Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru

Overview

What this journey is.

Three of the best lights in Kenya, in a vehicle that is not on a group meal schedule. Nakuru adds rhinos and a soda-lake foreground that the southern parks do not have. You still need patience. The plan only removes the reasons to leave a good sight early.
