Originally named the ‘Great Rift Valley’ by British Explorer John Walter Gregory, the Rift Valley is a geographic stretch extending 6000km across the Middle East and Africa from Jordan to Mozambique. The valley encapsulates tremendous changes in topographic diversity with its scarps and volcanoes, lakes, ancient granitic hills, flat desert landscapes and coral reefs and islets. The astounding view, as you approach from Nairobi, Kenya is quite unbelievable. To show you just how expansive the rift is, the ground unexpectedly disappears from under you, extending thousands of kilometers in either direction. An excellent starter to the Kenyan Rift Valley, it may appear, the most amazing part of this experience is sinking deeper to explore the Lake System.

This has got to be one of the best ways to do a safari!
THE PLAN: Jumping from park to park to find the Big Five, and you end up losing track of how many wild animals you've spotted. From the Masai Mara, to Lake Naivasha and Nakuru in Kenya, where you get to see animals up close and biking through Hell's Gate. To Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the endless plains of Serengeti and Ngorongoro the amazing crater of an extinguished volcano in Tanzania. A great trip planned to be an unique adventure, get the chance to see and feel animals in their habitat and get a glimpse of east African culture.
ACCOMMODATION: From hotels in small cities, to camping under star-filled skies. You'll always have an acceptable bathroom in camp and even find hot water in some. Meals are also an adventure where you get to try local dishes and good amounts of Kenyan tea! Don't try lighting a cigarette in Nairobi, look for designated smoking areas.
THE PEOPLE: from beginning to end you get to meet some amazing people. The guides are amazing, they know how to find the animals and give you facts about what you're seeing. Everyone is very friendly and they really enjoy sharing this experience with you. It's even more fun if you learn some basic Swahili while you're there!

Durante todo el tour tuvimos guías maravillosos que hicieron que nos sintiéramos siempre como en casa. Primero en Nairobi estuvo con nosotros Black Santa quien nos llevó a Sheldricks, Giraffe Center y Beads Factory, adicional nos hizo muy buenas recomendaciones para hacer planes adicionales y que nuestro día se aprovechara al máximo! Luego nos acompaño Kombo durante los días de safari en Kenia y también fue una persona espectacular que se preocupaba siempre porque las tres que viajamos estuviéramos siempre felices y que pudiéramos ver todo lo que queríamos tanto en Nakuru, Naivasha y Massai Mara. Finalmente, para los días en Tanzania, Dawson fue nuestro guía local en Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara y Tarangire y el también mostró profesionalismo en todo lo que hacía y también siempre preocupándose por que las tres siempre estuviéramos a gusto. Finalmente Beatrice, quien fue la persona con la que hablé desde el comienzo, siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros durante todo el recorrido atendiendo cualquier solicitud o pregunta que nos pudiera surgir en el camino. Excelente empresa y excelentes personas!Amazing Safari!! Had such a good time with our guides Joel & Julius.

We were on a 11-day trip to Kenya & Tanzania. This was our trip to visit Africa and it was the most amazing experience ever. Our guide Chris, safaridoctor (Kenya side), and Gelasius (Tanzania side) are very experienced and have great knowledge about animals, birds and plants. With their exceptional effort, we were able to see all big 5s plus many others. My husband is a photographer so they stopped and tried to get closer with different angles for my husband to have a better shot whenever we saw something interesting. For example, Chris made a second trip to the same location to allow us spot a group of Rhinos. Gelasius recommended us to have lunch in the car by a pond to watch lions and got a once a life time chance to see lion sipping water from the pond. The lodges service were also excellent! By the way, Betty from the office is extremely helpful and always answers our questions quickly.Everyone we came in contact with was incredible.

Everyone we came in contact with was incredible. The service, accommodations, and guides all exceeded our expectations! Betty in the office looked after our every need and ensured every accommodation was above and beyond anything we expected. We would turn down little roads to nowhere, and find ourselves at beautiful places to rest our heads. I don’t know how she has found all of these gems, but…we were astonished! We did modify the trip so that we were not sleeping on the ground…due to mobility issues. We were picked up by Paul at the airport, who was so friendly and knowledgeable we had hoped he would be our guide the whole time! Moffat, our Kenya guide, was friendly, and did an excellent job getting us great views of all of the big five! He had extensive knowledge about the animals and happily shared his country with us. Nico, our Tanzania guide was funny, kind, and never gave up on showing us everything we wanted to see! He listened to us and literally checked every box for a great guide! He even laughed at our jokes and made a huge impact on all of us! Every day we felt we had seen everything possible, and every day, our guides showed us there was more to see! From Lion cubs to Giraffes drinking from a watering hole, from baby warthogs to adorable dik diks…Africa’s big five…and what we called the little five, made for the trip of a lifetime!
