ITINERARY

Enjoy an enthralling 8-day 'The Great Tusker' safari that starts and ends at Nairobi, taking you on an adventure to all the last remaining safe havens of the free-roaming elephants with the largest horns, known as the great tuskers. Only a few of such elephants, probably as low as 20, call Kenya their home. On this tour, you traverse through 3 national parks: The Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East and Tsavo West, which are interconnected and form the single largest wildlife ecosystem in Kenya.
