FAMTrips.travel, in partnership with Liberty East Africa Safaris, is hosting an 8-day safari FAM showcasing Kenya’s vibrant landscapes—from the lush Afro-Alpine scenery of Aberdare National Park to the rugged beauty of the northern Samburu district. Travel advisors will also explore the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park, home to the world’s largest population of endangered black rhinos.
If advisors wish to extend their stay in Kenya, tour operators can assist with arranging pre- or post-FAM accommodations.
