Kenya Wildlife Safari

Our 8-day Kenya Wildlife Safari gives you the opportunity to explore the wilderness areas in Kenya. It encompasses two of East Africa's top wildlife parks: Amboseli National Park and the Maasai Mara. The safari offers the best accommodation in the area in exclusive boutique camps. All the parks will offer you a rich wildlife experience as well as cultural encounters.

  On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport you will be met by our representative and transferred to Tamambo Karen Blixen Coffee Garden Restaurant which is located in a beautiful tranquil garden setting for lunch.

  After lunch, enjoy a private visit to David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage which is dedicated to the protection of Africa’s wildlife. Orphaned animals, particularly elephant and rhino, are hand-raised with the intention of reintroducing them back into the wild. Here, you will be able to interact with the small elephants and learn about this worthwhile project and the importance of the elephant in Africa’s conservation efforts.  There is also the possibility to adopt one of the baby elephants and become ‘foster parents’ of the same.
