Safari Holiday Ideas - ITINERARY-02090

Think 'safari' and most people will automatically think of Kenya.  Combining this with some relaxation time on a white, sandy beach, and you have the perfect 10 or 14 day holiday. 

It is easy to combine several different safari destinations and the beach, especially as we highly recommend air transfers between your holiday destinations - as Kenya is such a huge country this is by far the quickest and easiest way of getting around.

You will return home with endless memories that will last a lifetime.

Masai Mara

The Masai Mara (also spelled Maasai Mara) is probably the most well-known safari destination in Kenya. 

It conjures up romantic images of vast open golden savannah grasslands teeming with wildlife, and of course, it is also where the greatest natural wildlife event occurs - the famous Great Migration. 

Amboseli National Park

The Amboseli National Park, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, is most famous for its large elephant population, especially the old bull elephants with their simply enormous tusks.

Laikipia Plateau

The incredibly scenic Laikipia Plateau, just north of Mount Kenya, is an exclusive safari destination, as it consists primarily of large private conservancies. 

The draw of a safari here is that the region is one of the last remaining places in Africa which is home to the endangered black rhino, and it is also an excellent area if you want to see wild dog.

Samburu

The remoteness of the Samburu Eco-System, which includes the Samburu, Shaba and Buffalo Springs National Reserves, is one of the main attractions of going on safari here, as you will be one of just a few visitors who come to enjoy the rich wildlife and birdlife, including some species which are unique to the area, such as the gerenuk (or the 'giraffe necked antelope' because of its propensity to stretch high into the bushes in search of food).  

Meru National Park

The Meru National Park is most famous for being where George and Joy Adamson raised and then successfully released their pet lioness, Elsa, back into her natural habitat in the African bush – now immortalised in the book Born Free and the award-winning film of the same name, starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers. 

Aside from Elsa’s grave, the Park is also home to a wide range of wildlife and about 280 bird species.

The Kenyan Coast

A wonderful way to either start or end your holiday to Kenya is to relax for a few days on one of the white, sandy beaches, getting up only to stretch your legs as far as the warm waters of the Indian Ocean to cool off from the hot African sun.
