The journey begins with a rush of adrenaline as you acclimate in Mombasa. With our nature walk, you will get as close as you have ever come to giraffes, ostriches, and other unique species, so prepare for an adventurous experience. The day does not finish there, with a dhow ride through the Mombasa Channel, you will have the chance to lay back and relax amid the soothing sound of gently flowing water. After that, the vibrant city of Mombasa will welcome you with open arms. Explore the enchanting Old Town, where narrow alleys and intricately carved doors transport you to a bygone era of Arabian influence, and indulge in a tantalizing fusion of flavors at its bustling markets.

After some wonderful days in Mombasa, the beauty of Kenya's national parks awaits. Walk through the savannah to discover unique landscapes, observe wildlife in its natural environment, learn about local tribes, and see the impressive Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa's tallest mountain. With local guides assisting you, we make sure you make the most out of this experience.

Game drives throughout the parks will open your eyes to Africa's limitless expanses of the wild. You may see herds of dust-red elephants wallowing, rolling, or simply foraging; as well as lions, cheetahs, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes, warthogs, ostriches, baboons, birds, and more! In Amboseli National Park, you will visit swamps below Observation Hill, which host large herds of animals including elephants, buffalo, hippos, and a variety of waterfowls like the pelican and Egyptian goose. In Tsavo National Park, you'll see the beautiful man-made Aruba Dam located on the north bank of the seasonal Voi River. This dam is visited by thousands of animals and is a great game-viewing destination. You'll also visit the whale-backed Mudanda Rock which towers above a natural dam, and acts as a draw to thousands of elephants.

Kenya has two distinct seasons, dry and wet. From December to March, the weather is hot and sunny, making it ideal for beach activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and sunbathing. As minimal rainfall is expected throughout the dry season, outdoor experiences are pleasant as well.

Another aspect that makes these months the most recommended for visiting Kenya is that it is the best time for wildlife viewing. With thinner vegetation and limited water sources, animals tend to gather around watering holes, making them easier to spot during safaris in national parks like Tsavo East and Tsavo West.

To make it even better, those are the months of the festive season, so Mombasa comes alive with different celebrations, cultural festivities, and vibrant street markets. The city offers a great opportunity to enjoy local traditions and immerse in Kenya's energetic culture.

Popular attractions tend to get quite crowded during the dry season. On festive occasions, such as Christmas and New Year, Mombasa is bustling with tourists. Tourist influxes diminish noticeably in the rainy season (April to May, and November), making it easier to enjoy popular attractions and walk throughout Mombasa in a laid-back rhythm. Choosing to travel in the rainy season contributes to tourism dispersal, creating a positive impact on the local community.

However, it is important to know that the weather is quite unpredictable in Kenya, so we suggest checking weather patterns in advance.

Environmental Initiatives

We believe in developing tourism in a way that respects and cares for nature. With that in mind, the giraffe walk takes place in a Nature Sanctuary, where animals are well looked after.

Sociocultural and Economic Intiatives
Your days in Kenya will help you understand the culture, the guides will be locals who can provide you with details and personal stories about life there. With a 10-day length, this will be slow travel. We will be exploring some of the country's national parks, as well as the city of Mombasa, and enjoying a traditional dhow ride. The pace will be relaxed so you can soak it all in. Other activities are also local-based, which provides opportunities for cultural knowledge transfers.

This trip takes you off the beaten path, meaning your tourism revenue goes farther here in supporting local people. If you want to be seeped in nature, immersed in the culture and have an eco-friendly vacation, this trip is for you.

The money you spend will be kept fairly in the hands of those on the ground, thereby promoting the local economy. We ensure everyone hired is local and we provide them with training to further empower them.

Be sure you have traveler's insurance.
