THE JOURNEY

A little more
than a place to go.

In this tour we will cover the 3 most popular destinations in Kenya - Masai Mara National Reserve (2 nights), Lake Nakuru National Park (1 night) & Amboseli National Park (2 nights). Amboseli national park is second famous after the Maasai Mara in Kenya, mainly because of the spectacular back drop of Africa's highest Mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro also known as "The Roof of Africa" which broods the southern boundary of the park. At 392 sq km, Amboseli is a small park and it lacks the profusion of animal species found in Maasai Mara providing good chance of seeing some of the lager predators. Watching the elephant herd at dawn at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Amboseli national park. Visiting one of the communities and privately run wildlife sanctuaries between Amboseli & the savo national park and taking a bush walk with the Maasai guide.
