Safari summary

This safari takes participants to the Sarova properties or similar which are located in their own unique space and have a history of their own. Starting with Shaba Game Reserve which was made famous by the Adamsons in the 60s to 80s when they raised lions from the comforts of their camp. This conservation gesture was later to become the widely circulated film dubbed Born Freem signifying the eventual release into the wild, the lions raised in semi-captivity. As for Lake Nakuru National Park, it has held its number one place for over many years as the place where flamingos exist in millions at a time together with another over 400 species of birds. Masai Mara which has since been named one of the New Eight Wonders of the world is ever amazing whether your time of visit is during the Great Migration or not. Along the itinerary travellers will witness some of the most beautiful scenarios Kenya has to offer. Karibu sana! We Never Limit Your Exploration!
