Big Cat Safari - Family Holiday
6 days - from $2190
Masai Mara Lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes and rhinos
Kenya, a land of amazing beauty, is bisected by the Rift Valley. Within this rift are some of the country's best national parks and wildlife viewing destinations. Lake Nakuru packs an astonishing amount of wildlife for such a small park whilst the Masai Mara is, quite simply, the most prolific game park in the world, whether it's migration season or not. Nevertheless, it is not just game, it is towering escarpments, proud Masai warriors, exciting walks, 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
