Kenya – home
to one of the greatest
wildlife populations
in the world. Here
you will find some
species unique only
to Kenya, some species
whose lineage goes
back long before
the first ancestor
of mankind evolved
in East Africa and
many rare species.
Kenya’s first
national park was
established in 1946
and Kenya now boasts
of a system of more
than 50 parks. On
this safari you have
the opportunity to
visit some of these
parks and view the “Big
Five” named
by the big game hunters
and now cherished
by avid photographers:
elephant, rhinoceros,
buffalo, lion and
leopard
