Let your imagination soar
Journey overview
Created especially for wildlife enthusiasts and lovers of the outdoors,
this exceptional adventure touches on at Kenya’s most scenic and
wildlife-rich national parks. Delve deeper into the African bush on the
wide open plains of the Laikipia Plateau with an adventure that breaks
away from the traditional, such as a camel or horseback safari. Kenya’s
most famous safari destination, the Masai Mara, is the iconic finale to
your adventure. Enjoy picturesque landscapes filled with rolling hills
where crimson-clad Maasai warriors tend their herds among vast
numbers of resident wildlife, including the thronging herds of Africa’s
most famous animal spectacle, the Great Wildebeest Migration.
What we love about this journey
The excellent photographic opportunities of central Kenya’s famed
landscape

Highlights of this Itinerary
Experience different forms of safari – walk with a Samburu camel
train or roam the foothills of the Chyulu area on horseback
