Kenya Elephant Adventure
11 Nights/12 Days
February 27 – March 10, 2022
If you want to see the Big 5 (Elephants, Rhinos, Lions, Leopards, and Buffalo) Kenya is your
best chance. We have selected 3 very different parks for our guests to experience. Maasai
Mara which is Kenya’s most popular park, is home to the big cats, Lions, Leopards, and
Cheetahs. Here we will have the best opportunity to see these predators in action… or at least
being cats and just lounging around. Our second visit will be to a private sanctuary. We added
this location in to our trip because they have protected locations for the Black Rhino. We will
have an opportunity to see these prehistoric creatures up close. The private sanctuary also
allows night safari’s which is a completely different experience! We will finish our adventure
in one of my favorite parks Samburu. Samburu is know for it’s elephants. Giant herds that
spend the afternoon playing in the river that is right beside our camp!
We have meticulously planned this itinerary to make it the best experience for our clients. In
order to spend more time on safari we will take short flights to each park. This will also give
us an opportunity to spot wildlife from above. Each park and camp is picked for ease of
access to wildlife. We are joined by experienced local guides who are versed in the particular
needs of photographers. And care about making sure that the clients get the best shot without
changing the behavior of the animal.
We are so excited to invite elephant lovers and wildlife enthusiast on this once in a life-time
adventure.
