The journey
What these days are for
Elephants under Kilimanjaro, the Special Five in the north, then the Mara’s cats. This is the Kenya greatest-hits week for a first long safari.
Prices are per person sharing, in low-to-shoulder lodge categories, before international flights. Park fees move; we reconfirm them on the invoice, not in a footnote after you have paid.
