"This is a fantastic safari and in fact our best selling Kenya trip as you'll see a wide variety of wildlife and landscapes, and stay in some really nice accommodation. All your meals and game drives are included in the cost, and everyone gets a window seat in the 7 seater vehicle. The beach part of the holiday is flexible - you can change the duration, the hotel or even just do the safari. The beach hotel featured is again our best selling and has have wonderful feedback from customers over the years. Please note that for this trip, flights normally depart the UK on a Sunday, but if you wanted to do a bit extra in Nairobi, for example visit the giraffe centre or elephant orphanage, then you can easily fly out to Kenya a day or two earlier."

A. I've done it myself and it's a once in a lifetime experience to float high above the plains watching wildlife below.
