The Journey

Where the safari began.

Kenya is where the safari began, and it still sets the standard. This journey runs from Nairobi up through Amboseli, beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro, to the Maasai Mara, widely held to be Africa's greatest wildlife reserve and the stage for the Great Migration. The route stays the same across all three tiers. What changes is where you stay, from characterful classics to some of the finest lodges in East Africa.
