Tour overview

Southern Circuit Safari. Amboseli National Park is one of the best places to spot large troops of elephants where they roam around freely in the sparse vegetation. Here the home of the giraffe are the spattered thorn woodland, overshadowed by the distinguishing Acacia tortilis. In this park as well you could experience for yourself a really authentic not to mention archaic African culture of the Masai community. Heading to the Tsavo East, an obvious feature is the Yatta Plateau, the greatest lava flow in the globe as well as the earliest to become fossilized. Its exclusivity is alluring owing largely to the fact that it’s the lesser visited park of the two Tsavo Parks. An especially rare antelope can also be found here called the hirola, or Hunter’s hartebeest. This antelope is one of the world’s rarest antelopes, if not the rarest in fact. Join a group in a regular group-joining safari to experience all this first-hand.
