SIGNATURE SAFARI SERIES

Tanzania & Kenya Luxury Safari

Realm of Giants

14 Days / 13 Nights

Overview

Realm of Giants traces the animals that give East Africa’s safari its scale: the Super Tusker elephants of the Chyulu Hills, the rhino strongholds of Lewa, the density of the Masai Mara, and the sweep of the Serengeti-Ngorongoro highlands. Six of the region’s most decorated camps — Hemingways, Great Plains’ ol Donyo, Lewa Wilderness, Ishara, Singita, and Nomad’s entamanu — anchor a journey built for travellers who want Kenya and Tanzania’s very best, without compromise at a single stop.

The Journey – Your Itinerary

A plantation-style sanctuary in Karen, with butlers and Ngong Hills views to ease you in.

Perched on the crater’s wild rim, built to be entirely removable from this elemental place.
