This 9 days Kenya bush and sand is an African safari with a difference! Amboseli National Park offers one of the finest wildlife-viewing experiences in Kenya and Africa at large.
The park lays immediately north-west of Mount Kilimanjaro, on the border with Tanzania. The Park stretches over an area of 392 square km, and forms part of the much larger 3,000 sq km Amboseli ecosystem. Amboseli and the neighbouring areas are mainly settlement areas of the Maasai Warriors. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to concentration of free-ranging elephants and best view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli is a home to different mammals and over 425 birds’ species which include; Elephants, Buffalos, Cheetahs, Lions, Zebra, Jackals, Hyenas, Wildebeests, Baboons, Oryx, Gerenuk, Impala and Grant’s gazelle.
Tsavo West is Kenya’s largest National Park and home to a huge variety of animals and birds, especially around the watering holes in this otherwise dry area. During the fall these watering holes are a stopover for hundreds of thousands of birds on their annual migration south. The Mzima Springs are the source of the freshwater pools much favoured by Hippos and crocodiles. There is even a glass wall for viewing the pools from under the water line. Wildlife which can be spotted in this area includes lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, jackals, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, baboons and several species of antelope.
South Coast offers beautiful astral beaches: the wild waters of the Indian Ocean you can play in, the revitalizing sun for that beautiful tan. Diani is Kenya’s most relaxing retreat: Bordered by the breathtaking Indian Ocean, easy white sands, swanky vegetation and the striking shade of emerald blue that emerges from its clear warm waters. It is the perfect place for a get-away from the hustle and bustle of your busy daily life.
