Mount Kenya & Rift Valley Lakes
You adventure begins on safari in the Samburu Plains where elephant, buffalo, zebra and giraffe are easy to spot, while lion, cheetah and leopard prefer the cover of the bush. Moving out of the plains you’ll take walks into the rainforest of the lower slopes of Mount Kenya with a naturalist guide. Then travelling west you’ll wonder at the shimmering pink haze of flamingos feasting on Lake Nakuru’s soda-rich waters and the prolific bird life of Lake Naivasha.

The Masai Mara
From the escarpment you’ll descend into The Great Rift Valley to the rolling grasslands of the world renowned Masai Mara reserve. Here the game spotting is outstanding and the reserve is home to an amazing variety of wildlife species. The fitting finale of your trip is a magical walk into the bush with proud Masai guides to spend a night at a bush camp – an unmissable safari experience.
