Check this out!!!

LATE AVAILABILITY — KENYA
Nine nights, built entirely on contrast: beach, then bush, then beach again.

🌊 Nights 1–3 — Neptune Beach Resort, Mombasa (All-Inclusive). Right on Bamburi Beach, with a freshwater pool, beach volleyball and open-air dining where the ocean's in view at every meal.

🚂 The scenic route. A first-class train transfer from Mombasa to Voi swaps the sea breeze for the dry bush of the Taita Hills — no long transfer drive, just a proper start to the second half of the trip.

🐘 Nights 4–5 — Salt Lick Safari Lodge, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary (Full Board). Built on stilts over a waterhole, with an underground tunnel that puts you eye-level with whatever's stopped by to drink — elephant, giraffe, sometimes buffalo. Shared game drives included, plus a visit to the WW1 Museum.

🌅 Nights 6–9 — back to Neptune Beach Resort (All-Inclusive) to actually unwind: long pool days, evenings at the resort's entertainment, no itinerary left to think about.

Return flights with Kenya Airways from Heathrow, 23kg baggage allowance, and AMREF Flying Doctors emergency medical cover included. Every booking also puts £20 per passenger toward community and youth development projects across Kenya.

First safari and first proper beach holiday in one trip — is nine nights really enough to do both justice? This one's built to prove it is.

From £2399pp — based on 2 adults sharing, departing 14 September 2026. Travel 1–30 September 2026. Book by 31 August 2026. Quote ref 81957. No tourist tax in Kenya. Price checked 6th August 2026 and subject to availability.
Tour operator: Somak Luxury Travel.

✈️ FLYING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE? Every itinerary we build can be tailored — different departure airports, dates, durations, passenger numbers and budgets. Solo, couples, families and groups of any size all quoted on request. Your Holiday your way.
