The Experience

Your safari begins as Nairobi fades behind you and the landscape opens into the Great Rift Valley. The journey to the Maasai Mara is part of the experience, with changing scenery, dramatic viewpoints and rural Kenya along the way. As you enter the Mara, the landscape transforms into endless grasslands. This is one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations, and every game drive brings the possibility of a new encounter. Follow elephant herds across the plains, watch predators prepare for the hunt and enjoy the quiet moments when the savannah seems to stretch forever. After your time in the Mara, continue towards Lake Nakuru. The scenery changes again as you enter the Rift Valley ecosystem. Lake Nakuru is known for its birdlife, dramatic landscapes and important populations of rhino. Game drives here offer a different perspective of Kenya's wildlife and create a fitting final chapter to your safari. Four days later, you return to Nairobi with memories of two very different Kenyan landscapes and the wildlife that connects them.

Your Teyezilla Moment

The Mara has a way of making time slow down. You are watching the endless savannah when suddenly a lion appears in the distance, the vehicle goes quiet, and everyone simply watches. These are the moments that stay with you long after you leave Kenya.
