East Africa Family Safari
In colourful Nairobi we check out fantastic African crafts, feed giraffes and spend time with baby elephants. In the Great Rift Valley lakes, we hope to see thousands of flamingos as they form a riotous pink carpet across the shallows. Lake Nakuru is known for its vast amount of bird life and highly endangered white rhinos. The spectacular grasslands of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti Plains are home to wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, and their predators – lion, hyena, cheetah and the stealthy leopard! We stop by Africa’s greatest lake, Lake Victoria, and also visit a Masai village to learn about the culture and dance of this proud tribe. The Ngorongoro Crater is quite rightly known as Africa's Garden of Eden, whilst Lake Manyara is home to resident tree-climbing lions. Spending time with the wonderful children at the School of St Jude is yet another highlight of this memorable safari! If you would like a few days rest and relaxation, why not add a Zanzibar Beach Break after your safari?
