We tried out TUI's new Safari and Beach hybrid holiday to Kenya and have everything you need to know, from bucket list sights to trying out the local alcohol – which packs quite the punch
Home to the Big Five game animals, breathtaking landscapes and stunning beaches, Kenya is undoubtedly a bucket-list holiday destination for many holidaymakers.
Buckle up and binoculars out “We haven’t seen lions in six months,” our ranger said as we raced across Tsavo East National Park, trying not to get our hopes up. However, the spell was broken as we spotted two lionesses and their cubs casually prowling along the dirt track, passing by our car as we watched in awe. Scared to make even a whisper, the Jeep fell silent as the cubs let out soft meows to their mothers – an incredible start to our safari adventure.
And the animal spotting didn’t even end once we’d left the safari parks. As we drove back to the main road, we saw an elephant We also enjoyed the “sundowner experience” at Salt Lick, where we were welcomed by the ladies of the Taita tribe, who pulled us up for a traditional dance. Kenya is home to at least 42 different tribes, and we loved soaking up the local culture at every stage of our trip.
Well deserved R&R Our African adventure was far from over when the safari ended, as it was then time to head to Diani Beach, just south of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean coast.
