Kenya and Tanzania Safari
An old cliché springs to mind – “There are many ways to skin a cat” Now in Tanzania or Kenya one should be pretty selective with which cat you select as some of these feline relatives reach 550lbs ( 250kg) somewhat heavier than your average 6ft adult male with a paw size as big as your own head!!
Now whilst designing safaris the Bush2Beach team put a lot of thought, time and effort bringing together many combined years into the wildlife safari experiences for you to sit back and enjoy a time away from everything and everyone. A “Dusty red road” is another combined safari classic exploring some of Kenya’s National Parks such as Naivasha, Hells gate, Nakuru and the Maasai Mara National Reserve before a hop – skip and jump over the border into Tanzania forgotten lands. In a positively southward direction float in a dreamlike state as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara pass you by with un-limited game drives and wildlife experiences to fill your cup. What better way to seal this combined Kenyan – Tanzanian holiday than amongst the people of the land. Pure grass roots cultural experiences with time spent amongst the brightly decorated Maasai people in the award winning Isoitok tented camp offering an Oasis in the bush like no other.
