Summary

Many travellers dream of an African safari, but choosing where to go can feel overwhelming. This 13-day adventure through Kenya and Tanzania makes it easy. Start in Nairobi before heading to the Great Rift Valley to spot wading hippos and rare bird species on the shores of Lake Nakuru, known for its thriving rhino population.
