Enjoy this amazing safari in a customized pop-up roof Gichmak  4×4 Safari Jeep that has: Portable Cooler Box, Binoculars, long-range high-frequency radio, Power Outlets AC 230V, First Aid Kit, a professional safari guide that will ensure you have a memorable safari experience.

Your first stop at the Samburu National Reserve presents unusual species like Grevy’s Zebra and the reticulated giraffe. There’s also plenty of big game here such as lion, leopard, cheetah and buffalo. The reserve is home to the Samburu people whose villages dot the landscape.

Perhaps one of the most unique parks and certainly your most unique lodging is at your next stop, Aberdare National Park. Amidst upcountry rainforest and waterfalls, you’ll be staying at a tree hotel! From your balcony you’ll look out on the park’s wildlife of black rhino, elephant, Cape buffalo, Bongo antelope and much more.

Then we’ll turn and head south to the Rift Valley lakes of Nakuru and Naivasha. Lake Nakuru National Park is a most versatile reserve, home to exotic birds like flamingoes but also a great population of endangered rhinos. Nearby Lake Naivasha and its surrounding parks are a safari treat where we’ll visit the birds and wildlife by jeep, boat, foot, and even bicycle! After our boat safari across the lake, we’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of Crescent Island Game Sanctuary and then take a bicycle ride to Hell’s Gate National Park to get up close to zebra, gazelle, antelope, zebra, and buffalo.

But for game viewing of an even higher order, our final destination, Masa Mara National Reserve is in a class by itself – world-class. This is Kenya’s most popular wildlife park, hosting an unusually large number of big cats. During the migrating season, you’ll see great trains of wildebeest and zebra stretching off to the horizon, a never to be forgotten sight.
