    A Beautiful Road Journey across Kenya

    5/5

    Travelling by road allowed us to appreciate how dramatically Kenya changes between Nairobi, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. The highlands, Rift Valley and southern plains became important parts of the journey rather than simple transfers between parks.

    Amboseli Was the Perfect Finale

    5/5

    The complete Amboseli day allowed us to observe elephants in different environments rather than passing quickly through the park. The wetland scenery and occasional mountain views created an outstanding conclusion.
