EXPERIENCE The Ultimate in Safaris!
the KENYA & MADAGASCAR BIG FIVE of AFRICA! Luxurious Safari & Cruise
22 day cruise/tour - November ??, 2025
Elephant The Maasi Mara is renowned for having the highest concentration of Lions, Leopards, and Cheetahs in the world. You have a good chance to see all of the Big Five during 2 days of safaris in the Maasai Mara. For those that do not know what is considered the Big Five - they are the Lion, the Leopard, the Elephant, the Rhino and the Buffalo. The Maasai Mara can deliver everything you would ever want to experience on a Safari. It is the huge amount of animals and game in the Maasai Mara that is needed to support the largest big cat population on earth. Simply put, no other safari can deliver the quantity of wildlife found in the Maasai Mara.

“We Don’t S en d You, We Ta ke You!”
Throughout your time in Kenya, we will be traveling in 4-wheel drive safari vehicles. Each safari vehicle will hold 9 passengers, but we only put 4 to 5 passengers - ensuring everyone has a window that can be opened for a better picture. Each safari vehicle also has a top that can be raised so its passengers can stand, getting an unobstructed view or the best in pictures.
After our safaris, we will return to Nairobi to prepare for our next day’s flight to Madagascar. Another highlight of this tour will be an excursion to the Karen Blixen Plantation (this is where the movie “Out of Africa” was filmed). You will also have a chance to feed and pet large giraffes from raised platforms.

Madagascar
Madagascar is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. It is also one of the poorest countries in the world with little to no tourist infrastructure. A number of years ago, we hand a small group that flew to Madagascar after doing one of our train tours through South Africa and the country of Namibia. Our Educator, Michael Wilcox, was part of that small group. They experienced first hand the lack of tourist infrastructure. Our group faced very poor hotels outside the capital of Madagascar and the quality of food was always questionable. The biggest issue was the gigantic long drives on extremely poor roads to reach the next National Park to visit. Even though they all faced many issues trying to tour in Madagascar, they all loved Madagascar. Because of the many infrastructure issues, we have put off offering another trip to Madagascar – UNTIL NOW! We have found a way to solve the issues of poor hotels, poor food and the long drives.

Luxury Cruise
Madagascar is like a huge Noah’s Ark with animals and birds found nowhere else in the world. What better way to approach this Noah’s Ark than by a luxury small ship that can drop anchor almost anywhere. Every issue we had with our first experience doesn’t exist with what we have put together for 2025. All of the rooms on the ship are luxurious mini-suites. All the food on the ship is high quality, AND there are no long drives across the island on bad roads to get to our next National Park. Instead, we sleep comfortably in our suite as our ship cruises to the next National Park we want to visit in. After dropping anchor, we take our shuttle boats to the shore where our buses and guides wait to escort us through the next National Park. You are going to feel like you are part of the movie "Madagascar" as you might have a chance to see some sightings of Madagascar’s unique wildlife, including the popular lemurs. After our Madagascar experiences, we will visit the beautiful volcanic islands of Reunion and Mauritius. We will depart our luxurious ship in Port Louis on the island of Mauritius.

The Ultimate in Safaris!
KENYA & MADAGASCAR Luxurious Safari & Cruise
21 day cruise/tour - November 12, 2025 with Dr. Michael Wilcox
Noble Caledonia Island Sky The whole ship only holds a little over 100 passengers. It is absolute luxury from the suite cabins to the open spaces, to the luxurious meals. We work closely with a company in Germany that we charter our trains with for the Silk Road and our trains in Africa. Together we have chartered the Noble Caledonia Island Sky, along with designing the itinerary around the island of Madagascar, the island of Reunion and the island of Mauritius. With this ship we are able to get into areas that others are rarely able to visit. The perfect educator: Dr. Michael Wilcox was part of the small group that visited Madagascar. He always said he would love to go back. When we offered him the chance to be part of this special unique safari tour and cruise to Madagascar, there was no hesitation - he jumped at the chance to return to Madagascar. Even Jim and Carol Tyndall, owners of Fun For Less Tours, have decided this is one experience they can’t miss out on. They are also coming with you. It is important to understand, we get the first opportunity to sell the ship, there is a limited time for us to fill the ship before the remaining rooms are open to our German partners to finish selling the ship. Everything will be in English and we will hold our own lectures, but if possible, we would like to have the whole ship to ourselves.
Important note: Your safaris in Kenya will be with Jim, Carol and Michael. The German company will only be able to sell into the empty cabins we are not able to fill on the ship. It is very important to know, our pricing for the ship AND the 7 days of safaris and deluxe game lodges is less than others will pay for only the time on the ship. Prices are normally around $14,000 per person for this ship's least expensive cabin. Our whole price, that INCLUDES Kenya is substantially less. That is what chartering the whole ship can do to the pricing. Make your reservations ASAP, we believe everything is going to sell out fast.
