Pyramids of Giza Hero

Iconic Egypt and Kenya Safari

Inspirational city, cruise and safari trip to Egypt and Kenya

History, culture, wildlife, conservation and more. This 13-night exploration through Egypt and Kenya brings you up-close with some of Egypt's most famous and historical sites and Africa's most fascinating wildlife. Tick the Great Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza off your bucket-list before cruising along the Nile to take in more ancient sites along the river banks. After exploring Egypt you will journey to Kenya, taking in the uniquely different wildlands of Laikipia Plateau and the Maasai Mara. Witness endangered white and black rhino in the lesser travelled North, and the iconic Wildebeest Migration in the Mara's grasslands.
