Enjoy both the thrill of the safari and the soft sands of the beach with this handy travel guide!
Start your trip in Tanzania at probably the most famous National Park in the world, The Serengeti. Here you’ll be able to get up close and personal with the fascinating wild animals we see on television with David Attenborough; watch in awe as a leopard dashes up a tree, elephants splash in the river and herds of wildebeest charge across the plain.
Then onto Zanzibar via ferry or private transfer for a week without a care in the world. Swim with turtles, laze on squeaky clean white beaches and try to comprehend the fact that the ocean really is that blue. Plus, with luxury resorts aplenty, treat yourself to a stay fit for a royal – you deserve it.
Take a flight into Nairobi, the capital, and head straight for The Masai Mara National Park. It’s wild and resilient and beautiful. If you’re particularly lucky you’ll have timed your visit around the largest annual migration of animals in the world, so sit back and marvel at the incredible spectacle of thousands of wildebeest charging past your 4x4 on the savannahs.
Though it will be with a heavy heart that you leave your luxury lodge and this striking landscape behind, finding yourself on the coast at Diani Beach will cure your heartache fast. This world famous 10km stretch of beach looks out onto the azure blue of the Indian Ocean and meets it with gently swaying palm trees and soda-white sand. It’s also home to a variety of luxury hotels catering for your every need, and a lively, chic atmosphere.
