In a week we’ll be able to visit the highlights of Kenya, visiting parks suitable for a chance to have in front of our eyes the famous Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo. We will cross the line of Equator, where we stop to watch the curious show of Coriolis effect. During these 7 days, we will arrive to Nairobi, Kenya's capital. Then we will go north to Samburu.
