Kenya safari and beach holiday
Tsavo National Park & Diani Beach, East Africa
Seven-night safari and beach break in Kenya with three hotel stays, flights, transfers and game drives
Making the choice to go on safari doesn't mean you need to sacrifice your annual beach holiday, far from it. With this exclusive week-long holiday, you can do both. Stay in two luxury safari lodges in the Tsavo East National Park in Kenya (one night in each lodge), before heading to Kenya's resplendent South Coast to spend five nights right on the famous Diani Beach.
Tsavo National Park is one of Kenya's largest parks. With sweeping plains, grasslands and the Galana River flowing through it, it's teeming with life, from elephants, rhinos and buffalo to lions and leopards. You'll begin your trip with a night at Ashnil Aruba Lodge in the east of the park. This is a luxury lodge with an outdoor pool, a buffet restaurant and bedrooms with views across the bush. Here you'll take two game drives led by experienced staff.
Next you'll head to the west of the park and stay a night at the unique Salt Lick Game Lodge in the private Taita Hills Sanctuary. Built on stilts above a known watering hole, this place offers exquisite game viewing (even from your window) and has a cocktail bar and an excellent restaurant with a varied menu. Here you'll take another two game drives, again led by knowledgeable rangers.
Your final stop is the five-star Swahili Beach Resort, a chic hotel on Diani Beach where you'll spend five nights drifting between the tiered pools, the beach and the oceanfront spa. This hotel has a radiant white design with Islamic domes and arches and lush tropical gardens, it also houses a beauty salon, a gym and a range of restaurants and bars, including a champagne and oyster bar.
Our offer includes one night at Ashnil Aruba Lodge with full-board and game drives, one night at night Salt Lick Game Lodge with full-board and game drives and five nights in Mombasa at the Swahili Beach Resort on a half-board basis (Majilis restaurant is the only dining option included in the price). Flights are included with Kenya Airways from London Heathrow to Mombasa (via Nairobi). Return transfers are also included from Mombasa to Tsavo and from Mombasa to the airport.
Please note: This trip includes seven nights accommodation, however, both your outbound and inbound flights are overnight and that means you'll be away from home for a total of nine nights, so please allow for this when booking time off work.
