Amboseli National Park

A 3-night visit to Amboseli National Park makes the perfect extension to your Kenyan holiday. The snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro which rises above the clouds creates a dominating backdrop for this small park and perhaps the 'classic' image which many of us hold of East Africa. Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Black Rhino, Cheetah, Cape Buffalo and a host of other plains game have made this one of Kenya's most sought after photographic destinations.

Mara Balloon Safari

For the adventure of a lifetime why not treat yourself to an early morning balloon trip over the Maasai Mara? It is an exceptional way of seeing wildlife, and offers the ultimate in tranquillity. The flights generally last for an hour or so and are followed by a traditional champagne breakfast on the Maasai grasslands cooked on the burners of the balloon.

Great Rift Valley Lakes

The Great Rift Valley is one of the wonders of the natural world. On its floor a chain of lakes provide wetland habitats for a multitude of exotic birds and animals, and they are particularly famous for their huge flocks of fuschia flamingos. Game walks, drives and boat rides from beautiful lodges allow for the perfect combination of activity and relaxation. Loldia House in Lake Naivasha and Lake Baringo Island Camp are good bases from which to explore the region.

Beach Sojourn

Kenya has some of the finest beaches in Africa. Why not combine your safari with a few days relaxing on the coast. See our Beach Extensions suggestions.
