Dawn breaks across the Rift Valley and Mount Kilimanjaro cuts a patient silhouette against a pink sky. Dust lifts in the wake of a passing jeep; elephants amble toward a swamp as if pulled by the mountain’s gravity. This is the opening act of an eight-day loop that reads like an African primer: Amboseli’s wide plains and Kilimanjaro views, the flamingo-streaked shelves of Nakuru and Bogoria, the geothermal fizz of Lake Bogoria, the sharp cliffs and bike-able canyons of Hell’s Gate, and the thunder of the Masai Mara.
