Your safari starts in Nairobi, driving to Amboseli National park, at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. The view of the Amboseli plains, with elephants moving below the snow-capped peaks of Africa’s highest mountain, is one of the most photographed vistas in Africa.
You will continue your journey to Campi ya Kanzi, which lies within the Kuku Group Ranch. The camp is situated in a 400-square-mile piece of private Maasai land, connecting three national parks (Chyulu, Tsavo and Amboseli). The altitude ranges from 3,000 to 6,900 feet, so the land includes a number of different habitats hence the biodiversity is extremely rich. Habitats range from the grasslands of the savanna to green river woodlands and cool mountain forests.
Along with your game drives, walking safaris and bush sundowners, you will learn about the Maasai lifestyle, about their land, their culture and their beliefs. Because Campi ya Kanzi is owned by the local Maasai community, you are guaranteed to enjoy ecotourism in its purest form and play an active role in the conservation of the land and of the Maasai culture. Here you will experience true ethical and solidarity tourism.
Your next destination, Tsavo National park, is one of the world's largest game sanctuaries, covering an area of more than 20,000 sq. km (7,722 sq. miles). Tsavo is a combination of dramatic escarpment landscapes with the raw, untamed flavor of one of Africa's great wilderness areas.
This safari ends on the sandy beaches of Indian Ocean.
