Believe Safari

Classic Kenya

Nakuru and the Mara, two of Kenya’s most iconic safari landscapes.
Kenya Rhino Watering
The Experience

Nakuru & Mara.

Classic Kenya brings together two of the country’s most iconic safari landscapes: the wildlife-rich shores of Lake Nakuru and the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara. Think flamingos, rhinos, big cats, golden grasslands and unforgettable game drives.

In one week you feed the giraffes in Nairobi, meet the orphaned elephants at the Sheldrick Trust, look for Rothschild giraffe in the Soysambu Conservancy, and spend two days of game drives in the Mara. The safari Land Cruiser is yours alone for the whole trip, with your own English-speaking guide.
