Go “on safari” to the premier safari destinations of Kenya and Tanzania, enjoying quintessential wildlife viewing and top-rated lodges and meeting gracious local people.  Your small group limited to 18 guests encounters many and varied highlights. Travel from grassland plains to Mt. Kilimanjaro’s foothills, from the world’s largest volcanic crater to the edge of the Rift Valley, enjoying up-close encounters with exotic animals.  Visit Kenya’s Masai Mara, the proud Maasai people’s homeland; Amboseli National Park, known for its large elephant population; and Serengeti National Park, one of the earth’s last great wildlife refuges.  Adjoining Serengeti National Park is the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which encompasses Ngorongoro Crater – where Africa’s “Big Five” reside – and Olduvai Gorge, site of discoveries that revolutionized evolutionary anthropology.  Your last stop is peaceful Lake Manyara, a park noted for its abundant bird life, including dazzling pink flamingoes.
