Highlights

  • Ride the incredibly scenic Madaraka 'Safari Train' and listen to the wild history of the line as you look out for the resident elephants, zebras, lions and antelopes. This train runs between the east and west sections of Tsavo National Park!
  • Go wildlife spotting on 4WD safaris through Tsavo National Park – the oldest and largest national park in Kenya. Split into Tsavo West and Tsavo East, the park is known as the ‘land of lava, springs, man-eaters and magical sunsets.’
  • Visit the Patinaai Osim project – supported by The Intrepid Foundation, this project supports Indigenous Maasai women in creating sustainable livelihoods and rising above poverty and inequality.
  • Relax on Kenya's scenic coast for two full days at Diani Beach. Take a refreshing swim in the turquoise waters or chill out on the white sands with a good book.
  • Walk through Mombasa’s Old Town with your leader and uncover the vast array of architectural styles here, from the Omani doors and Gujarati terraces to the Portuguese facades and British ironwork.

    gorillas, chimps, nasai Mari game reserve unforgettable experiences. inc. permits cost 1500 USD , so this excellent value. however there is a lot of travelling on the bus as they do a loop.. I would say consider flying into Rwanda go into Uganda to see gorill (800 in Uganda vrs 1509 usd in rwanda) then join a tour that includes 2 days in masai mari.

    Fabulous - No safari can guarantee that you will see everything you want to but very happy with what I did see. Photos shown were taken with either a low spec phone or a pocket camera – those with better phones or better spec cameras have far superior pictures Group leader ‘Lucky Steve’ was excellent as were the drivers. During a trip briefing a few years ago, a guide said ‘if you want home, stay at home’….many of the roads were bumpy. Services such as hot showers are not guaranteed. Wi-Fi was available albeit sometimes only in reception and restaurant areas and could be patchy. Food was a bit samey. Some variance to the trip notes. Accommodation was generally acceptable and one lodge was more like glamping. Caution regards money – many places / accommodations didn’t accept credit cards for additional expenses. Also, the Tanzanian government are trying to stop payments in US dollars (doesn’t apply inside Serengeti National Park) although this was being flouted. The optional elephant caves trip – whilst the trip notes provided a price in $, payment needed to be in cash (Tanzanian Schilling). In Zanzibar, credit cards were accepted and many prices in $. Zanzibar - optional walking tour in Stone Town was good and very informative; the guide (‘Ali’), clearly-spoken and funny (when he put on a cockney accent). The optional ‘spices’ tour was also good. Accommodation much higher standard.
