Magnificent wildlife, excellent accommodations and warm friendly open-hearted people! Your first night will be in cosmopolitan Nairobi. The safari starts with a unique “tree hotel” experience which comes alive at dusk, an adventure in it self. Proceed to Lake Nakuru National Park famous for its flamingos, leopards and rhinos. The last two nights of safari are at the famous Masai Mara, the most beautiful of all the Kenyan wildlife strongholds. Certainly it is the last place where huge concentrations of game can still be seen in their old abundance – all the ‘big five are here: elephant, black rhino, buffalo, leopard and –above all – lion.
This safari can be combined with a Tanzanian Safari
