Then to Lake Nakuru National Park over 400 bird’s species and the best place to spot Rhinos. You’ll end up at Masai Mara, Kenya’s most famous and finest game sanctuary. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.

Lake Nakuru is a bird and animal watchers’ haven. The Park has over 400 bird species. These include herons, pelicans, storks and the iconic African fish eagle.
The Maasai Mara is home to the Masai giraffe, Baboons, Warthogs, Bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted Hyena, Topi, Impala, Hartebeests, Wildebeest, Elephants, Buffalos, Zebra, Hippo, Cheetah.
Set alongside the Ewaso Nyiro River, Kenya's biggest northern river, Samburu has the lion's share of wildlife. Besides big cats and African wild dogs, you're likely to see some of the rare northern species such as Grevy's zebra, the Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, the long-necked gerenuk, Guenther's dik-dik and the beisa oryx, collectively known as the Samburu Special Six.

One week Kenya safari

09-Mar-2022

We have had a truly memorable week-and-a-bit in Kenya, staying in luxurious accommodations and having many close encounters with animals we have never seen in the wild before, with the help of your hugely efficient guide. We were really impressed by our guide. As well as being highly knowledgeable, capable and funny, he took incredibly good care of us - in particular he did everything he could to ensure that our little boy enjoyed himself and wasn't bored on the long drives. We really can't thank him enough! - Helen, UK
