This one-week offer takes you through Kenya’s most popular game viewing locations. The tour starts you off to Samburu, a wildlife haven with a scenic semi-arid landscape.

This soda lake on the floor of the rift valley is host to millions of flamingos and an important refuge for endangered species- particularly the Rothschild Giraffe and the black and white rhino.

Fêted as one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”, the Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe.
