Amboseli National Park is THE park to see big herds of elephants and a place, which people have fought very hard for, to keep it that way. It is here where Cynthia Moss and Joyce Poole, to name a few, have done amazing research on elephants. This work included studies about the elephant family structure, how they communicate, all about the musth phase in male elephants and impact on their environment.

Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake. The submerged rim of an immerged volcanic crater forms a bay, which is the deepest point of the lake, the Crescent Island. It is a preserved sanctuary of wildlife where you can wander among tiny herds of mammals.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya’s most spectacular reserve and here you have the best opportunity to spot the Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant. It also hosts the annual famous migration of the wildebeest, up to two million strong, and it is unquestionable the most spectacular natural event in Africa. The Reserve covers an area of about 700 square miles and forms part of the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania.

A word about the transportation! 4x4‘s versus Minibuses!

"Adventures need to be chased", said a close friend of mine once and I agree fully. We hope you do too!
