Detailed Trip Description
Kenya is home to one of the greatest wildlife populations in the world. Here you will find some species unique only to Kenya, some species whose lineage goes back long before the first ancestor of mankind evolved in East Africa, and many rare species. Kenya’s first national park was established in 1946 and Kenya now boasts of a system of more than 50 parks. On this safari you have the opportunity to visit some of these parks and view the “Big Five” named by the big game hunters and now cherished by avid photographers: elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion and leopard.
