01 MAMMAL MANIACS
Kenya can be a revelation to wildlife safari enthusiasts who haven’t previously visited: its megafauna is extraordinarily rich and diverse. Stay at a lodge on the outskirts of Nairobi and explore the city’s magnificent national park – with its eastern black and southern white rhinos – before driving to Amboseli, beneath towering Kilimanjaro, to watch hundreds of elephants at the swamps, and then on to Mzima Springs in Tsavo West for underwater hippo and crocodile action.
