The journey at a glance
Three of Kenya’s most recognisable safari landscapes come together on this value-focused journey: the open plains of the Masai Mara, the wooded lakeshore of Lake Nakuru and Amboseli’s elephant country beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.
The route is ideal for first-time visitors who want a strong chance of varied wildlife encounters without rushing past the scenery. Camping keeps the experience close to nature while the overland journey reveals the scale and changing character of southern Kenya.
