Get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime to Africa with Mark Faldmo.

Home to the ultimate safari, Kenya dazzles with piercing golden sunsets and offers animal encounters that surpass any other destination on the continent. Keep an eye out for lions, zebras, elephants, and more as you journey through breathtaking game parks and glide across the waters of Lake Naivasha. You’ll also enjoy unforgettable moments at the Giraffe Center, where up-close encounters with these graceful giants will leave a lasting impression. 

May in Kenya offers some real advantages. It’s the end of the rainy season and rates are lower, so you’ll save considerably on the cost of your trip. The end of the rainy season also brings lush greenery to the landscapes, making for some stunning views. There are fewer visitors, and it can be a great time to explore Kenya’s cultural attractions and interact with locals.

Africa is calling—come discover its magic, its majesty, and the memories waiting to be made. This African experience is truly one-of-a-kind!
