More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the vehicle onto red earth that holds the slow history of savanna and highland, while an acacia silhouette cuts the sky. Morning light pulls animals into motion: a giraffe samples leaves like a slow clock, a distant rhino grunts through clumps of grass. Over eight days you travel from Nairobi’s crisp skyline to the conserved plains of Ol Pejeta, the undulating ridges of Lewa, and the wide river-country of the Maasai Mara.
