Overview

This trip through Kenya will begin in vibrant Nairobi, where giraffes greet you face-to-face at the Giraffe Centre and lions prowl just beyond the skyline in Nairobi National Park, before you dive into the city's rhythm - bustling streets and rich culture.

Then it's off to Mombasa, where the coastal breeze carries stories of the past. Walk under the iconic Mombasa Tusks, explore the ancient walls of Fort Jesus, and unwind on the powdery sands of Diani Beach, where the Indian Ocean sparkles endlessly.

Kenya is wild, warm and unforgettable - from safari trails to seaside sunsets.
