KENYA CULTURAL SAFARIS
Cultural Safaris:
10 Days Cultural Safaris & Wildlife Safaris
This safari combines two of the most interesting and
contrasting Game Parks in Kenya. It provides an even
balance between traveling by car and some real outdoor
walking in the African bush. From the Northern frontier
(Samburu), which is famous, for it's rare species such
as the Reticulated Giraffes, Gravy's Zebra, the long
necked Gerenuk and Lance Oryx. You drive into the Great
Rift Valley where you will experience the thrill at a
real foot safari. You have the opportunity to hike up
the Vulture -inhabited cliffs of Hell's Gate National
Park. The last four days are spent walking and game
viewing through a wildlife kingdom unsurpassed anywhere
else in Africa. We mingle with the Nomads and wander
among huge herds of plain game - a thrilling experience
especially during the period of the wildebeest migration
up from the Serengeti between July and October. We
return to Nairobi for your final departure or Coastal
extension.
