Flying between game parks is the quickest (and kindest) way to travel and Amboseli is our first destination. This is a rich and wooded land where huge herds of elephant amble and leopards rest languidly in the treetops. When the clouds are kind, the snow clad peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro can clearly be seen from the camps.
At the edge of Kenya's arid northern reaches is Samburu… home to all the 'big ones' as well as some peculiar and rare species. The colorfully clad tribes people live the same lifestyle as their forbears and are endlessly eager to mingle with foreigners who visit their ancestral lands.
The safari drum roll reaches a crescendo at the Masai Mara, Kenya's most spectacular game park. The wildlife is here aplenty: lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, rhino… and daily safaris reward with close-up encounters. Here you can hop aboard a hot air balloon, in the soft hours of dawn, and marvel at the birds-eye view of the rolling savannah.
