10 days Kenya: safari around Mombasa & beach

Starting in Mombasa, you’ll visit the four national parks closest to this unique coastal town and end your holiday at the beach.

The first two stops of your adventure will be the green hills of the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and the community-led Lumo Conservancy. Here you’ll make your first wildlife encounters – from elephants and lions to zebras and giraffes. With big smiles you’ll then head to Tsavo West National Park to discover all of its hidden and less hidden gems. In Amboseli National Park you can marvel at huge herds of elephants (with a little luck you’ll see some supertuskers) roaming the grounds in front of Mount Kilimanjaro – motives you have to capture for eternity! The last two safari-days you’ll spend searching for the Big Five in the immense Tsavo East National Park, before you’ll relax on one of Africa’s most beautiful beaches – Diani Beach – for four whole days. Bliss!

The guide takes you straight to your hotel, while you take in the first images of the vibrant city of Mombasa. The next day, the guide takes you on an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. Enjoy the luxury of your private safari jeep and take the liberty to stop and watch the animals as long as you like!

Day 2

Taita Hills & Lumo Conservancy

The Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Lumo Conservancy are two smaller parks between giants Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park. The 110-square-kilometre sanctuary of Taita Hills belongs to the oldest mountain ranges of Africa, boasting many endemic bird species, such as the Taita thrush, and larger wildlife such as bush elephants, leopards, buffaloes, cheetahs and lions. The Lumo Conservancy is community-run and can therefore allow for night game drives â€“ an amazing experience!

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 â€“ you’ll meet them all when discovering the national park itself and the unique Mzima Springs.

Day 4

Amboseli’s highlights and walk on Observation Hill

Day 5 - 6

Tsavo East National Park

With over 13,000 square kilometres, Tsavo East National Park is huge and impressive, and, since it was founded in 1948, one of Kenya's oldest national parks. Cruise the outstretched savannah of the Yatta Plateau with its large groups of elephants and get to see an amazing amount of animals; four of the Big Five (minus rhinos) together with species like dik-diks, zebras, giraffes, yellow baboons, cheetahs, African wild dogs, elands, gazelles, gerenuks, hyenas, jackals, and over 500 species of birds.

Accommodations:

Day 7

Drive from Tsavo to Diani

The drive from Tsavo to Diani Beach takes approximately five hours. Over the next few days, you can discover white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters and vibrant coral reefs. Into adventure? Book excursions to discover sandbanks, snorkel in a marine park, or head out for a day of deep-sea fishing. A better end to a perfect holiday is hardly imaginable!

Accommodations:

Day 8 - 9

Diani Beach

Stretching along Kenya's Indian Ocean coast like a ribbon of brilliant white, Diani Beach is a gorgeous setting for a beach holiday. Against the backdrop of forests echoing with the sounds of wildlife, it offers clear blue waters, white palm fringed beaches, and many watersports activities. Here you can swim along sandbanks, snorkel among colourful reefs, dive in deep sea canyons, or try out kitesurfing or supping. And for those in need of a dash of culture, the vibrant city of Mombasa is not far away!
