4 Nights - Bush to Beach Safari
Description
Our Bush & Beach Safaris are tailored to your desires, so you can spend more time in the remote outback with shorter trips to the beach, or you may lounge by the sea for an extended time with limited tours of local protected areas.
A longer beach retreat with a shorter safari option suits the needs of some of our European guests who are planning a first time or repeat bush and beach trip to the East African coastline in Kenya. You may wish to board a flight that arrives into Mombasa, sometimes on a weekly charter flight. You can then spend a few days on the beachfront then journey out into parks and reserves like Tsavo, Amboseli or even Masai Mara for two to three nights for safari game driving, village visits, nature walks, hiking and other wilderness activities before returning to your seaside hotel for the remaining period of your vacation. The third option is to have equal time on safari and at the seashore.
