Best of Lion Tracking Safari – 7 Days / 6 Nights

7 Days 6 Nights

The lion, Africa’s most iconic predator, has fascinated explorers, scientists, and safari enthusiasts for centuries. Kenya is one of the best places in the world to observe and track lions in their natural habitat. This 7 Days / 6 Nights Lion Tracking Safari is carefully designed for travelers who want an in-depth and exclusive experience following lions across Kenya’s renowned reserves.

The program combines guided lion tracking with trained rangers and researchers, early morning and evening drives focused exclusively on lions, and time spent learning about their behavior, ecology, and conservation challenges. You’ll travel through Nairobi National Park, Amboseli, and the Maasai Mara, three of Kenya’s most productive lion territories. This is not a general wildlife safari — it is dedicated to the study, observation, and photography of lions.
