After an early breakfast, you'll set off with a packed lunch for a full-day game drive, exploring the vast plains teeming with wildlife. From prides of lions and herds of elephants to cheetahs, giraffes, and the elusive black rhino, the Mara never disappoints.

Reliable and professional people
We had an amazing experience with Kipruto Safaris! They took us to different stunning national parks and places in Kenya, and every detail of our trip was thoughtfully planned. The accommodations were excellent, with comfort and beautiful views. Winston was incredibly professional, reliable, friendly, and always made us feel welcome. Tonga (the guide) was very knowledgeable of the parks and wildlife. Highly recommend!
Jose · Canada
The Tour operator was diligent in how he handled us
Our trip to Hells Gates coutesy of Kriproto Safaris was marvelous. The tour guide ensured that all the requirements in terms of documents and suppliers were available even before the start of the journey. Not only did he ensure that we got on site early enough but also made sure we got to visit all the scenic places within reach though not part of the itinerary. We had games to play, swim and the meals were served on time. Call Kriproto Safaris for a great experience in East Africa.
