A relatively short itinerary packed with interest which provides an exciting overview of Kenya and her wildlife. There are no age restrictions for children at the lodges, which makes this an ideal choice for families. Exclusive buses for sole use of families are available at a reasonable supplement. Combine with the beaches of Mombasa for an excellent, affordable introduction to the delights of Kenya.
Amboseli is home to an abundance of mammals and over 400 species of birds. Plains game, lions, cheetahs and vast herds of elephants wander freely. The area is dominated by the stunning spectacle of Mount Kilimanjaro.
At Lake Naivasha there is plenty for all the family to do. Not only can you go horse-riding or cycling, but the main attraction are the 450 species of birds which have been recorded in and around this freshwater lake.
Finally into the world famous Masai Mara, one of the world's most enthralling wildlife theatres. The reserve plays host to countless species, including the 'big five' (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) and the incredible spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration.
