The Experience

Your journey begins with the legendary Maasai Mara, where endless grasslands create one of Africa's most spectacular wildlife settings. Spend time exploring the reserve and looking for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, cheetahs and other wildlife. From the Mara, the landscape changes as you travel through the Great Rift Valley towards Lake Nakuru. Here, the experience becomes quieter and more varied, with opportunities to see rhinos, giraffes, buffalo and abundant birdlife. The final chapter takes you to Lake Naivasha. After days of game drives, slow down on the water with a scenic boat ride while hippos and birdlife surround you. It is a different side of Kenya, and the perfect way to end the journey.
