A lot of safari content is written for people flying in for ten days. This one is for everyone here who has a Friday afternoon, a car, and Monday off.

Nairobi National Park, Amboseli, Tsavo, Naivasha, Nakuru, Ol Pejeta and the Aberdares are all in weekend range depending on how early you're willing to leave.

What's your route, where do you stay, and how bad is the drive really?
