An authentic safari in the heart of East Africa, with a private 4×4 and an experienced driver-guide across three of Kenya’s most important national parks. The Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Kilimanjaro in the background make up an experience that compares to nothing else. The programme can optionally end with a few relaxing days on an Indian Ocean beach.
The Kikuyu, Maasai and Swahili peoples shaped the culture of the region over centuries, while the coastal ports were trading hubs with Arabia and India. In the late nineteenth century the country became a British colony and the Mombasa-Uganda railway redrew its geography. Kenya gained independence in 1963 and today is a global reference point for wildlife conservation.
The Masai Mara is famous for its lions, leopards and cheetahs, while the Great Migration of the wildebeest crosses the region roughly between July and October, though it is never guaranteed. At Lake Nakuru you may see rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes and a wealth of birdlife, while Amboseli is the classic place for large elephant herds against Kilimanjaro. In Nairobi, the Karen Blixen Museum and the Sheldrick elephant orphanage are well worth a visit.
Kenyan cooking is built around ugali made from maize flour, sukuma wiki greens and nyama choma grilled meats. In the lodges, meals are usually generous buffets with both international and local options. On the coast, Swahili influence brings seafood with coconut, spices and fresh tropical fruit.
Evenings are spent at the lodge or tented camp, around the fire, with stories from the guides and traditional Maasai dancing. Selected camps offer night game drives, where you discover the nocturnal animals of the savannah. Above all, the African sky without light pollution offers a display of stars that is hard to forget.
