Enjoy Kenya's scenic vistas and magnificent wildlife as you traverse the African plains on an intimate safari adventure. In Swahili, “safari” means journey; to you, it will mean that - and so much more. Explore Kenya, home to incredible wildlife, from cheetahs to wildebeest. Discover the thriving cultures and innumerable natural wonders that make this one of the most popular African countries to visit. Go in search of elephants, lions, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards - collectively known as the “Big 5” and other animals on 13 game drives. Meet a member of the Samburu tribe who opens you up to the culture, folklore, and African traditions. Visit with Rothschild giraffes at the Giraffe Sanctuary. Visit the beautiful Masai Mara National Reserve, and top off a full-day game drive with a traditional dinner in the bush and a Maasai dance performance. These are the plains of Africa, where unparalleled experiences greet you at every turn.
