Home to the Big Five game animals, breathtaking landscapes and stunning beaches, Kenya is undoubtedly a bucket-list holiday destination for many.
And as we discovered on an unforgettable trip to this East African country, there’s so much more here than just animal spotting; it’s also a place to experience blissful serenity and unparalleled culture.
While you might not think of a safari holiday as being particularly relaxing, a new TUI safari and beach package gives you the best of both worlds, with days filled with game drives followed by cocktails and pool time at Mombasa’s golden beaches.
BUCKLE UP AND BINOCULARS OUT
“We haven’t seen lions in six months,” our ranger said as we raced across Tsavo East National Park, trying not to get our hopes up. However, the spell was broken as we spotted two lionesses and their cubs casually prowling along the dirt track, passing by our car as we watched in awe. Scared to make even a whisper, the Jeep fell silent as the cubs let out soft meows to their mothers – an incredible start to our safari adventure.
Our Kenya trip kicked off with a five-day safari covering Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli and Taita Hills National Parks, with two game drives each day to spot the local wildlife. We thought the lions coming out on our first day would be hard to beat, but as the week went on, elephants stared us down, giraffes brought our car to a halt as they crossed the road, zebras strolled alongside the track and buffalos were spotted in the distance.
