Stay in stunning safari camps and encounter spectacular wildlife in two of Kenya’s top national parks.
Your trip starts in Nairobi with two nights at Kwetu hotel, complete with a day exploring Nairobi and it’s surrounding national parks. From here, you will fly straight into the Maasai Mara for a two night stay in Kenya’s most famous safari spot. Enjoy game drives day and night, bush breakfast and a variety of other activities as you spend your time spotting incredible wildlife including lions, zebra, leopards and hippos as well as the chance to experience the incredible relationship of the Maasai tribe with the natural world. Next, you will head to Amboseli National Park which is famous for its herds of elephant and views of Mount Kilimanjaro across the border into Tanzania. You will spend two nights here, enjoying a safari in a different location and soaking up the stunning wildlife and surroundings. Head out on game drives, take a guided walk to learn about the local Maasai community or simply relax in the swimming pool. The only guarantee is you won’t want to leave.

I just returned from Kenya on safari and it was off the charts. Simon was helpful as ever at getting the trip scoped out, nailed it down and finalised. The camps were all of high quality and the logistics impeccably managed.
