7 days Kenya: from Tsavo to the Sea
*price p.p. incl. guide, safari jeep, hotel and park entrance fees, excl. international flight (based on six persons)
This 7-day route is different from most of our routes, in that it starts in Mombasa instead of in Nairobi.
You’ll fly directly to Mombasa to spend your first day… at the beach! After relaxing in paradise for a day, your safari adventure starts! The next morning you’ll make your way to the immense savannahs of Tsavo East National Park. Here you’ll spend two days filled game drives exploring African wildlife at its best. The biggest stars? The Big Five of course. So keep your eyes open and your camera close – these moments you want to capture for eternity. After this thrilling and unforgettable adventure, it’s time to kick back again. The best place to do that? The pristine beaches of Diani.
Many people travelling to the African continent have questions about safety. Is Kenya safe to travel to? Our answer is clear: YES!
Kenya is definitely a safe country to visit, especially for people going on organised game drives with private guides as you will do with us. There are definitely some places to avoid in big cities like Nairobi or Mombasa, but – as with all big cities – by taking some precautions, you’ll be fine. We advise, for example, to leave the hotel at night with a driver and not to go strolling around alone. Also be aware not to wear big and visible jewellery, and keep an eye on your valuables.
This is an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. This trip is made just for you, exactly as you want it! Our experienced travel consultants will make sure that your wishes come true. There are numerous advantages to such a trip. First, you can cruise around in a private safari vehicle and have a personal guide. It’s completely up to you what time you leave in the morning and when you come back (taking into account your guide’s advice, of course). Secondly, once you’re in a national park, you can observe specific animals or herds for as long as you like. No one will push you to move along. And lastly, knowing your wishes, your personal guide will give you the right tips, turning your trip into an unforgettable experience.
At Africa Safari Trips, we’re all about co-creating your perfect journey. When you plan your African adventures with us, you’re not just booking a trip; you’re embarking on a personalised experience. We start by understanding your wishes and preferences, and we won’t stop until every aspect of your journey aligns perfectly with your vision. Our team works closely with you to ensure that your entire trip is tailor-made to your satisfaction. And for added convenience, we offer a selection of our most popular African tours and safaris as a starting point for your consideration.
Absolutely, Kenya is also home to all of the Big Five and many, many more animals. In short: wildlife galore! These magnificent creatures, lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo, can be observed in their natural habitats, making Kenya a preferred choice for wildlife enthusiasts.
