About the safari
Embark on an unforgettable five-day group safari exploring some of Kenya’s most iconic landscapes. From the stunning pink hues of flamingos at Lake Nakuru to the serene beauty of Lake Naivasha and the majestic elephants of Amboseli, this adventure offers a perfect blend of wildlife encounters and breathtaking scenery. Join fellow travelers as you explore these breathtaking parks, sharing in the thrill of game drives and the camaraderie of group travel. Group joining safaris are an excellent way to meet fellow travelers and share the excitement of exploring wildlife together.
You will be part of a diverse group, creating opportunities for new friendships and shared stories. Group safaris follow a fixed itinerary. While this ensures a well-organized tour, it also means less flexibility to customize the schedule based on individual preferences. Please note that the briefing may differ since travelers are from various tour operators. They kindly ask you to follow their itinerary and briefing to avoid conflict and confusion. You will be sharing the safari vehicle with other group members. This might limit personal space and the ability to move around freely.
However, it also offers a chance to enjoy the company of fellow travelers. Group tours operate on a strict schedule. It is important to be punctual to ensure the smooth running of the itinerary. Delays can affect the entire group, so please be mindful of the timings provided by your guide. Each group is unique, comprising individuals with different backgrounds, interests, and travel styles. While this diversity can be enriching, it may also require some patience and adaptability. The focus of the safari is on wildlife viewing, and the guides are experienced in maximizing these opportunities.
You will be accompanied by a professional safari guide who provides insights and ensures safety, enhancing the overall experience. The size of the group can vary, with the vehicle accommodating a maximum of eight travelers. Due to the different dynamics and destinations of other travelers, you may change vehicles and guides at some point during the trip. They recommend soft luggage bags or small suitcases due to limited storage space in the jeep. Excess luggage may need to be placed between seats, affecting movement and comfort.
