The Experience
This is a journey across three very different sides of Kenya. The adventure begins in the Maasai Mara, where wide-open grasslands create one of Africa's most famous wildlife settings. Spend time following the movements of lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, cheetahs and other wildlife. From the Mara, travel through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru. The landscape changes dramatically, and the focus shifts towards rhinos, waterbirds and wildlife around the lake and surrounding woodland. The final chapter takes you south to Amboseli. Here, enormous elephant herds move across dusty plains with Mount Kilimanjaro rising in the distance. Sunrise and sunset game drives create some of the most memorable views in Kenya.
