The mere mention of the word safari is enough to invigorate the adventurous spirit in all of us. With visions of towering giraffes, massive elephants, elegant cheetahs and powerful lions across endless savannas, it is hard not to become instantly enthusiastic. If the thought of a two-week safari can do these things to you, imagine the feeling each day of waking up to the sights and sounds of African wildlife all around you as you embrace a new day of constantly exciting adventure. We will fully immerse ourselves in the safari experience, as we stay in some of the most spectacular wildlife lodges in the world, where watering holes and saltlicks teeming with African mammals will be viewed right from our rooms. With a combination of morning, afternoon and nighttime game drives throughout the safari, you will experience the best that Kenya has to offer. You may even be treated to a bird’s eye view of the massive savanna during an optional hot-air balloon safari over the Masai Mara, observing and photographing migrating wildebeest, grazing giraffe, wading hippos and so much more.
