I think that's too ambitious for 10 days especially on a driving itinerary. I'd probably drop Amboseli. Samburu, Rift Valley lakes and the Mara is do-able with 10 days.

Maybe look at Samburu Game Lodge.

Try Southern Cross Safaris from Mombasa. They operate their own camp, Satao Camp, in Tsavo East.

Just came back from Lake Naivasha and there were thousands of flamingos all over the lake.

Was just wondering how safe would be such a travel in terms of criminality/police, road gangs etc. Are locals friendly?

Do you use any local agent to organize this?

Why do you want to do a self-drive? It's easy enough to arrange your visit with an outfitter who will provide guide, vehicle, book hotels/lodges/camps, handle the park fees, arrange meet/greet and handle all transfers.

The guide knows where he's going and what to look for as far as game is concerned, rather than you trying to do both. Knows the roads, any police/security stops, etc. Price can be as competitive and probably even better.

As Patty mentions, if visiting Samburu, no reason to also visit Amboseli. The rest is doable.

Good luck.

Sandi,
I don't think the OP is self driving.

My old dad and I are hiring a 4x4 and driver

msmallet07,
I've traveled by road many times in Kenya and felt very safe. Yes I would use a local tour operator to organize this.

Thanks a lot for all the advice folks, I'll look into your suggestions.

Oh I forgot to say that the driver is an Kenyan fellow who is very experienced at taking people on safari.

Patty - my ooops, read too quickly!

Mattiewils,
There is a train service from Nairobi to Mombasa every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Departing Nairobi at 1900hrs and arriving Mombasa at 0830 hrs. I would recommend http://speedbirdsafaris.com/safari/ as your reliable safari outfitter.They will be able to arrange all the safari needs for you including the train booking. They also use Land Cruisers for their safaris.

Thanks

Anyone had contacts with http://tripcook.com/ts--Kenya--mombasa--severin_travel--607 ?
I sent them a request and received a good travel quote, but I am not sure how reliable they are. The Tripcook.com website gives them a good rating, but I could not find traveler's comments.
