Pure wildlife viewing galore, this is what our Five-day Wildlife safari in Kenya is all about. Think wildebeest’s migration herds in their large herds of hundreds to thousands strong, or the Big Five in Masai Mara including the Rhino, Lion, Elephant, Buffaloes and leopards. You may spot these in the 5 days safari in Kenya depending on your luck.
