This is an incredible eco-friendly journey that let鈥檚 you explore most of the interesting and unique regions of Kenya. The trip focuses on different cultures and wildlife and offers mild walking opportunities in some of Kenya鈥檚 finest game reserves and conservancies. In two weeks you will experience almost all the wildlife diversity Kenya has to offer - from the northern arid parks to the high mountains and the Mara plains in the south. We commence with Meru National park in the north and traverse the country widely receiving in-depth knowledge of the contrasting wildlife environments, scenery and cultures of Kenya from our knowledgeable nature guides. Accommodation for this itinerary is a mix of bush camps (fully supported) local hotels and a permanent tented camp in Masai Mara. The bush camping section on this trip allows us access to wilder areas. Irrespective of the location we never compromise on health, safety or reasonable comfort. And although we generally don鈥檛 include luxury lodges in our itinerary planning, lodge accommodation can be arranged for most nights on private group departures if required.Tips
