Home/Tours/Kenya's Great Rift Valley: An 8-Day Safari
About This Tour
An 8-day safari through Kenya's Great Rift Valley — Nairobi's elephant sanctuary, Crescent Island's walking safari, the flamingos of Lake Nakuru, bird-rich Lake Baringo, and a finale in the Masai Mara. Adapted from a small-group experience — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private tour for your group only, with your own English-speaking driver-guide and safari vehicle throughout.
