7 days Kenya Wildlife and Cultural Adventure : A week of adventure and discovery. Visit the Masai Mara to witness the splendor of African wildlife. As this is also the home of the Maasai people, our tour of the area would be incomplete without a visit to one of the Maasai villages to interact with the people and learn about their culture. Continue on to the Great Rift Valley and discover beautiful scenery, flora and fauna. Tour the bird rich lakes against a backdrop of stunning volcanic mountains and escarpments. Explore the hot springs, cliffs and rock towers of the Great Rift Valley.
