Sweeping savannahs, lush rainforest, snow-capped peaks, panoramic lakes… even geysers! The scenery will dazzle you as much as the rich variety of wildlife on this very complete adventure through the heart of Kenya.

You’ll feel the excitement of getting up close to the big game as well as unusual varieties like orynx, gerenuk and the reticulated giraffe. Plus, there will be opportunities to visit and learn about the Samburu and Maasai people.

So get ready for a riding, boating, walking and even biking safari experience. With plenty of stories to take back home!

The magic begins with views of world-famous Mt. Kilimanjaro at Amboseli National Park. Vast herds of elephant, buffalo, hippo and waterfowl signal the start of your safari adventure.

Next… everything about Aberdare National Park is different. It’s upcountry and lush, dotted with extreme waterfalls. Even your lodging is unique – it’s a tree hotel! From your balcony, you’ll be able to view the active game below.

Views of snow-capped Mt. Kenya means you’ve arrived at the Samburu National Reserve You’ll be treated to magical creatures here like the Somali ostrich and Grevy’s zebra. Plus, lion, leopard, cheetah elephant and buffalo. Take time to meet the Samburu people at their villages and learn about their ancient culture.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is famous for its black rhino and the only chimpanzee sanctuary in Kenya. You’ll stay at the Sweetwaters luxury tented campground with close views of the nearby animals at a local watering hole.

Next, Lake Nakuru beckons. Due to some progressive natural factors like increasing water levels , the flamingo numbers have been reducing  but the park itself remains  stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills and euphorbia trees dot the lake. Lake Nakuru is known for hosting some endangered but beautiful species. You’re sure to see rare Rothschild’s Giraffe along with white rhino, especially along the lakeshore. The park is also a sanctuary to one of Kenya’s largest populations of black rhino. So get your camera ready!

Then it’s on to Lake Naivasha National Park for lots of bird watching, plus hippos and small game.  Here you’ll also take a walking safari at Crescent Island and then a most unique exploration – we’ll bicycle safari at Hell’s Gate National Park, Safely pedal right by zebra, giraffe, impala and other small game. Lots of wonderful photo opportunities!

Finally, you’ll arrive at our ultimate destination, the Masai Mara We’ll spend 3 days here at perhaps the most diverse and abundant wildlife reserve in Africa. Be on the lookout for the Big Five, plus numerous other species. The landform of the Mara is at once beautiful and arresting with its acacia trees spread throughout this vast savannah. You’ll have the opportunity to take unlimited game drives throughout your stay here.

If you wish, for an optional fee, visit a Masai village or take a balloon ride over the great reserve, viewing the vast herds below. Then it’s back to Nairobi.
