Parks you'll visit

Amboseli

Amboseli

Amboseli is the place to see Africa's elephants up close, with large family herds moving between green swamps beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. Early mornings often bring the clearest views of its snow-capped peak.

Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha brings a change of pace: a boat ride among hippos and fish eagles, a guided walk among zebras and giraffes on Crescent Island, and the chance to cycle through the towering gorges of Hell's Gate National Park.

Lake Nakuru

Lake Nakuru

Lake Nakuru National Park is one of Kenya's best places to see both black and white rhinos, along with Rothschild's giraffes and resident lions. Game drives follow the lake shore and climb to viewpoints with sweeping views over the Rift Valley floor.

Maasai Mara

Your days in the Maasai Mara are spent on game drives across open savannah, searching for lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and buffalo. From July to October, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra arrive on the Great Migration and cross the Mara River in one of nature's great spectacles.
