Description
On this 13-day safari adventure through the everchanging landscapes of East Africa, you’ll take multiple game drives in the Maasai Mara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Amboseli National Park. With expert guides and a handy local leader, you’ll visit spots far off the tourist trail, including the base of Mt Meru, where you’ll go on a hike through the slopes of the mountain to a waterfall, and Lake Naivasha, where you’ll head out on a boat safari. Spend time in Arusha and take part in a traditional cooking class with a company that supports and empowers the local women, and visit the Patinaai Osim project, supported by the Intrepid Foundation and working to fight inequality of women and girls in Indigenous communities. With all of this and more, you’ll see iconic wildlife, landscapes and the highlights of Africa, while gaining a better understanding of this incredible land.
