Combine the best of Kenya's premier wildlife destinations with a relaxing finish on the shores of Zanzibar on this 12 day safari and beach getaway. The journey begins with a drive from Nairobi to Amboseli National Park, where two full days of game drives offer exceptional views of large elephant herds set against the towering backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. From Amboseli, travel to Lake Naivasha for a boat ride and nature walk among hippos, giraffes, and abundant birdlife, before continuing to Lake Nakuru National Park, home to a thriving rhino sanctuary and flamingo lined shores. The safari's centerpiece follows with three days in the Maasai Mara, Kenya's most celebrated reserve, offering outstanding big cat sightings and, in season, the chance to witness the Great Migration. The adventure concludes with three days of well earned relaxation in Zanzibar, where white sand beaches and warm turquoise waters provide the perfect setting to unwind after days on safari, before the return journey home
