7-Day Kenya Safari Itineraries: Wildlife Adventures, Luxury Holidays and Beach Escapes

A 7 day Kenya safari is an opportunity to experience some of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife, landscapes and cultures in a single holiday. From lions hunting across the open plains of the Maasai Mara to elephants walking beneath Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, Kenya offers extraordinary variety for travellers who want more than an ordinary vacation.

But what should you include when you have only 7-day Kenya safari itineraries to explore?

Should you spend the entire week exploring wildlife parks, combine the Maasai Mara with Lake Nakuru, follow the elephant trails of Amboseli and Tsavo, discover northern Kenya’s distinctive wildlife, or finish your safari with a few relaxing days on the Indian Ocean coast?

The right itinerary depends on your arrival airport, interests, budget, travel season and preferred pace. A couple planning a romantic escape may want private luxury camps and a fly-in safari, while a family may prefer comfortable lodges, shorter drives and child-friendly activities. Photographers may prioritise big cats and dramatic landscapes, whereas beach lovers may want to combine wildlife viewing with the white sands of Diani, the marine attractions of Watamu, the historic character of Mombasa or the relaxed atmosphere of Malindi.

At Astute Africa Safaris, the goal is to help travellers design a Kenya holiday around the experiences they value most, rather than simply squeezing as many destinations as possible into seven days.

This guide explores different seven-day Kenya safari itineraries, practical travel arrangements, accommodation choices, wildlife experiences, approximate budgeting considerations and safari-and-beach combinations. It also explains how to choose a route that makes the best use of your time.

Planning note: The itineraries below are suggested routes, not confirmation of current accommodation, park fees, flight schedules or availability. Your final programme should be tailored to your dates and travel arrangements.

1. Why choose a 7-day Kenya safari?

Seven days gives you enough time to explore one or two major wildlife regions in depth, or to combine a shorter safari with a coastal holiday. It is a useful duration for first-time visitors, couples, families, photographers and travellers who want a meaningful introduction to Kenya without taking several weeks off work.

A well-designed week can include:

• Big Five wildlife viewing, with opportunities to search for lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and rhinos.

• Scenic game drives across open savannah, wooded habitats, lakes and volcanic landscapes.

• Elephant encounters and views of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli when conditions are favourable.

• Birdwatching, including waterbirds and other species in Kenya’s varied habitats.

• Cultural experiences arranged respectfully with local communities.

• Luxury tented camps, mid-range safari lodges or more economical accommodation.

• A beach extension in Diani, Mombasa, Watamu or Malindi, depending on how the seven days are divided.

The important consideration is that Kenya is geographically diverse. A route covering several distant parks may look impressive on paper but leave little time for wildlife viewing. For most travellers, choosing two or three complementary destinations is more rewarding than attempting to visit every famous park.

For a broader overview of Kenya’s wildlife destinations, see Astute Africa Safaris’ Kenya Safari Parks and Reserves Guide.

3. Best 7-day Kenya safari itineraries at a glance

The following options cover different interests and departure points. The number of nights is illustrative and can be adjusted to match flight times, accommodation availability and your preferred pace.

A useful rule: If your main priority is wildlife, allocate more nights to the parks. If your main priority is a safari-and-beach holiday, reserve enough time for the coast and choose transport that avoids unnecessary backtracking.

4. Itinerary 1: The classic 7-day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari

Best for: First-time visitors, Big Five enthusiasts, couples and wildlife photographers.

This route combines the famous savannahs of the Maasai Mara with the Rift Valley scenery and wildlife of Lake Nakuru. It offers a varied safari without trying to cover the whole country.

Why choose this itinerary? It combines extended time in the Maasai Mara with a second wildlife habitat. It is especially appropriate when wildlife is the main reason for visiting Kenya.

What to consider: Road journeys take time, and this route does not include the coast. If beach relaxation is essential, consider replacing Lake Nakuru with a coastal extension or choosing a fly-in arrangement.

5. Itinerary 2: A 7-day Maasai Mara safari for big cats and photography

Best for: Wildlife photographers, nature enthusiasts, couples and travellers who prefer fewer transfers.

If lions, leopards, cheetahs and dramatic savannah scenes are the main attraction, you do not necessarily need to visit several parks. Staying longer in the Maasai Mara can offer a more relaxed experience and more opportunities to explore different areas.

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi; overnight in the city or connect to a scheduled safari flight if practical.

• Day 2: Travel to the Maasai Mara, settle into camp and take an afternoon game drive.

• Day 3: Early-morning and afternoon game drives, with a break during the heat of the day.

• Day 4: Explore different areas of the reserve with your guide, focusing on wildlife behaviour and photography.

• Day 5: Continue game drives or choose an optional balloon safari, subject to availability and extra charges.

• Day 6: Enjoy a final full or partial safari day, with time to relax at camp.

• Day 7: Fly or drive back to Nairobi for your onward journey.

For photographers, consider a camp location, vehicle arrangement and guide with experience in wildlife photography. Ask about charging facilities, camera support, vehicle window arrangements and whether a private vehicle is available.

The Great Migration usually moves through the greater Mara–Serengeti ecosystem seasonally, but its exact timing varies. No operator can guarantee a river crossing, predator encounter or particular animal sighting.

6. Itinerary 3: A 7-day Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East safari

Best for: Elephant lovers, landscape photographers, repeat visitors and travellers connecting their safari with Kenya’s coast.

This southern circuit offers a different character from the Maasai Mara. Amboseli is known for elephants and Kilimanjaro views, while Tsavo’s extensive landscapes offer volcanic scenery, springs and broad wildlife habitats.

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi and overnight.

• Day 2: Travel to Amboseli National Park and enjoy an afternoon game drive.

• Day 3: Spend a full day in Amboseli looking for elephants, plains wildlife and mountain views when the weather permits.

• Day 4: Travel to Tsavo West, with a game drive or selected sightseeing depending on arrival time.

• Day 5: Explore Tsavo West, potentially including Mzima Springs if the itinerary and park conditions allow.

• Day 6: Transfer to Tsavo East for a game drive and overnight stay.

• Day 7: Continue towards Mombasa or another coastal destination, or return to Nairobi if that better suits your flights.

This route is particularly practical for travellers who want to finish their holiday at the coast. However, combining all three parks in seven days involves several transfers, so a more relaxed alternative is to focus on Amboseli and Tsavo West or Tsavo East alone.

Can you see Mount Kilimanjaro? Amboseli provides some of Kenya’s best-known views of the mountain, but clouds can obscure the summit. Early mornings often offer favourable viewing conditions, though visibility is never guaranteed.

Can you see the Big Five? These parks contain a variety of large mammals, but no particular combination of sightings is guaranteed. If maximising opportunities to see a wide range of predators is your main objective, compare this route with the Maasai Mara option.

7. Itinerary 4: A 7-day Samburu and Ol Pejeta conservation safari

Best for: Returning visitors, conservation-minded travellers, wildlife enthusiasts and people who want to explore beyond the classic southern circuit.

Northern Kenya offers drier landscapes, distinctive wildlife and a different atmosphere from the Mara’s open plains. A combination of Samburu and Ol Pejeta can introduce travellers to two contrasting conservation landscapes.

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi and overnight.

• Day 2: Travel to Samburu National Reserve.

• Day 3: Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in search of reticulated giraffes, Grevy’s zebras, gerenuks, elephants and predators.

• Day 4: Spend another morning in Samburu before travelling south, or use a full day for a slower wildlife experience.

• Day 5: Arrive in the Ol Pejeta region and explore available wildlife and conservation experiences.

• Day 6: Enjoy game viewing and pre-arranged conservation activities appropriate to the selected conservancy.

• Day 7: Return to Nairobi.

This itinerary may appeal to travellers interested in rhino conservation and the relationship between wildlife, local livelihoods and protected landscapes. Particular experiences and access rules vary by property and conservation area, so confirm inclusions before booking.

For a more extensive northern itinerary, consider Laikipia and additional nights in Samburu. Within seven days, however, travel distances and lodge changes should be carefully managed.

8. Itinerary 5: A family-friendly 7-day Kenya safari

Best for: Parents travelling with children, multigenerational families and travellers who want wildlife combined with a variety of activities.

A successful family safari is not simply an adult itinerary with children added. It should account for children’s ages, drive duration, meal times, accommodation arrangements and the amount of time they can comfortably spend in a safari vehicle.

A possible itinerary is:

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi and settle into a family-friendly hotel.

• Day 2: Travel to Lake Naivasha, with a relaxed afternoon and optional pre-arranged activity.

• Day 3: Enjoy suitable activities in the Naivasha area, such as a boat trip or a guided nature experience where available and age-appropriate.

• Day 4: Travel to the Maasai Mara and enjoy an afternoon game drive if arrival time permits.

• Day 5: Morning and afternoon game drives, with a break at camp between outings.

• Day 6: Enjoy another game drive or a suitable optional cultural or nature activity.

• Day 7: Return to Nairobi for your onward flight.

For younger children, an alternative is to stay in one wildlife area for longer and avoid multiple long road transfers. A private vehicle can also make it easier to adjust departure times and rest breaks.

Before booking, confirm minimum age rules for walking activities, balloon safaris and other experiences. Ask whether family rooms, adjoining rooms, child menus, swimming pools and babysitting services are available rather than assuming all properties offer them.

9. Itinerary 6: A luxury 7-day Kenya safari with fly-in transfers

Best for: Honeymooners, couples, premium travellers, photographers and visitors who value comfort and reduced road travel.

A luxury safari is defined not only by accommodation prices but also by how the experience is organised. Fly-in transfers, private guides, smaller camps, carefully selected locations and flexible game-drive schedules can make a seven-day trip feel more personal.

A possible itinerary is:

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi and stay at a luxury hotel.

• Day 2: Fly to the Maasai Mara and transfer to your selected camp.

• Day 3: Morning and afternoon game drives, with time to enjoy the camp between activities.

• Day 4: Continue exploring the Mara, with optional experiences arranged in advance.

• Day 5: Fly to Diani Beach or return to Nairobi, depending on whether you prefer a safari-only holiday or a beach extension.

• Day 6: If choosing Diani, enjoy the beach, spa facilities or a marine excursion.

• Day 7: Transfer to the appropriate airport for your onward journey.

For a full seven-day safari focused on wildlife, you can instead spend most of the week in two carefully selected safari regions. For a seven-day safari-and-beach package, the number of safari nights will necessarily be shorter.

When comparing luxury packages, ask whether the quoted price includes scheduled or private flights, luggage limits, park and conservancy fees, airport transfers, drinks, laundry, optional activities and any applicable taxes.

10. Itinerary 7: A 7-day Kenya safari and Diani Beach holiday

Best for: Honeymooners, families, couples, beach lovers and travellers wanting both wildlife and relaxation.

Diani is one of Kenya’s best-known beach destinations, with white sand, warm Indian Ocean waters, resort accommodation and marine excursions. Combining Diani with a safari can provide a balanced holiday, although seven days requires careful allocation of nights.

Suggested seven-day itinerary: Amboseli, Tsavo and Diani

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi and overnight.

• Day 2: Travel to Amboseli and enjoy an afternoon game drive.

• Day 3: Morning game drive and additional time exploring Amboseli.

• Day 4: Transfer to Tsavo West or Tsavo East, depending on the route and selected accommodation.

• Day 5: Enjoy a morning game drive and continue to Diani, or arrange a more convenient transfer based on your departure point.

• Day 6: Relax at Diani Beach or take an optional marine excursion.

• Day 7: Enjoy breakfast and transfer to Ukunda Airport or Mombasa’s Moi International Airport, depending on your onward arrangements.

This itinerary is an active trip with several transfers. If you want more time swimming, relaxing and exploring the coast, consider a shorter safari followed by a longer beach stay.

Alternative: Maasai Mara and Diani by air

For travellers whose priority is the Maasai Mara, a fly-in combination may work better:

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi.

• Days 2–4: Fly to the Maasai Mara for wildlife viewing.

• Day 5: Connect by air towards Diani, subject to available schedules and routing.

• Day 6: Enjoy a full beach day.

• Day 7: Transfer for your onward flight.

This version gives less time in the safari area than the dedicated wildlife itinerary, but it avoids spending much of the holiday on long road transfers.

11. Itinerary 8: A 7-day Kenya safari and Mombasa beach holiday

Best for: Families, coastal holidaymakers, history enthusiasts and visitors who want to combine a safari with time in Mombasa.

Mombasa is more than a beach destination. Travellers can explore the historic Old Town, visit Fort Jesus, enjoy coastal cuisine and spend time at beaches north or south of the city.

For a seven-day holiday, Tsavo is a useful safari partner because it connects with the Mombasa region more naturally than some of Kenya’s more distant wildlife destinations.

Suggested route: Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Mombasa

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi or Mombasa, depending on your international flight.

• Day 2: Travel to Tsavo East or Tsavo West and enjoy a game drive.

• Day 3: Explore the selected park, looking for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and predators.

• Day 4: Transfer to the other Tsavo park if the route and budget permit, or enjoy an additional day in the first park.

• Day 5: Travel to Mombasa and settle into your hotel.

• Day 6: Enjoy a beach day or explore Mombasa Old Town and Fort Jesus.

• Day 7: Transfer to the airport or continue your coastal holiday.

If you are already staying in Mombasa, the safari can begin from the coast instead of Nairobi. That may reduce unnecessary backtracking, depending on the selected parks and flight arrangements.

For travellers with a stronger interest in wildlife, spend more nights in Tsavo. For families prioritising the beach, choose one safari area and allocate more time to the coast.

12. Itinerary 9: A 7-day Kenya safari and Watamu beach holiday

Best for: Marine-life enthusiasts, couples, families, snorkellers and travellers who prefer a quieter coastal setting.

Watamu offers a combination of beaches, marine activities, coastal forests and nearby heritage attractions. It can be paired with a safari, but a seven-day holiday needs realistic travel planning.

Suggested itinerary: Maasai Mara and Watamu

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi and overnight.

• Day 2: Fly to the Maasai Mara or travel by road, depending on budget and preferences.

• Day 3: Enjoy a full day of game viewing.

• Day 4: Take a morning game drive and connect towards the coast, where flight schedules permit.

• Day 5: Relax in Watamu or arrange a marine excursion.

• Day 6: Explore Watamu Marine National Park, Mida Creek or a nearby cultural and nature attraction, depending on availability and conditions.

• Day 7: Transfer to Malindi Airport or Mombasa, as appropriate for your onward travel arrangements.

For a more coast-focused holiday, replace the Mara with Tsavo East or Tsavo West. This may simplify the overland route, although actual journey times depend on the starting point, roads and accommodation.

What can you do in Watamu? Depending on conditions and your chosen operator, activities may include snorkelling, diving, boat trips, kayaking, visits to Mida Creek and excursions to nearby heritage sites. Marine activities are weather- and tide-dependent.

13. Itinerary 10: A 7-day Kenya safari and Malindi beach holiday

Best for: Couples, families, beach enthusiasts, cultural travellers and visitors who want marine attractions alongside wildlife.

Malindi offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere, marine activities and cultural heritage. It can be combined with a safari for travellers who want a more varied holiday than a conventional beach stay.

Suggested itinerary: Tsavo East and Malindi

• Day 1: Arrive in Nairobi or the coast, depending on your flights.

• Day 2: Travel to Tsavo East and enjoy an afternoon game drive.

• Day 3: Explore Tsavo East with morning and afternoon wildlife viewing.

• Day 4: Travel towards Malindi and check into your beach accommodation.

• Day 5: Relax on the beach or enjoy a marine excursion.

• Day 6: Explore selected local attractions, such as Malindi’s heritage sites or nearby Gede Ruins, depending on opening times and arrangements.

• Day 7: Transfer to Malindi Airport or Mombasa for your onward journey.

For travellers who want the Maasai Mara rather than Tsavo, consider a fly-in arrangement. This can reduce road travel, but flights, connections and transfer costs need to be checked for your dates.

Malindi and Watamu can also be combined into a single coastal stay, as they are relatively close to each other. Choose your base according to the accommodation style, beach experience and activities you prefer.

See The Best Kenya Beach and Safari Holiday for more coastal combinations.

14. Itinerary 11: A 7-day safari starting from Mombasa, Diani, Watamu or Malindi

Not every traveller begins a Kenya holiday in Nairobi. Some visitors spend several nights at a coastal resort before deciding to add a safari, while others arrive through Mombasa and want to combine wildlife viewing with their beach stay.

The most suitable itinerary depends on where you are staying and whether you want to return to the same hotel after the safari.

For all four departure points, clarify whether the seven days include the beach nights, the safari nights or both. Also confirm transfer arrangements, luggage requirements for light aircraft and whether the final transfer will connect comfortably with your flight.

Read the dedicated guide to Safari Expeditions from the Kenyan Coast.

15. Which 7-day Kenya safari is best for your interests?

Use this comparison to narrow down your choices before requesting a personalised quote.

The best route is not necessarily the one with the greatest number of parks. It is the one that gives you enough time to enjoy the places you have travelled to see.

16. How much does a 7-day Kenya safari cost?

The cost of a seven-day Kenya safari varies according to the season, accommodation, number of travellers, park fees, transport, route and whether the trip includes a beach holiday.

A budget-conscious safari using shared transport or simpler accommodation will usually cost less than a private safari with premium lodges and internal flights. Safari-and-beach packages also vary according to the coastal hotel, meal plan and number of nights at the beach.

Main factors affecting your budget

• Accommodation: Campsites, budget lodges, mid-range tented camps and luxury lodges have different price levels.

• Transport: Shared safari vehicles, private 4×4 Land Cruisers and scheduled or charter flights have different costs.

• Park and conservancy fees: Charges depend on the destination, visitor category, travel dates and applicable regulations.

• Season: Accommodation and flight prices can vary significantly between travel periods.

• Group size: Private vehicle and guide costs can be spread across more people when travelling together.

• Activities: Balloon safaris, specialist guides, private excursions and some cultural experiences may cost extra.

• Beach accommodation: A basic coastal hotel, a full-board resort and a private luxury villa have very different budgets.

• International travel: International flights, visas or entry authorisations, travel insurance and personal expenses may not be included in a safari quotation.

Budget, mid-range and luxury options

I recommend avoiding a single fixed price claim unless it is based on a current, clearly defined package. When comparing quotations, ask for the total price per person, the number of nights, room-sharing assumptions, included park fees, transport, meals, taxes and exclusions.

You can explore Astute Africa Safaris’ Safari and Beach Holiday in Kenya for an example of the type of combined experience to consider. Confirm current rates and package inclusions directly before booking.

17. Where should you stay during a 7-day Kenya safari?

Your accommodation should match your budget, preferred level of comfort, interests and route.

Budget camps and lodges: Suitable for travellers who prioritise game drives and want to keep accommodation expenses manageable. Check room facilities, meal arrangements, location and the distance to park gates.

Mid-range lodges and tented camps: Often a good balance of comfort, setting and value. They may offer en-suite rooms or tents, restaurants, lounges and organised activities.

Luxury camps and lodges: Can offer spacious suites or tents, personalised service, high-quality dining and distinctive locations. Some camps are in private conservancies, where activities and access rules may differ from those in national reserves.

Coastal resorts and villas: For Diani, Mombasa, Watamu and Malindi, compare beachfront access, room types, meal plans, family facilities, marine activities and airport transfers.

Always check whether your chosen property is inside a national park or reserve, in a private conservancy, or outside the protected area. Its location affects transfer times and the way game drives are organised.

For accommodation research, see Masai Mara Safari Lodges and Camps and Kenya Beach Holidays: Best Beach Hotels and Safaris.

18. When is the best time for a 7-day Kenya safari?

Kenya is a year-round safari destination, but weather, vegetation, wildlife movements and travel costs change throughout the year.

• Generally drier periods: Often offer easier road conditions and good opportunities for wildlife viewing, although local conditions vary.

• Green and wetter periods: Can provide beautiful scenery, lush landscapes and excellent birdwatching, but some roads may become difficult.

• Wildebeest migration season: The Maasai Mara may receive migrating herds during part of the year, depending on rainfall and grazing conditions. Exact timing and river crossings are unpredictable.

• Coastal beach holidays: Can be enjoyed throughout the year, although rainfall, sea conditions and visibility for marine activities vary.

For a safari-and-beach holiday, the best dates are those that balance wildlife priorities with the kind of coastal experience you want.

Read the full Best Time to Visit Africa Guide before finalising your travel dates.

19. Should you choose a private safari or a group safari?

A private safari gives you more control over your schedule, vehicle, stops and pace. It is often attractive for families, couples, photographers and travellers with specific interests.

A group-joining safari can lower costs by sharing transport and other expenses with fellow travellers. However, departures, accommodation choices and daily schedules may be less flexible.

Before deciding, ask:

• Is the safari private or shared?

• Is the vehicle dedicated to your group?

• How many passengers will be in the vehicle?

• Are window seats guaranteed?

• Can the itinerary be adjusted?

• Are park fees, meals and accommodation included?

• Are there minimum departure numbers or age restrictions?

The best option depends on your group size, budget and preferred travel style rather than on one arrangement being universally superior.

20. What should you pack for a 7-day Kenya safari?

Pack for both warm days and cooler early mornings, particularly in highland and open savannah regions.

Useful items include:

• Lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral colours.

• A warm fleece or jacket for early-morning game drives.

• Comfortable closed shoes.

• Sun protection, including a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.

• Insect repellent.

• Binoculars and a camera with spare batteries or charging equipment.

• Personal medication and basic toiletries.

• A reusable water bottle where appropriate.

• Swimwear and beach clothing for coastal extensions.

• Travel documents, insurance information and any required entry authorisations.

For fly-in safaris, check the airline’s luggage allowance and whether soft-sided bags are required. Luggage limits can be stricter than on road safaris.

Consult your healthcare professional or an appropriate travel-health service well before departure for advice relevant to your itinerary.

21. Practical questions to ask before booking

A reliable itinerary should make the travel arrangements clear before payment.

Transport and timing

• Where does the safari begin and end?

• How long are the expected road transfers?

• Are domestic flights included?

• Is the final transfer coordinated with your international flight?

Accommodation and meals

• Which camps or lodges are included?

• Are alternative properties proposed if the first choice is unavailable?

• What meal plan is provided?

• Are child rates or family rooms available?

Wildlife and activities

• Which park and conservancy fees are included?

• How many game drives are planned?

• Are optional activities included or charged separately?

• Are cultural visits arranged respectfully and with appropriate local participation?

Payment and booking terms

• What deposit is required?

• When is the remaining balance due?

• Which payment methods are accepted?

• What are the cancellation, amendment and refund terms?

• Is travel insurance recommended or required?

Review the company’s Terms and Conditions carefully before confirming your trip.

22. Why plan your Kenya safari with Astute Africa Safaris?

A safari is more rewarding when the route, accommodation and activities are selected around the traveller’s interests and practical needs.

Astute Africa Safaris helps travellers explore tailored Kenya safari and holiday possibilities, from wildlife-focused journeys to combined safari-and-beach experiences. When discussing your itinerary, share your travel dates, arrival airport, number of people, accommodation preferences and the wildlife or coastal activities you most want to experience.

A useful itinerary proposal should explain:

• Why each destination has been selected.

• How many nights you will spend in each location.

• What transport is planned between destinations.

• Which accommodation options are proposed.

• What is included in the quoted price.

• Which activities are optional or subject to availability.

• Whether the itinerary allows enough time to enjoy the safari without excessive travel.

Rather than selecting a package solely by its headline price, compare the full arrangements and choose the itinerary that fits your priorities.

23. Frequently asked questions about a 7-day Kenya safari

24. Plan your 7-day Kenya safari with a personalised itinerary

A 7-day Kenya safari can be a classic wildlife adventure, a photographic journey, a family holiday, a luxury fly-in experience or a combination of safari and beach relaxation.

For the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, prioritise wildlife diversity. For Amboseli and Tsavo, consider elephants, mountain scenery and southern Kenya’s landscapes. For Samburu and Ol Pejeta, explore northern wildlife and conservation. For a coastal holiday, combine selected safari nights with the beaches of Diani, Mombasa, Watamu or Malindi.

The most memorable trip is not necessarily the one that covers the most ground. It is the one that allows you to enjoy the landscapes, wildlife and experiences that matter most to you.
