Exploring Kenya from Nairobi-  5–8 Day Wildlife Safaris with C.A.T.S

At Collective African Tours & Safaris (C.A.T.S), we believe a safari should be felt — not rushed. Our 5–8 Day Kenya Wildlife Safaris, starting and ending in Nairobi, are designed to immerse you fully in Africa’s natural world, moving at the rhythm of the wild.

These journeys are carefully paced, thoughtfully guided, and rooted in deep local knowledge. From wide savannahs and ancient forests to lakes, mountains, and remote wilderness, each safari reveals Kenya as it truly is — raw, beautiful, and alive.

This is not mass tourism.
This is Africa, experienced properly.


Why Travel with C.A.T.S on a 5–8 Day Safari?

Time is the greatest luxury in the wilderness. With more days on safari, nature reveals its stories naturally.

Our extended safaris offer:

  • Multiple morning and evening game drives when wildlife is most active

  • Increased chances of Big Five and predator encounters

  • Travel through multiple ecosystems in one seamless journey

  • Unhurried exploration without long, exhausting drives

  • Carefully selected lodges and tented camps close to nature

  • Knowledgeable local guides who read the land, tracks, and behavior

  • Scenic routes through the Great Rift Valley and Kenya’s heartlands

Every detail is planned with purpose — for comfort, wildlife, and authenticity.
