The mountain and the bellowing elephantsRoute: Nairobi - Amboseli - Tsavo - Mombasa - Diani BeachMany travellers decide to start their Kenya adventure in Masai Mara, whilst others travel deeper into the countryside first to take an Amboseli safari. Whichever route you choose, you'll still be able to end your trip on one of Kenya's tropical white beaches. Flying might be the fastest way to get from the bush to the beach, but if do so you'll miss out on two famous wildlife parks along the way: Amboseli and Tsavo. This is a real shame, as these parks are home to the largest population of elephants in all of Kenya as well as the big five. During our Tsavo and Amboseli safari you'll sleep in cosy safari lodges and, in the evening, you can sit by the campfire to experience the ultimate safari feeling in the heart of the African bush. This itinerary can be offered as either a private safari or group safari with a small international group (maximum of 6 people). |
