Tour Description
Get the heart-pounding thrill of a safari while still enjoying the comforts of luxury accommodations on this nine-day Kenya adventure. Depart early morning for a game drive just as the dawn sunlight begins to stir the sleeping lions, zebras, and giraffes. Stop for a delicious lunch mid-day, then it's back out for an afternoon drive on the vast grasslands of the Masai Mara. This is when the elephants, wildebeest, and hippos are most visible as they take to watering holes to cool off. Return to your rooms and sip a sundowner on your private verandah as inky darkness washes over the landscape and the night sounds of the Masai Mara come alive. A gourmet dinner ends each day of this perfect safari adventure.
We offer this tour in lodge accommodation as well as a more intimate luxury safari utilizing Tented Camps specifically set up for you.
