Safari in Kenya – Masai Mara National Reserve
The Maasai Mara in Kenya provides the quintessential safari experience. The reserve is teeming with elephants, lions, leopards, and a host of other wildlife, including the migration of wildebeest from July to October. The view from the ultra-luxurious Angama Mara Lodge, which overlooks the action, is arguably the finest in the Mara. The journey concludes with gorilla tracking in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, which is exceptionally beautiful. You will stay at Singita Kwitonda Lodge, which offers breathtaking views of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcanoes rising above the Afro-alpine forests.
