Description

On this exciting 6-day safari you will first head north into the foothills of Mount Kenya and the celebrated Ol Pejeta Conservancy. One of the most successful privately-run conservancies in Kenya and an important protected sanctuary for endangered species; it is home to an astounding variety of wildlife including all the Big Five and Kenya’s only population of chimpanzees. From here we take an excursion to Lake Nakuru National Park, which has the best chance in Kenya to get close to black and white rhino among numerous other species.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the best game reserves in the world, and the plains teem with animals and it’s the stage for the spectacular annual wildebeest migration. In the Great Rift Valley, we visit tranquil and scenic Lake Elmenteita, which with over 350 species offers superb bird-watching.  A huge variety of African animals can be seen on this action-packed safari, and you have an excellent chance of spotting the Big Five: Elephant, Lion, Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino!
