11 days Kenya: Wildlife wonders and beach bliss

You start your unforgettable journey in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. The next day, however, you already trade the hustle and bustle of the city for the vast, rugged landscapes of Tsavo West National Park. This smaller park is known for its Shetani Lava Flows, Mzima Springs and the Chaimu Crater and will not only mesmerize you with its landscape, but also with its wildlife including elephants, zebras and four of the Big Five.

Your journey continues to the privately owned Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, which wows you with numerous bird and reptile species which only live in this special speck of land. Since the LUMO Conservancy is not an official national park, unique game drives are possible here – even at night (goosebump alert)!

On the plains of Tsavo East National Park, you can meet the famous “red elephants” and marvel at vast savannahs. Its wide-open horizons make spotting wildlife like elephants, buffalo, and giraffes very easy – and truly unforgettable.

After days of game viewing, the white sand and turquoise water of Watamu are welcoming you, for some easygoing beach days, snorkelling and relaxing par excellence.

Day 1

Arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi

As you step out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a member of our Africa Safari Trips team or a hotel driver greets you with a big smile: 'Karibu Kenya – welcome to Kenya!' He brings you straight to your hotel to relax and, along the way, you get your first impressions of vibrant Nairobi. The next day, your guide takes you on an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. Let the adventure begin!

Day 2

Tsavo West National Park

Tsavo West National Park is a park that shows a diverse and remarkable nature with, for example, the Mzima Springs, the Shetani Lava Flows and the Chaimu crater. With its 9,065 square kilometres, this is one of Kenya's largest national parks, and four of the Big Five can be seen roaming freely here. Besides, you fairly easily spot regulars like giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gerenuks and many different species of birds, all between the green hills, acacia forests, savannah, natural springs and huge lava rocks from nearby volcanos.

Accommodations:

Day 3

Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and LUMO Conservancy

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.

Accommodations:

Day 4 - 5

Tsavo East National Park

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!

Accommodations:

Day 6 - 10

Drive from Tsavo to Watamu

The drive from Tsavo East National Park to Watamu takes about three hours. On the way, you pass through scenic landscapes and small towns before reaching the white sandy beaches of Watamu!
