This 9 Days Flying Safaris for Amboseli, Mt Meru and Masai Mara tour covers Nairobi, known as the “green city in the sun”, and the picturesque Amboseli National Park, which nestles at the foothills of the mighty snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. Meru National Park, one of Kenya’s best-kept safari secrets, is where the lioness Elsa from the famous film “Born Free” by conservationists Joy and George Adamson was first released into the wild. Torlitis Camp is arguably the epitome of luxurious camping accommodations, not just in Amboseli but on an African safari. Elsa’s Kopje, your abode on this safari, blends into the hillside of Mughwango Hill, the site of George Adamson’s original camp. Sand River Masai Mara Camp is located alongside the banks of the river of the same name. Close to the border of the Serengeti National Park and within the Masai Mara National Reserve, Sand River Mara lies on the northernmost route of the spectacular Annual Migration.
