Big Cat Safari - Kenya Family Holiday

7 Days - from $2727

Lake Nakuru Park and the Masai MaraSee lion, elephant, hippo, giraffe and rhinoStay in small bush camp

Kenya is bisected by the Rift Valley and is a land of amazing beauty. From our lodge at Lake Elementaita we can walk to the lakeshore and enjoy the fantastic flamingo and birdlife that abounds here. Lake Nakuru National Park is perhaps the best small park in East Africa while the Masai Mara is, quite simply, the most prolific game park in the world. Whether it is in migration season or not, the game is usually teeming around our luxury bush camp on the edge of the Mara River. Nevertheless, it is not just game, it is towering escarpments, proud Masai warriors, exciting walking, incredible skies and impossibly beautiful sunsets which make this a magical destination.Read our MD's account of his family's visit to the Masai Mara The Sunday Times - writes about the perfect safari in Kenya (12 October 2008).
