Discover the thriving cultures and innumerable natural wonders that make this one of the most popular African countries to visit. Go in search of elephants, lions, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards – collectively known as the “Big 5” and other animals on 13 game drives. Meet a member of the Samburu tribe who opens you up to the culture, folklore, and African traditions. Visit with Rothschild giraffes at the Giraffe Sanctuary. Visit the beautiful Masai Mara Game Reserve, and top off a full day game drive with a traditional dinner in the bush and a Masai dance performance. These are the plains of Africa, where unparalleled experiences greet you at every turn.
