Kenya & Tanzania
Safaris Starting at $2,099.00 Inclusive of International Air
Washington D.C., – January 24, 2011 – Ethiopian Airlines and ET African Journeys are offering incredible safari opportunities to two of East Africa’s primary safari destinations. For a limited time, experience world-class safari expeditions including Kenya’s Masai Mara or Tanzania’s Serengeti at a fraction of the regular price.
The Masai Mara package offers travelers accommodations at the Serena Mountain Lodge in Mt. Kenya National Park surrounded by dense rain forest. This is a tree lodge with a waterhole that attracts a myriad of wildlife during the day and night. The waterhole is floodlit and there is also an underground viewing platform to view Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Waterbuck that wander through the resort.
Venture to the Lake Nakuru Lodge in the most densely populated wetlands of Kenya. On your game drive view the large population of flamingos and both the black and white rhino. Other highlights include the Rothschild Giraffe and a fair share of Buffalo, Leopard, Zebra and Lion.
Proceed to the world renowned Masai Mara Game Reserve with two nights at the Mara Simba Lodge, which overlooks a dramatic bend of the Talek River. The Lodge has floodlit an area by the river, to enjoy viewing nocturnal species drinking after dark. With one afternoon game drive followed by a full day game drive it is
most likely that you will see the Big 5 (Lion, Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard and Rhinoceros).
The package includes:
• Roundtrip flights on Ethiopian Airlines brand new Boeing 777 from Washington D.C. to Nairobi.
• Two nights at the Nairobi Safari Club, Kenya’s only all-suite hotel.
