Mara, Serengeti and the crater
The classic East African safari in one seamless journey — the Masai Mara, the Serengeti plains, the Ngorongoro crater and Africa's greatest wildlife spectacles.
East Africa
The classic East African safari — the Masai Mara's great herds, Amboseli's elephants, mountain views and warm Maasai hospitality.
Kenya is the birthplace of the modern safari. Its great conservation areas — above all the Masai Mara and Amboseli — deliver the wildlife sightings travellers dream about.
The Masai Mara brings the great river crossings of the wildebeest migration in the dry months, while Amboseli sets herds of elephants against the backdrop of snow-capped Kilimanjaro.
Safaris here run with experienced guides, comfortable camps and lodges, and easy domestic flight or road connections from Nairobi.
