A short itinerary packed with interest providing an
exciting overview of Kenya and her wildlife. There
are no age restrictions for children at the lodges,
which makes this an ideal choice for families.
Exclusive buses for sole use of families are available
at a reasonable supplement.
Amboseli is home to an abundance of mammals
and over 400 species of birds. Plains game, lions,
cheetahs and vast herds of elephants wander freely.
The area is dominated by the stunning spectacle of
Mount Kilimanjaro.
At Lake Naivasha there is plenty for all the family
to do. Not only can you go horse riding or cycling,
but the main attractions are the 450 species of
birds which have been recorded in and around this
freshwater lake.
Finally into the world-famous Masai Mara, one of
the world's most enthralling wildlife theaters. The
reserve plays host to countless species, including the
'big five' (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo)
and the incredible spectacle of the annual wildebeest
migration.
