Classic Kenya
Amboseli, Laikipia & Masai Mara
Kenya's Premier Wild Places
Kenya is home to the original safari, think of scene’s from ‘Out of Africa’; sweeping plains filled with wildlife, stunning scenery, and a lone Acacia tree on the horizon!
This adventure kicks off in Nairobi, allowing time to recover from your long-haul flight and gets you into the swing of Africa by visiting some of the city’s highlights, including the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see the orphaned baby elephants, the Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Centre, along with some colourful markets.
Soon enough the real adventure begins as you join a scheduled charter flight into the wilderness! The biggest draw card to Kenya is undoubtedly the Maasai Mara, a destination without rival in terms of game viewing, including the Big Five. However, you will also visit Amboseli, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, famed for its huge elephant herds and the Laikipia plains with dramatic views of Mount Kenya.

Milford family
We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
Mark Taylor
Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.
