The spirit of travel
August is one of the most beautiful periods to discover Kenya. It is the time when nature offers its greatest spectacle: exceptional wildlife, magnificent landscapes and the unforgettable Great Migration in the Masai Mara.
This safari takes you to the heart of the country's most beautiful sites. From the wild hills of Loita Hills, ancestral territory of the Maasai, to the vast plains of Masai Mara, kingdom of lions, cheetahs and elephants, each day is a new adventure.
You will continue your journey to the lakes of the Rift Valley, Nakuru and Naivasha, where rhinoceroses, giraffes, hippopotamuses and a multitude of birds live in settings of breathtaking beauty.
At the foot of the majestic Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park will offer you emblematic panoramas and privileged encounters with Africa's largest elephant herds.
To conclude this adventure, let yourself be seduced by the white sand beaches of Diani Beach, a true paradise of the Indian Ocean, where relaxation, turquoise waters and gentle living will perfect your stay.
Between exceptional safaris, authentic encounters with the Maasai people, spectacular landscapes and moments of relaxation on the Kenyan coast, this journey is an invitation to experience Africa in all its splendor.
