Kenya
Safari & Maasai Culture — The Original African Adventure
About This Journey

This journey takes you from the bustling capital of Nairobi to the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, where you will witness the Big Five in their natural habitat. You will spend time with Maasai communities, learn their traditions, visit a giraffe sanctuary, and experience the magic of an African sunset over the plains. This is Africa as you have always imagined it.
