12 Days East Africa Luxury Safari
Big Cats, Elephant Herds & the Great Migration in Tanzania & Kenya
Step Into the Wild…
Picture this: dawn breaks over the Serengeti. A lion’s roar carries across golden plains. A leopard drags its kill high into an acacia tree. Nearby, a herd of elephants rumbles past—calves trumpeting as matriarchs lead the way.
Now imagine crossing into Kenya’s Maasai Mara, where the Great Migration unfolds in a thunder of hooves. At Lewa, you track rhinos on foot. In Samburu, you meet desert-adapted elephants and warriors who have shared this land for centuries.
This 12-day luxury safari through Tanzania & Kenya is more than a holiday—it’s your front-row seat to nature’s greatest theater.
