w TSAVO NATIONAL PARKS The neighbouring parks of Tsavo West and Tsavo East make the largest combined wildlife-viewing area in Kenya. Tourism density is low, making it ideal for a remote wilderness experience. Guests will see herds of elephants tinged rust-red from the clay soil, along with rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard, hippo, crocodile and waterbuck. Tsavo East is a two-and-a-half- hour drive from Mombasa and a two-hour drive from the coastal resort of Malindi, so combines well with those passing through the capital or on a beach holiday. When to visit: Between May and October, when the weather is dry and pleasant. Where to stay: Finch Hattons luxury tented camp in Tsavo West combines rustic charm with modern design. finchhattons.com Voyager Ziwani on the banks of the Sante River is ideal for watching hippos in the waters. heritage-eastafrica.com


w AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK A few days here is an absolute must for elephant-lovers – the

park is home to around 1,600 and the sight of them walking across the dusty plains beneath


the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro is memorable indeed. Big cats live here in abundance


too, and the park’s manageable size means guests are almost guaranteed to see them. The park can get busy in the dry season, so for something more exclusive, suggest one of the communally owned ranches or private concessions around its borders. Flights from Nairobi to Amboseli take around 45 minutes; driving takes two and a half hours.
