You’ll be dreaming of close wildlife encounters and burnt-orange horizons for weeks before you set foot in Kenya – and long after you’ve left. Here, the things you see will stay with you forever, from witnessing the Great Migration across the savannas of the Maasai Mara, to watching zebras and elephants quench their thirst in wetlands fed by the streams of Kilimanjaro.
From Nairobi, head towards the mountains of Aberdare National Park for thrilling game drives, or go west to Lake Nakuru in the Great Rift Valley to track elusive leopards and rhinos, or east to Tsavo National Park – home to black rhinos, cape buffalo and the only population of red elephants in the world. On Culture Trip’s small-group Kenya adventure, there’s also the opportunity to spend time meeting locals and absorbing Maasai culture.
After a dusty spell on the roads, relax on the powdery white beaches of the Indian Ocean, where you can daydream about the incredible scenes you’ve just witnessed. Or revel in the cultural diversity of Mombasa, a cosmopolitan port city that’s an all-together different – but equally entrancing – prospect.
