A perfect balance of comfort, romance and adventure — three nights unwinding on the shores of Malindi and Watamu followed by a wildlife-rich overnight escape into Tsavo East, home to Kenya's famous red elephants.
Met on arrival and transferred to your oceanfront beach resort in Malindi or Watamu. Settle in with a welcome drink, then spend the afternoon at leisure by the pool or along the powder-white sand. Dinner at the resort features fresh seafood and international cuisine.
Overnight: Malindi / Watamu Beach ResortA free day to relax at the resort or add on an optional excursion — snorkelling and dolphin watching at Watamu Marine National Park, the historic Gede Ruins and Vasco da Gama Pillar, a guided walk through Arabuko Sokoke Forest, or a sunset trip to the dramatic sandstone formations of Hell's Kitchen in Marafa.
Overnight: Malindi / Watamu Beach ResortDepart by 4x4 after breakfast, driving inland through changing landscapes to Tsavo East, entering via Sala Gate with a game drive already underway. Check in over lunch, then head out around 4pm for an evening game drive across open savannah in search of lion, giraffe, zebra and Tsavo's famous red elephants, dressed in the park's distinctive red volcanic dust.
Overnight: Tsavo East Safari Lodge / Tented CampAn early dawn game drive — the cool morning hours are prime time for predators returning from the night's hunt. After breakfast and a final game-viewing drive to the gates, transfer back to the coast, arriving at your beach resort by late afternoon for a relaxed farewell dinner.
Overnight: Malindi / Watamu Beach ResortA leisurely final morning on the coast — a last walk along the shore or some Swahili handicraft shopping — before your private transfer to the airport for your onward journey.
