This complete long-haul safari begins in Northern Kenya on the wide plains of Samburu National Reserve, home to hundreds of elephants, lion, leopard, and cheetah. At what another park would you find the unique oryx, gerenuk, and Somali Ostrich? Journeying on to central Kenya, the grasslands and bush of Ol Pejeta Wildlife Sanctuary are a treasure of endangered species like rhino and chimpanzee. And close-by Aberdare National Park is a rich, mountain paradise of rainforest and waterfalls. You’ll be staying up in a tree hotel, viewing the wildlife below as it gathers at nearby watering holes. To enjoy still more pink flamingoes, we’ll stop at Lake Bogoria National Reserve, with its colorful birdlife and dramatic hot springs and geysers.
Lake Naivasha and its surrounding parks will set us sailing by hippos and bicycling to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park for close viewing of grazing zebra, giraffe, and antelope. For a different but delightful perspective, we’ll take a guided walking safari over to little Crescent Island Game Sanctuary and cormorants, pelicans, waterbuck, and gazelle we’ll find there.
And then the grandest park of them all – Masai Mara National Reserve – world-famous and Kenya’s most popular. You’ll travel over hills and savannah country viewing the densest concentration of wildlife in this part of Africa. Our stay here will stretch over several days in this wonderful reserve so get your camera ready.

We’ve seen and experienced a lot this past week, but now it’s time to set our sights for the jewel in the crown of Kenya’s wildlife parks – Masai Mara National Reserve.
We will arrive at the park in time for an afternoon game drive, the first of many here.

If you’re seeing great processions of wildebeests and zebra marching through the reserve, you’re most likely here during the migrating season – July through October. That’s when vast herds invade the park, crossing the Mara River in a never-ending search for sustenance.
We’ll picnic by the Mara River, site of the crossing and look for hippos and crocodiles plying the muddy waters.
For an up-close cultural encounter, we offer an optional visit to the local Maasai tribespeople in their nearby village. You’ll be able to learn about their lifestyle and perhaps purchase some colorful beaded souvenirs.
