TOUR OVERVIEW

A unique 5-day, 4-night combination pairing a guided 2-day trek on Mount Kenya's lower routes with 3 days of classic Masai Mara game drives — trek and wildlife in a single trip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Why choose between a mountain and a safari when you can have both? This itinerary opens with a guided trek on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest peak, through montane forest and moorland alive with unique alpine flora and the occasional elephant or buffalo track. From there, you'll transfer to the Masai Mara for three days of Big Five game drives — a genuine change of pace and landscape within one trip. It's a rare combination that appeals to fit, adventurous travelers who want more than a standard vehicle-based safari, without committing to a full mountaineering expedition.

Frequently Asked Questions

No — this itinerary covers the lower trekking routes through forest and moorland, not a technical
summit climb. It’s accessible to reasonably fit travelers without prior trekking experience.

The standard itinerary covers the lower trekking zones, but a summit attempt can be arranged as an optional upgrade with additional porter and guide support — just let us know your interest when booking.

We coordinate a smooth road transfer via Nairobi between the two regions, handled entirely by our team so you don’t need to arrange any logistics yourself.

A moderate fitness level — comfortable walking several hours on varied terrain — is recommended. If you have specific concerns, our team can discuss the trek’s demands with you in detail before booking.

This combination is genuinely rare among Kenya-based operators, which is precisely why we built it— most companies specialize in either trekking or safaris, not both, coordinated as one seamless trip.

Layered clothing is key — warm gear for Mount Kenya’s cooler altitudes, plus lighter safari clothing for the Mara’s warmer lowlands. We provide a combined packing checklist covering both environments once
your trip is confirmed.
