Safari Highlights
This 3-day safari takes you to the wild plains of Tsavo East National Park and the exclusive Ngutuni Sanctuary, offering a unique combination of game viewing in one of Kenya’s largest and most iconic national parks, as well as a more intimate wildlife experience in a private conservancy.
