Description
Experience an 8-day safari to Amboseli, which sits on the lower slopes of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest – whose peak lies across the border in Tanzania. It is quite an experience to see Kilimanjaro hovering above the clouds in the early morning, also home to herds of Elephants, continuing to Samburu Reserve on the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River. On the other side of the river is the Buffalo Springs National Reserve in Northern Kenya, ending with Maasai Mara, home of the great migration, the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna – lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and vultures.
