This is a wonderful small group adventure safari holiday to Kenya, ideal for a first time Africa experience and great value for money!
Kenya is the classic safari destination that everyone thinks of when they picture plains full of zebra and wildebeest, elephants strolling in front of Kilimanjaro .... and of course the palm fringed beaches of the Indian Ocean which can easily be added on to the end of this trip. The wildlife and landscapes are iconic in the Rift Valley and this tour includes amazing birdlife too with flamingo studded lakes and over 400 species found in the area.
The rolling savannah of the Masai Mara is famous for it's big cat sightings and of course the great migration which traverses the plains from July to October each year. This trip stays only in two base locations so you can maximise your time actually game viewing. At Elementaita the lodge is a great place to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery and to explore nearby Lake Nakuru National Park with good numbers of Rhino and Leopard as well as the pink flamingos it is famous for. Basecamp is used in the Masai Mara which is an eco camp with permanent en-suite tented accommodation in the heart of the action in this famous game reserve.
This trip gives you the chance to meet the people of the Rift Valley and see some amazing wildlife without too much travelling around.
