Safari Holidays

Kenya and Tanzania possess some of Africa’s finest landscapes, varied wildlife and beautiful beaches.  Together they combine their natural attractions with comfortable lodges and hotels, well-organised safaris and excursions.  With Kenya’s attractive beaches and the enchanting Tanzanian spice island of Zanzibar, you can experience the thrill of an African Safari with the relaxation of a beautiful beach stay.

  

The Kenyan Coast and the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania are lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean.  Here the ocean holds a world of spectacular coral reefs teeming with life and colour.

  

The coast is a place with a long and exotic history, its calm blue waters the traditional passage of the Arabian spice trade.  In the winding mediaeval streets and bustling markets of Mombasa Old Town and Stone Town in Zanzibar, life had continued unhurried and unchanged for hundreds of years.  The blend of natural beauty and living history creates an exotic paradise unlike anywhere else on earth.

 

 

Sightseeing 

Kenya’s wilderness areas are famous worldwide.  The name Kenya has become synonymous with the great wilds of Africa but they represent far more than you would ever expect, protecting and showcasing a broad range of habitats and species.

  

Tanzania’s famous Serengeti National Park is well-known for its great migration.  Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every 0ctober and November and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June.  The ancient instinct to move is so strong that no drought or crocodile infested river can hold them back.

 

Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Masai Mara Game Reserve protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth, one of the last great migratory systems.  Maasai Mara’s open plains are renowned for the Big Five; Amboseli with snow-capped Kilimanjaro as a magnificent backdrop, is home to huge herds of elephants.  The Great Rift Valley’s Lake Nakuru offers habitat for tens of thousands of flamingos whilst Lake Naivasha is home of the hippopotamus; Ngorongoro Crater, a spectacular nature amphitheatre, teems with animals; Lake Manyara abounds with elephant, hippopotamus and buffalo; Tanzania’s largest national park – Serengeti is a perfect backdrop to the wildebeest migration; and the marine parks’ coral reefs host prolific aquatic life.
