For many people, visiting Africa and taking a safari means seeing the “Big 5”. Although not the biggest animals roaming the lands of Africa, they are the most sought-after, famous, and requested animals of visitors to this great land. This tour is designed to take you to the parks with the greatest chances of seeing:

  • Buffalo
  • Lions
  • Elephants
  • Leopards
  • Rhinos

We will take you across a range of landscapes and ecosystems in Kenya, from the riverine wetlands of Samburu to Lake Nakuru – a wildlife haven in the Great African Rift Valley – to the iconic savanna of the Masai Mara. Each landscape offers something different, and your chances of encounters with each of the big five are exceptionally high.

You will be accompanied on your tour by an expert African safari guide who will be dedicated to you and your group only. The tour you take is private and has an element of customization, with additional days in parks of your choice and some flights between locations available. Amendments to the schedule may incur extra costs.

2 nights Samburu | 1 night Lake Nakuru | 3 nights Masai Mara
