Red-dust elephants in Tsavo, then three nights on Diani's white sand.
This is the easiest way to combine a real safari with a proper beach holiday in Kenya. Tsavo East is just a few hours from the coast, a vast wilderness where elephants are dusted red by the earth.
After two days of game drives, you swap the bush for Diani's white sand and warm Indian Ocean. It's ideal for families and first-timers, with short drives and no domestic flights needed.
Best time to goJune to October and December to March.
Great forFamilies and travellers who want safari and beach without long flights.
