Kenya Safari & Beach

Exciting 8-day safari in the Masai Mara, Amboseli & the Rift Valley, followed by 5 days relaxing on the beach

The elephants of Amboseli, the big cats of the Masai Mara, and the stunning birdlife of the Rift Valley Lakes region - this is a fantastic safari.

You stay in some lovely luxury tented camps (no, this really isn’t ‘camping’ as you’d recognise it!), have your own private jeep and guide, great game watching and excellent food.

And then, you fly to the coast at Mombasa and chill out at your beach resort. A wonderful African safari and beach holiday.

There is a special 2012 price for this itinerary (see below).

Pricing guidelines for Kenya

Open Panel

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £400 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Kenya combines well with Tanzania or Uganda.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:
	£50 to £150
	£150 to £300
	£300 to £500
	£500 to £800
	Over £800

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
