Kenya Highlights

Amboseli National Park is one of the most beautiful wildlife destinations in Africa — a 392 square kilometre park at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m), offering the finest views of Africa's highest mountain from anywhere in Kenya. Amboseli is famous for its large herds of free-ranging elephants — the most studied elephant population in the world — which can be photographed with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. The park also has lions, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, hippos, and over 400 species of birds. The combination of the extraordinary elephant herds and the iconic backdrop of Kilimanjaro makes Amboseli one of the most photogenic wildlife destinations in the world.

Diani Beach is consistently rated one of the finest beaches in Africa — a 17km stretch of white coral sand on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya, 30km south of Mombasa. The beach has crystal-clear turquoise water, a fringing coral reef with extraordinary snorkelling and diving, and a backdrop of lush coastal forest. Diani is also home to the Colobus Conservation project — protecting the endangered Angolan colobus monkey that lives in the coastal forest. The combination of the extraordinary beach, the coral reef, the warm Indian Ocean water, and the extraordinary wildlife of the coastal forest makes Diani one of the most complete beach destinations in Africa.
