This six-day journey takes you deep into the heart of Kenya’s Rift Valley, beginning with a scenic drive through dramatic escarpments to Lake Nakuru National Park, a sanctuary for endangered rhinos and birdlife.

From there, head to the expansive plains of Maasai Mara, where wildlife roams freely and every game drive offers something new. For those seeking a different perspective, optional experiences include a hot air balloon flight over the savannah at dawn or a guided cultural visit with the Maasai community.
