10 DAYS SAMBURU ABADARE NAIVASHA MARA

Package Overview

Wildlife Viewing and Safari Game Drives: The bush is synonymous with safari, and one of the primary activities in any Bush Experience is the game drive. This is when you get in an open-top safari vehicle and drive through the wilderness with an expert guide, looking for wildlife. The thrill of encountering a lion on the hunt, a herd of elephants, or a giraffe silhouetted against the sunset is at the heart of the bush experience. Morning and Evening Drives: The best times for game drives are early in the morning and late afternoon. During these hours, animals are more active, and the light is perfect for photography. Spotting the Big Five: Many of Africa’s top game reserves offer the chance to see the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos), though other wildlife like cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, and hippos are also common sights.Off-Road Safaris: In some areas, off-road game drives allow you to venture deeper into the bush, where you can get closer to wildlife and explore more remote areas of the park.
