Safari Overview

What to Expect

The Trailblazer covers ground most Kenya safaris never reach. Starting in Samburu, you'll track northern Kenya's unique species — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich — before moving south to the Masai Mara.

Our guides are specialists in both environments and the inter-region transfer is handled entirely by Sundown Safaris with no logistical gaps.

"Samburu completely blindsided us. We had no idea Kenya had this entirely different ecosystem up north. The reticulated giraffes were unlike anything I'd ever seen."
