10 days Kenya: safari around Mombasa & beach

As you step out of Moi International Airport, your personal Africa Safari Trips driver greets you with a big smile: ‘Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!’. He takes you straight to your hotel, while you take in the first images of the vibrant city of Mombasa. From the old ruins of Fort Jesus to the white sand beaches of the turquoise-blue Indian Ocean, Mombasa is a dream destination. Your paradise vacation in Kenya has just started!

The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and LUMO Conservancy are two smaller parks between the giants Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park. They offer unique game drives at night and, due to their proximity, they can be easily combined. During a safari here expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and antilopes, among other species, as well as over 300 bird species. In the nearby Taita Hills you can also spot Kenya’s rarest (and most threatened) birds: the Taita Apalis, the Taita White-eye and Taita Thrush.

Tsavo West National Park is full of stars you want to get in front of your lens. From the Big Five to the big stars of the flora and fauna – you’ll meet them all when discovering the national park itself and the unique Mzima Springs.

Today you can not only marvel at Amboseli’s highlights from up close (we only say supertuskers, lions, and lava rocks), but also from above: Observation Hill spoils you with a 360-degree view which is truly unique in this world.

With over 13,000 square kilometres, Tsavo East National Park is huge, impressive, and, since it was founded in 1948, old. Cruise the outstretched savannah of the Yatta Plateau with its large groups of red elephants, and observe some of the last remaining supertuskers and maneless lions. Listen to the famous story of the man-eating lions, while keeping your eyes peeled for an amazing amount of other animals; four of the Big Five (minus rhinos) together with dik-diks, zebras, giraffes, yellow baboons, cheetahs, African wild dogs, elands, gazelles, gerenuks, hyenas, jackals, and over 500 species of birds!

Diani Beach is perfect for beach holidays – think the most outstretched and white beaches, a blue Indian Ocean, and plenty of resorts and restaurants to choose from. Always dreamed of tropical islands? Then take it up a notch and stay on Chale – a mesmerising island just off the coast, with an amazing design hotel to pamper to all your needs.

This is your last day! Unfortunately, our driver will have to take you to Mombasa to catch your flight home from Moi International Airport. Sad to leave…? Then don’t worry! We can still add a few more days on those beautiful beaches or even add a few exciting safari days to your holiday!
