Certain royal visits, illustrious marriage proposals and high- profile campaigning for the protection of Africa’s awe inspiring wildlife prompted an interest in Kenya's wildlife areas that are removed from the mainstream tourist routes.
So we've created this thoughtfully- crafted 12 day luxury safari to enable guests to visit three of the country's most renowned wildlife hotspots.
You'll stay in areas well away from the crowds and you'll be able to enjoy the abundant wildlife at a relaxed pace.
Flying between camps ensures more time for game viewing.
