About this itinerary
Mellow Safaris' 7-Day Kenya College Safari is a real Big Five safari built specifically for university and college groups — the same parks, guides and 4x4 Land Cruisers as our signature trips, paced and priced for a college calendar. Over seven days your group covers three of Kenya's most iconic ecosystems — Amboseli's elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate on foot and by bike, Lake Nakuru's rhino sanctuary, and the Masai Mara's Big Five plains — sharing comfortable fixed-tent camps, full board, and a dedicated Mellow Safaris trip coordinator throughout. One seat travels free for your group leader or lecturer on every departure of 10 or more.
Highlights
- — Amboseli elephant herds with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop
- — Hell's Gate guided cycling and walking safari — Kenya's only on-foot national park experience
- — Lake Nakuru's rhino sanctuary and flamingo-lined shores
- — A full day of Masai Mara game drives with a Maasai village cultural visit

Day by Day
Your group arrives into Nairobi and is met by your Mellow Safaris trip coordinator for airport transfers. After settling in, we run a welcome briefing covering the week ahead and safety guidance, before a welcome dinner to kick off the trip together.
