Scenes from our 2021 Kenyan Safari

Enjoy some scenes from our September 2021 Kenyan safari, originally posted daily on our @RetreaTours Facebook page! We were thrilled to get back on the road with 15 enthusiastic and curious guests as we explored Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara, as well as a few spots around Nairobi.
