Diani Beach
Tsavo National Park
Tsavo East, one of the last great wilderness landscapes on Earth, offers a vast arena of parched scrub and heat-shimmering bush, which is washed by the azure waters of the Galana River, guarded by the Yatta Plateau and patrolled by some of the largest elephant herds in the world.
Tsavo West National Park, on the other hand, offers a panorama of sensational landscapes - from swamps, natural springs and rocky peaks to extinct volcanic cones, rolling plains and outcrops dusted with greenery. Offering crystal clear water gushing from the lava rock that is the Mzima Springs, to the Acacia woodlands and magnificent game viewing, Tsavo West is a beautiful, rugged wilderness.
Amboseli
Amboseli is world-famous for its populations of large mammals, most especially elephants of which there are around 700. The swamps are a centre of activity for elephants, hippos, buffaloes and abundant water birds. The surrounding flat grasslands are home to grazing antelopes. Spotted hyenas are plentiful, as are jackals, warthogs, olive baboons and vervet monkeys.
