The Tour
Amboseli and Masai Mara are two marvellous destinations in Kenya that are guaranteed to blow your mind, offering extraordinary and memorable experiences!
Located near the Tanzanian border, the Amboseli National Park boasts breathtaking views of the famous Mount Kilimanjaro, a beautiful backdrop to view the majestic “Big Five.” Photographers and nature lovers alike are spoilt for choice as they encounter the “Big Five”—the large elephant herds, tawny lions, leopards, the temperamental buffalo, and the elusive rhino in their natural habitat.
Additionally, Amboseli is home to a large variety of animal and bird species, including zebras, cheetahs, giraffes, pelicans, and kingfishers. The acacia woodlands, swamps, and the vast savannah plains, along with the wildlife, create the perfect setting for visitors keen on wildlife adventures.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is a photographer’s and wildlife enthusiast’s paradise! The renowned Reserve, located in southwestern Kenya, shares a border with Tanzania, connecting you to the famous Serengeti.
Each destination offers a distinguished natural setting, be it the stunning grasslands of Masai Mara or the vast savannah of Amboseli. This expedition ensures memorable moments with incredible flora and fauna.
