Take a Walk on the Wildside and see Kenya from a different perspective, atop a Camel or by foot. Traversing the land of Laikipia, you will have the opportunity to ride Camels with the Samburu and Masai, learning about the wildlife, and the environment you encounter. You will move to a new location everyday, where a mobile tented camp is set up for you. Ending each day with a sundowner atop a beautiful scenic spot. The last night of this portion of your journey will be spent in a beautiful luxury tent in a non-mobile camp, before embarking on a Jungle adventure to the DRC.
From the Savannahs to the Jungle, an invitation to sit with Gentle Giants awaits you, where you will witness the endangered Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat, and learn about the valiant work conducted by Virunga's brave and heart warming team of rangers, whom make it possible for you to visit this unique part of the world, followed by an overnight stay on the Nyiragongo volcano summit, with a spectacular view of the world's largest lava lake, ticking off not one but two bucket list favourites!!
By booking a trip to Virunga National Park, you are directly contributing to the protection of this World Heritage Site and providing a brighter future for the surrounding communities.
