Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
Can we go fishing in the middle of a safari?
As we drive or hike into the higher altitudes, the landscape changes into a “wonderland” of rare alpine flora. You’ll see Giant Lobelias and Groundsels—towering plants that can grow several meters high and are found only in East Africa’s high mountains. It feels like stepping back in time, offering a completely different “nature” experience compared to the grassy plains of the Mara.
