves south to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The conservancy is internationally important for rhino protection and also operates the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Current visitor guidance is available through the official Ol Pejeta website.
Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara
Lake Naivasha breaks the longer north to south journey with a lakeside stay and boat experience before the safari continues to the Masai Mara. The Mara section includes an arrival game drive and a full day dedicated to wildlife viewing rather than rushing through the reserve.
