Safari Overview
From the open plains of Masai Mara, the privacy of the Sysambu Conservancy located in the Rift Valley, and the swamps of Amboseli, this safari takes in three of the most picturesque regions in Kenya. It also provides the perfect opportunity to spot the Big-5 and to capture some diverse scenery.
This five days safari will covers the Amboseli National park, Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementaita and Masai Mara game reserve. Amboseli is famous for the snow-capped Kilimanjaro and herds elephants, Lake Naivasha is a fresh water Lake with so many hippos and many water birds. Masai Mara is the heart of Africa safari and famous for the great migration of the wildebeest.
A safari through Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s premier wildlife experiences. This is the best place in Africa to get close to free-ranging elephants. Meet the nomadic Masai tribes people, Africa’s last great warriors.
