The luxury Serena Lodges, renowned for their facilities, location and level service, combined with champagne breakfasts on three mornings and a complimentary Hippo Pool Breakfast in the Masai Mara ensures that each guest has a memorable experience.

Samburu in the North of Kenya is home to the Big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo), here you will also find the rarer species such as the Grevy's Zebra, Reticulated Giraffe and Blue Legged Somali Ostrich, species rarely seen elsewhere in East Africa.

Naivasha is a freshwater lake, where there is plenty for all the family to do, the main attraction here is some of the 450 species of birds which have been recorded in and around this Hippo filled lake.

Finally, this safari finishes with two nights the magnificent Masai Mara, famed for its vast numbers of plains game, the spectacular big cats and the annual Great Migration.
