OVERVIEW From the slopes of Aberdare to the bank of Ewaso Ng'iro river in Kenya, and home of kamunyak, a lioness famous for adopting oryx calves to the floor of the great rift valley where the flamingo's throng the lake’s shore in thousands. The 8 days Great Kenya Safari will take you to different premium parks within the country from which the chances of seeing all the big 5 is almost guaranteed. The safari blenders the nature, wildlife, landscape and culture in a way like none other. The visit to masai mara game reserve is one that will always remain in your memory especially if it is during the migration time when thousands of gnus and herds of other animals are crossing the flooded mara river.
