Wings Over Kenya—A Safari Adventure with Oakland Zoo

Join Oakland Zoo Animal Care staff for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Kenya. You'll visit 3 national parks and visit with our conservation partners along the way. From your safari vehicle (window seating is guaranteed for each traveler) you'll be able to witness prides of lions, herds of elephants, zebra, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, and many more!

You'll start your adventure in Amboseli National Park at the base of Mt. Kilamanjaro known for its large herds of elephants. A short plane flight will take you over Mt. Kenya to Samburu National Reserve in arid northern Kenya. Samburu is the home to the endangered Reticulated giraffe, Grevy's Zebra, and Somali Ostrich. Our last visit is to the magical Masai Mara – the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa, unbeatable for the wildlife experience it offers on its vast savanna grasslands.
