Arrival to Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to be met and whisked away through an ever changing scenery full of impressions, colors and smiles. 6 days of untamed wildlife experiences exploring Kenya’s National Parks and the Maasai Mara National Reserve before the finale as you enter into Tanzania northern safari circuit being the last frontier of uninterrupted National Parks and Conservation Areas allowing important wildlife corridors to remain open to the rhythm of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra as they gather annually out on the open plains of Serengeti N.P. Don’t go reaching for the remote control as it’s not there, no need to fast forward, pause or repeat, remember this is your own discovery channel unleashed we invite you now to live it.
