Southbound Kenya Discover Safari- 5 Nights/6 Days
Summary:
This 6-day safari will take you to two of
the world's hot spots for the African Elephant- Amboseli National
Park and Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. As a bonus, you
also visit Tsavo -an outstanding elephant sanctuary in its
own right.
You start off with Maasai Mara, Kenya's most
famous and finest game sanctuary. The Mara offers wildlife
in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe:
over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.
Then to Amboseli, which sits on the lower
slopes of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa's highest. The
animal pictures arising against the dramatic backdrop of the
mountain will thrill the photography enthusiast. You end up
at Tsavo West, where you see elephants, crocodiles, vervet
monkeys, antelope, baboons, giraffes, hippos and lions. The
park is a marvel in terms of geo-physical character and plant
diversity

Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural
world takes place. This is the
annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from
