9-Day Private Kenya Safari & Mombasa Beach Holiday

Tour Overview

A private nine-day journey that opens in Nairobi, moves through Amboseli's elephant herds and Tsavo West's rugged wilderness, and closes with three full days unwinding on Mombasa's coastline. Traveling privately means the pace, stops, and photography breaks are entirely yours — no group schedule to accommodate.

Detailed Description

This itinerary opens with a Nairobi day that most travelers underrate: a dawn game drive in Nairobi National Park followed by a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage, where rescued calves are fed and bathed within view. From there, the trip heads south to Amboseli for elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, then on to Tsavo West's red-earth landscapes and volcanic scenery — a park many first-time visitors skip and few regret adding. A scenic train transfer to Mombasa closes the safari chapter, followed by three days at an all-inclusive coastal resort. It's a considered private itinerary rather than a fixed group route, and every leg — accommodation tier, vehicle, pace — can be adjusted to the traveler.
