3-day Samburu National Reserve Safari. The 3-day Samburu National Reserve safari offers an unforgettable experience in one of Kenya’s most unique and scenic game reserves. Located in the arid northern region, Samburu is known for its rugged landscapes, the Ewaso Nyiro River and rare wildlife species found only in this part of the country. On the first day, the journey begins with a flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport to Samburu. Upon arrival, the reserve’s dramatic scenery, including acacia-dotted plains and rocky hills, sets the stage for adventure. A game drive in the afternoon introduces the reserve’s rich biodiversity, with sightings of elephants, lions, and the unique Samburu Special Five—Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk. Our second day is dedicated to exploring the reserve through morning and evening game drives. The early drive provides the best chance to witness predators in action before the sun gets too hot. The Ewaso Nyiro River is a lifeline for wildlife and attracts large herds of elephants and other animals. Samburu’s open landscapes also make it easier to spot leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs. Between game drives, relaxation at the lodge or camp allows for a deeper appreciation of the peaceful surroundings, with opportunities to interact with Samburu people who share insights into the region’s culture and traditions. On the final day, a sunrise game drive offers one last chance to witness the reserve’s incredible wildlife before departure. The crisp morning air and golden light create a magical setting, often accompanied by sightings of lions or herds of antelope grazing. After breakfast, the journey back to Nairobi Wilson Airport begins, leaving behind memories of breathtaking landscapes, rare wildlife encounters, and the warm hospitality of Samburu people. This short yet immersive safari experience provides a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural discovery, making Samburu National Reserve a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers, to add on contact Miss.

3-Day Ol Pejeta conservancy Safari Ol Pejeta Conservancy offers an incredible safari experience, blending wildlife conservation with breathtaking landscapes. The journey begins with a scenic drive through central Kenya, passing lush tea and coffee plantations before reaching the conservancy. Upon arrival, the vast plains and acacia-dotted savannahs set the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Wildlife encounters are remarkable, with sightings of the Big Five, including rhinos and lions, often within close range. The conservancy is home to the last two northern white rhinos, making a visit to their sanctuary both a rare privilege and a poignant moment. Chimpanzee lovers also get the chance to visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where rescued chimps thrive in a protected environment. Game drives, whether morning or evening, reveal an abundance of wildlife, from herds of elephants to elusive leopards, all against the backdrop of Mount Kenya. Beyond game viewing, activities such as guided bush walks and night drives add depth to the safari.

3-Day Meru National Park Safari Meru National Park offers an unforgettable safari experience with its vast landscapes, diverse wildlife, and fewer crowds than other parks in Kenya. The journey begins with a short flight, bringing you into a wilderness rich in lush greenery, meandering rivers, and open savannahs. The park is known for its impressive elephant herds, lions, leopards, and rhinos, alongside lesser-seen species like the lesser kudu and Grevy’s zebra. Game drives provide thrilling encounters with wildlife, enhanced by the park's rugged terrain and dense vegetation. The contrast of woodlands, swamps, and riverine forests makes it an excellent spot for birdwatching, with over 400 recorded species. The experience feels intimate, as Meru is less frequented, allowing for uninterrupted wildlife viewing. Our Accommodation was luxury lodges, offering stunning views and immersive bush experiences.

3-Day Private Masai Mara Safari My daughter (age 9) and I had the most fantastic time while on a recent safari with Grayton Expeditions. Everything was perfect; pick up and drop off from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, hospitality, food, bush walks, camera traps, knowledgeable staff, driver/guide, game drives…to name a few! One month later, my daughter still talks about it like it was yesterday! She frequently asks ‘When are we going back’? Grayton Expeditions has unique personal touches which make you feel very special. We were also very lucky to see all the big fives and many more beautiful wild animals and birds. There was no dull moment and days were filled with morning and evening game drives accompanied by knowledge and informative staff, relaxing time by the swimming pool, conversation with other guests/hosts, great food and luxurious accommodation. We are already planning our next safari with Sandra of Grayton Expeditions!
3 Days Amboseli and Mount Kilimanjaro Just returned from our Safaris of 3 days to Amboseli and Mount Kilimanjaro. They go the distance to make your holiday great. Lovely lodge, with friendly helpful staff. Great game drives. All details are carefully taken care of and if any problems arise, these are dealt with professionally and quickly. A friendly host is around most of the time and in the area, contactable Sandra, is if any problems arise. Had a great safari. Will be using this company again.
The safari to Masai mara was amazing, I saw many animals lion, elephants cheetah leopard buffallo and many birds,it was one of the best in many Safari I have taken in life
Amazing 3 Days Amboseli and Mt Kilimanjaro Had an amazing holiday which was organized by Grayton Expeditions - we stayed in Ol Tukai Lodge which was in game reserves. All the hosts were very welcoming, the accommodation was extremely comfortable, wonderful food, and a very knowledgeable Driver/guide. We saw the big and the small '5' as well as lots of other animals and lots and lots of fantastic birds. The Driver/guide had amazing eyes and could spot something miles away that was extremely well camouflaged and there was no way that we would have seen it! The trip was very well organized by Sandra and the team - all the transfers between the airport and the lodge were very punctual as were the game drives in the morning and afternoon. It was an incredible experience which I will always remember, especially when we turned a corner on one of our game drives and there was this massive male lion fast asleep - it took your breath away!
3 Day Masai Mara Private Safari Amazing, Amazing, what a truly fantastic experience. I enjoyed every moment of my holiday. The camp was excellent with incredibly helpful and friendly staff. We were so lucky with the animals we saw on the game drives and the driver/guide was very knowledgeable. A special thank you to Grayton Expeditions who was a great host. I would suggest that if you are traveling straight home after the safari opt for the airplane transfer. It is a long road journey. Thank you so much, Sandra and team, although I had been to Kenya before this safari was special.
This safari was a great experience. The campground where we stayed was much nicer than I anticipated -- more than adequate for sure! We had a great safari guide who got us into the best positions to view the animals and knew where to find lions and even a leopard that others definitely did not get to see. If you have a bad back, safaris might not be the best option -- there was a lot of rough roads and hard jolts involved, but that is the nature of safaris and not something specific to this safari or company.
The communication with them was very easy since the beginning: they answered all the questions I had at the time and they adapted the safari for what I was looking for. Our guide Aruni was amazing!!! He was very friendly and glad to explain us all the curiosisties we had about the animals, the park, the country, the culture… everything! We saw all the animals we could wait for! Those days have been an incredible experience.
I made a 3-day safari in Masai Mara and the trip went beyond my expectations. I saw all the animals noted. Truly unforgettable experience which makes you feel like in a National Geographic film happens in front of your eyes. All this because of our skilful driver and guide Castro, who takes care of everything and mostly not to miss anything from the real life scenario in Masai Mara. Thank you! Asante!
we had a great time! We saw the big 5 and cheetahs and had a good look at all of them. The guide was a great companion and knew his stuff. The accommodation was solid and overall it was good value. Highly recommended
I loved the experience. The tour operators were so friendly and informed. Thanks to winston Omondi and team .
Early morning game drives were great, I would really love to do them again. The scenery was magnificent.
I used the service on Greyton expeditions Kenya to arrange for a pocket friendly and deserving vacation. The page provides very accurate rooms and very reasonable prices.

The staff throughout the vacation were very willing to go out of their way to ensure our satisfaction and enjoyment. Thanks for booking for giving my family a wonderful vacation.
