This trip is a 6-day fly-in safari taking in Kenya's most well-known national parks, the Amboseli National Park and the Maasai Mara. An unforgettable and exclusive wildlife experience will be had on day and night game drives and guided bush walks in private conservancies. You can also enjoy bush breakfasts, cultural visits, hot air balloon safaris and sundowners.
Amboseli is most known for its unrivalled views of the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro as well as its elephants, with over 1500 elephants in the park's eco-system, some of which are the largest in Africa. Here you will stay in Tortilis Camp, situated within its own private 30,000 acre area, bordering the national park. Then fly by light aircraft to the Maasai Mara, famous for its vast plains and the annual wildebeest migration which arrives in the Mara between June/July and Oct/ Nov. Year-round though, the park offers an outstanding game experience with some of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the continent. Your accommodation for 3 nights will be Elephant Pepper Camp, situated in a private conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The Camp is an exclusive safari-style tented camp, which pays homage to the traditional safari experience of old.
