Overview

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.

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.
