Tsavo West National Park (Kenya)

Advantages: My husband and I went on a tour of Kenya. It was based at Sun 'n 'Sand which was equisite, with palm trees and monkeys screaming through the trees.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage was the bumpy roads.

...My husband and I went twice to Kenya, the first time the safari's were only for two nights, but the scenery was spectacular, it was barren and you could see lions hippopotomus,giraffes and elephants, there were ostrich and she must have been a mother as there were little ones running beside her. there was wild boar with frightening horns, there were teripins mounds all in red sandy clay. We had travelled with Kuoni as my poor hubby was made redundant. So it was his idea to travel afar the journey on the plane it's self was a dream. when we arrived at the airport in Mombasa we were taken to our base hotel.

...home to strange coral gardens which you can explore. The hightlight of this trip however was definately Kisite Marine National Park. This was the first time I had been snorkling and actually seen something which was worth seeing! It was amazing. Safari --------- I spent three nights away from the coast visiting Tsavo West National Park and Amboseli National Park. I experienced safari in the heat of the day, the morning and early evening.

...Tsavo east national park is the ideal place to experience the magic of african wildlife! whilst staying in kenya on honeymoon, we decided to take a saafari trip and chose Tsavo east primarily because of its position in relation to our hotel on diani beach. Tsavo east is not as large as the more well-known Masai mara reserve. there is every species on offer with the exception of flamingos. i would recommend buying your safari locally as opposed to in the uk , we saved just under £100 for a couple compared with others who booked at home.You also get the choice of which lodge you stay in as opposed to a tour company appointed one.Particularly recommende is the Voi Safari Lodge which is 5 star luxury compared to the 3 star accomadation others on our trip payed more for! enjoy africa, it's a beautiful country!...
