Wild Realms of Kenya: A 6-Day Journey Through Nature’s Untamed Beauty
This 6-day safari with Jossec Safaris invites you to explore four of Kenya’s most beautiful and wildlife-rich destinations—Samburu National Reserve, the misty forests of Aberdares, the flamingo-dotted Lake Nakuru, and the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve. Travel in comfort aboard our custom 4x4 jeeps, guided by experienced driver-guides who know every corner of the parks. Each day offers a new experience—whether it’s spotting the rare reticulated giraffe in Samburu or witnessing the majesty of lions on the plains of the Mara. With handpicked accommodations and full-board meals, this journey promises to be unforgettable.
Day 1: Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve
You’ll be picked up early from your Nairobi hotel by our Jossec Safaris team for a warm welcome and short pre-safari briefing. Begin the scenic journey north, passing through Kenya’s central highlands on your way to Samburu. Arrive in time for lunch at the lodge and a bit of rest. Later in the afternoon, enjoy your first game drive in the reserve, known for its unique wildlife such as the Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and reticulated giraffe. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
