Overview

Mountains & Plains is a distinguished Kenya safari that blends dramatic highland scenery with legendary wildlife viewing across three world-famous destinations. The journey begins in Chyulu Hills National Park, a striking landscape of rolling volcanic slopes and lush indigenous forest. From this elevated region, guests enjoy sweeping views of Mount Kilimanjaro and refined comfort in a private bush lodge, where expert guiding brings wildlife encounters to life in a scenic and secluded setting.

Your safari then moves westward to the Masai Mara National Reserve, a place synonymous with the African safari experience. Here, the plains stretch endlessly beneath wide skies, supporting vast herds of plains game and an impressive predator population that includes lion, cheetah, and leopard. Based at an iconic safari camp, your days follow the classic rhythm of early morning and late afternoon game drives through wildlife-rich grasslands.

The final chapter unfolds in the Mara North Conservancy, where lower vehicle densities and pristine wilderness create a more intimate safari atmosphere. Game drives take you deep into open savannah dotted with acacia and riverine forest, delivering quintessential East African safari moments that are both immersive and unforgettable.
