Kenya and Seychelles Package: Safari and Beach
Go on a thrilling African safari and finish with a relaxing beach getaway with this Kenya and Seychelles Travel Package.
We designed this Kenya and Seychelles Package for a couple from Indianapolis. They wanted to go on a luxury safari and finish with a relaxing beach getaway.
They began their journey in Amboseli National Park and stayed at Tortilis Camp, a luxury tented camp with unparalleled views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. They arrived at camp just in time for a delicious lunch, then took a tour of a local village with the help of their Maasai guides. After their cultural excursion, they took an evening game drive and had excellent elephant sightings, as Amboseli is known for its abundant elephants. They stopped for a lovely sundowner in the bush before returning to camp for an exquisite dinner.
After 2 nights at Tortilis, their Kenya and Seychelles Package continued with a stay at Sunbird Lodge, set in the magnificent Great Rift Valley. They enjoyed picturesque views of Lake Elementaita and watched the hippos lounging on its shores. They also were able to see plenty of beautiful birdlife from the comfort of the deck overlooking the lake. They visited nearby Lake Nakuru National Park to see the truly stunning sight of thousands of flamingos lining the lakeshore, then took a game drive to see rhinos, giraffes, tree-climbing lions, and more.
Next on their Kenya and Seychelles Package, they visited Mara Porini Camp on a Maasai-owned nature reserve. There, they took a hot air balloon safari to see the Kenyan plains and abundant wildlife from a unique vantage point. Next, they overnighted in Nairobi before continuing on to their beach getaway.
They spent 6 nights at the luxurious Ephelia Resort in the Seychelles. This spacious, contemporary resort is surrounded by lush landscape and scintillating lagoons. Their stay at Ephelia was completely at leisure, with plenty of time to dive in the cerulean waters, go sea kayaking in the Indian Ocean surrounded by magical green mountains, and explore the sandy white beach. They also indulged in luxurious spa treatments and delectable gourmet cuisine at the resort.
Their Kenya and Seychelles Package ended with a transfer to the airport, where they caught their connecting flight back home.
