About
Your Kenyan adventure begins on the shores of the Indian Ocean with your first night at PrideInn Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa. Set in tropical gardens on Shanzu Beach, it's an easy-going introduction to Mombasa, with a lagoon-style pool, spa and oceanfront dining all waiting when you arrive.
Then it's time for safari. You'll be collected early from your hotel and travel by road in a 4x4 towards Tsavo East National Park. Entering through Bachuma Gate, your first game drive takes you across vast plains and woodland in search of some of Kenya's most impressive wildlife. Tsavo East is particularly famous for its elephants, while lions, cheetahs, buffalo and hippos are among the animals you could encounter.
After lunch at Aruba Lodge and another afternoon game drive, continue towards Taita Hills for dinner and your first night in the bush at Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa.
Day 2 starts early with another game drive before breakfast. Then you'll continue to one of the real highlights of the trip – Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Raised on stilts above a waterhole in Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, the lodge gives you a front-row seat as wildlife comes to drink below.
There's more wildlife watching throughout the day before an evening night game drive gives you the chance to experience the sanctuary after dark and search for nocturnal animals.
Your final morning begins with one last early game drive. On a clear day, you may even catch sight of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance. After breakfast, travel back towards Mombasa and return to PrideInn Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa.
And that's where the pace changes completely. With 7 nights still ahead of you, you've got time to settle back into beach life, relax beside the lagoon-style pool, book a spa treatment or simply find your favourite spot overlooking the Indian Ocean.
It's wildlife and beach time rolled into one – with the adventure of a safari right in the middle of your Mombasa stay.
- Safari & Beach in One – Combine 8 nights on Mombasa’s coast with an unforgettable 2-night safari.
- Stay at Salt Lick – Sleep above a wildlife waterhole at the spectacular stilted safari lodge.
