Highlights:
- Meet the Masai Warriors
- Masai Mara Game Reserve
- Flamingos & Elephant Orphanage
- Family safari to Kenya
In bustling Nairobi you meet the animals supported through local conservation projects for giraffe and elephants. Your safari-properly begins at the Naro Moru River where Mt Kenya towers in the distance. The nearby Sweetwaters Game Reserve offers excellent game viewing, an encounter with rescued chimpanzees and a tame rhino! Onwards to the Rift Valley lakes - Nakuru to see flamingos and rhino; Naivasha to view hippo from a cruise boat (optional).
You’ll descend into the Great Rift Valley and the rolling grasslands of the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve. Sightings of the ‘Big 9’ (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, cheetah, giraffe, zebra and hippo) are more or less guaranteed here, as are herds of wildebeest which roam across the plains. You will also meet some of the semi-nomadic Masai tribesman to learn about their fascinating culture - including a lesson in how to throw a Masai hunting spear - stand well back please!
