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.

The national park on the border with Tanzania offers sweeping savannahs, impressive lava rocks and shimmering swamps, creating an ideal habitat for large herds of elephants, graceful lions, a staggering variety of bird species and many more animals. Shoot them all (with your camera, of course!) with the mighty Kili in the background – an amazing sight!

Day 3

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 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

Watamu Beach

Watamu is a fishing village 100 kilometres north of Mombasa, boasting white sand beaches and crystal clear ocean water. Here, you'll find forested sandy bays and wide beaches along the coast, while the inland hosts peaceful, secluded resorts and Mida Creek, just behind the beach, is surrounded by mangrove forests. You can go windsurfing, water skiing, or choose to explore the Watamu Marine National Park through boat trips or snorkelling to discover coral reefs, sea turtles, colourful fish, dolphins, and even whale sharks...!
