Things you ought to know
You will need to have a reasonable level of fitness for this tour, especially as we’ll be enjoying a hike at the base of Mt Kenya other walking experiences such as rhino trekking.
4×4 safari vehicles, purpose built for off-road game driving, but there will be a lot of undulating bumpy driving, so often we have to hold on tight. There are viewing platforms for game spotting, so you will also want to be able to get up and down easily out of your seat to view wildlife.
We have carefully selected a range of accommodation styles in stunning locations to compliment the ambience and setting of the region we are staying during this journey.
Gorgeous safari camps, lovely lodges, authentic African banda huts are all included in this itinerary.
