                                                                                  HUMBOLDT
           KENYA UNDER CANVAS                                                       PENGUIN

           Mount Kenya will play backdrop to your first adventure as you stay in the rustic Serena Mountain
           Lodge, located 7,200 feet high on the mountain’s slopes. Colobus monkeys and Sykes monkeys hang
           out nearby, as do elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and more at the hotel’s illuminated waterhole.
             Next, go on daytime drives to find the famous Big Five: leopards, lions, rhinos, elephants, and
           buffalo. At night, watch as giraffes, zebras, and other animals visit camp.
             Observe leopards, lions, hippos, baboons, warthogs, rare giraffes and rhinos, and other animals
           in the surrounding national park. Birders will have much to see, including pelicans, fish eagles, and
           marabou storks. Night game drives, walks in the bush country, and hot air balloon rides are all
           possibilities. An additional three days spent on the Maasai Mara’s savannah will thrill all.
             Optional trip extensions are to Tsavo West National Park and Amboseli National Park.
