This safari offers visits to a contrasting trio of parks, the Shaba National Reserve, Lake Nakuru and finally the journey culminates with three nights in the world-famous Masai Mara.

Located close to Samburu, Shaba has reserved its place in the history of conservation as the area where Joy Adamson experimented with the release of hand-reared leopards. Much of Shaba's charm lies in the splendour of its deep gorges and waterfalls on the river in the north, and open grasslands dotted with springs.

Animals commonly seen are elephants, lions, cheetahs, Grevy's zebras, giraffes, gerenuks, buffalos, oryx, gazelles, dik diks and waterbucks. The river forest attracts a wide variety of birds.

Accommodation is in Sarova hotels, one of Kenya's leading independent hotel groups. The Sarova team have a friendly, personal approach with excellent attention to detail.
