The world-renowned Masai Mara in Kenya, teems with an astonishing variety of wildlife, which you can enjoy observing while savouring the quintessential African savannah and bush scenery.
White coral sand beaches, warm azure seas, dramatic granitic boulders and swaying palm trees make the Seychelles an alluring beach destination.
For an unforgettable escape, combine an exciting Big-Five safari in Kenya's Masai Mara, with a week's rest & relax time in the Seychelles.
This sample itinerary is just an example of how you can achieve these wonderful two-centre combination holidays - if you'd prefer other camps or national parks in Kenya, and/or a different island or hotel in the Seychelles, call our team for a tailored quotation - we'd be delighted to assist!
