KENYAThe Original Safari Destination

“All I wanted to do was get back to Kenya,” said Ernest Hemingway. You will feel the same

way too! Join the vibrant club of those intoxicated with Africa’s magic, from its beautiful

landscapes and sunsets, to animals and people whose lives have changed little over the

centuries. Begin at the arid fringes of Samburu teeming with rare wildlife, watch an endless

parade of animals drink at the waterhole of your tree hotel and continue to the fl amingo-lined

shores of Lake Nakuru, culminating on the plains of the Maasai Mara, Kenya’s most prolifi c

wildlife park. This is the original safari destination in Africa, one for all the senses—touch,

hear, see, taste, smell, and forget to breathe with all the wonders surrounding you!

Gaze upon the graceful gerenuk antelope that spends much of its time on its rear legs, foraging in the trees.

Often referred to as the ‘Kingdom of Lions,’ these powerful hunters dominate the grasslands, with cheetah, leopard, hyena and jackal in tow. A cornucopia of delights for bird watchers, over 500 resident bird species have been recorded. Exciting optional activities (at additional cost) include witnessing dawn over the Serengeti from a hot air balloon or fl ying to Lake Victoria to fi sh for giant Nile perch.
