In just seven days, you can experience the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Samburu national parks, each a treasured gem of the Kenya national parks system and home to abundant wildlife and fantastic African scenery.

Home to a variety of wildlife, the Masai Mara is one reserve where you can see the "Big Five" in a single morning. The Masai Mara stretches out over a flat grassy plain and is most famous for its annual migration of millions of wildebeest, which usually peaks between July through early November. The big cats do not migrate however so no matter when you visit the Mara, you are bound to enjoy excellent wildlife viewing.

Lake Nakuru is set in a picturesque landscape of surrounding woodlands and grasslands next to the town of Nakuru.

Samburu is another wonderful game reserve in semi-arid bush country located north of Mount Kenya.
