Embark on the ultimate African wildlife adventure with our expertly curated Kenya Safari package covering Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru—two of the most iconic wildlife destinations on the continent. This journey is perfect for Indian travelers seeking an international wildlife experience that blends comfort, culture, and extraordinary animal encounters.

🦁 Why Kenya? Why This Safari?

Kenya is home to some of the world’s richest and most accessible game reserves. Our signature itinerary includes:

  • Lake Nakuru National Park – Known for its massive flamingo populations, white rhinos, and endangered Rothschild giraffes.

Together, they offer contrasting yet complementary ecosystems—savannahs in the Mara and soda lakes with acacia woodlands in Nakuru.

  • Luxury or mid-range accommodation in safari lodges or tented camps

  • Visit to a local Masai village for cultural interaction

  • Never enter the forest with an intention of spotting a single species, it will only disappoint you. The forest is a gift packet with a lot to surprise with. Listen to our naturalist for more wonderful experience.
  • Our safaris are not target species specific (Unless specified)
  • We explore everything we find uncommon and need to be explained.
