Cochin to Bombay: A Cultural Prelude
Your journey begins in Cochin, a city where history resonates in the mesh of Chinese fishing nets, colonial buildings, and ancient mosques.

Masai Mara: The Heart of the Wilderness
Next, venture into the Masai Mara, a place where the savannah stretches beyond the horizon, dotted with acacia trees and teeming with wildlife. This reserve is one of the best places in the world to witness the "Big Five" – lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino. Embark on thrilling game drives during dawn and dusk when animals are most active. The cultural visit to a Maasai village reveals the enduring traditions of the local tribespeople, providing insights into their respected and preserved way of life.
Amboseli – Kilimanjaro: Shadows of the Giant

Crossing into Tanzania: On to Ngorongoro
The journey proceeds to Tanzania, introducing you to the vast ecosystems that sprawl across the border.

This natural amphitheater is a stage for an ongoing spectacle of African wildlife in its rawest form, offering unrivaled photographic and observational opportunities.
