6 days Shimba Hills + Tsavo West + Diani Beach safari package
Kenya in six days. Not the curated version that picks one park and one beach and calls it done. This tsavo itinerary package moves through three distinct ecosystems, each with its own character, its own wildlife, and its own reason to be there, connected by the geography of southern Kenya in a route that makes sense of the landscape between Nairobi and the coast.
Tsavo West comes first. The largest national park in Kenya, where the elephants are red from the volcanic soil and the landscape is defined by ancient lava flows, underground springs, and the particular wildness that comes from a park too large for any vehicle to cover completely. Two nights at Ngulia Safari Lodge put you in the heart of it, with the famous floodlit waterhole below the lodge drawing wildlife through both nights.
Shimba Hills follows. A coastal forest reserve less than an hour from the Indian Ocean, home to the last significant population of sable antelope in Kenya and a landscape of rolling forested hills above the coastal plain. One night at Shimba Hills Lodge, a treehouse-style property built above a waterhole in the forest, gives you something that no other stop on this route can: the experience of sleeping above the canopy with the forest sounds around you and the chance of a sable antelope sighting that puts you in a very small group of travellers who have seen one in the wild.
Diani Beach closes the trip. Two nights at Diani Reef Beach Resort on one of East Africa’s finest stretches of Indian Ocean coastline, with the option to do everything the beach offers or nothing at all. As your dedicated tsavo tour company and diani beach tour company in one, Kent Corporate Travels handles every transfer, every arrangement, and every detail of the route so that the only thing you carry between the three stops is whatever the previous one gave you.
