Explore East Africa's incredibly diverse habitats, from the tallest mountains, vast, rolling savannas to impenetrable forests. See the last of Africa's true big tusker elephants against a backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. In the Masai Mara, witness gamelands as far as the eye can see and then farther still, swarming in rich and diverse wildlife and striking African trees. This place never fails to take our breath away. The forests of Uganda and the primates that inhabit them are mesmerising - being able to get up close and witness their everyday lives is an experience afforded to a very lucky few. We'd love to share it with you.
A few of the many incredible things you'll see and experience while on this journey.
Day 1: Arrival - Nairobi, Kenya

Ol Donyo Lodge is wedged between Kenya’s Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks in the heart of the Chyulu Hills, overlooking the rolling plains to mount Kilimanjaro.

Days 4 - 6: Mara Plains, Masai Mara
Today you say goodbye to the impressive tuskers of Amboseli and say hello to the Great Migration!
