Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi

Green parks, glassy skyscrapers and a vivacious nightlife define the Kenyan capital.

Days 2-3 Amboseli

With stunning, snow-capped Mt Kilimanjaro forming its backdrop, the Amboseli National Park offers spectacular photographic opportunities. Explore the distinctive marshes, open plains and acacia woodland that make up the landscape, looking out for elephants, antelopes and lions.

Day 4 Arusha

Travelling south, spot the scarlet robes of Africa's most famous tribespeople - the Masai - as they tend to their cattle. Make camp in Arusha, a Tanzanian town located in the beautiful Great Rift Valley.

Day 5 Amani Children's Home

Get to know some local kids on a visit to the Amani Children's Home, an organisation providing education and support for orphans and homeless children. Join them in a lesson or for playtime for an unforgettable experience.

Day 6 Marangu/Village visits

A guided tour of Mshiri Village gives an insight into the everyday life of the Chagga people. Be invited inside a traditional thatched hut, walk around a shamba (farm) and sample delicious local food for lunch.

Day 7 Tsavo National Park

The enormous Tsavo National Park shelters more than 60 major mammals and over 1,000 plant species flourish in the rich, volcanic soil. Take a game drive through the park and hone those wildlife spotting skills. Herds of up to a thousand buffaloes are common here, as are sightings of giraffes, zebras and a host of smaller native animals.

Day 8 Mombasa

The journey comes to an end in the sun-drenched seaside town of Mombasa. Extend your stay to enjoy the white sands, gentle surf and tasty fresh seafood.
