Our
9 Days/ 8 Nights Kenya Road Safari is
an exciting wildlife holiday Safari for travelers with
limited time away from home yet who desire an in-depth
safari experience. Devoted exclusively to Kenya, in

African
safari is about the animals…thundering herds,
thousands of creatures on the plains, in the craters
and in the jungle. All of Africa pulses with the sights
and sounds of the last true paradise left on earth.
But
sometimes there can be more to a safari than just wildlife.
On that rare and wonderful occasion, there can be splendor
and elegance beyond your wildest imagination. Below
we provide details of this programme and the tale of
