Kenya
Overview
Eight days covering the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli — grassland, Rift Valley lake and the country beneath Kilimanjaro. This is the itinerary we recommend most often to first-time visitors, because it shows the range of Kenyan landscape rather than the same plains three times.

Cancellation
A deposit confirms your booking, with the balance due before departure. We accept bank transfer and card.
Deposits are generally refundable up to a defined point before travel, after which charges apply. Gorilla permits are the exception — the parks themselves do not refund them once issued.
Exact terms are set out in the booking confirmation we send you before any money changes hands.
