Kenya
& Tanzania Lodge Safari
The 14-day Kenya and Tanzania Lodge Safari gives us the opportunity
to take part in some of the best game viewing the world has to offer.
Visit
seven of the finest game parks in the world and experience Grevys
zebra and oryx in Samburu, visit flocks of flamingoes and great
wildlife including leopard, giraffe and both black and white rhino
in Lake Nakuru and huge numbers of plains animals and their predators
in the famous Masai Mara.
Crossing the
great East Africa Rift Valley we gain fantastic views over Lake
Manyara, before travelling east to the Serengeti National Park,
where the great grass plains stretch as far as the eye can see,
supporting vast numbers and a wide variety of animals. The final

including elephant, lions and black rhinos.
