Classic Safari and Island Dreams Kenya Seychelles

Review and summary of 11 Nights Safari with Classic Safari and Island Dreams Kenya Seychelles

This Classic Safari and Island Dreams Kenya Seychelles tour is a combination of a classic African safari in Kenya and a tropical dream island holiday in the Seychelles.

On the safari leg, you go through Kenya’s most popular game viewing locations.

You begin with Amboseli, which sits on the lower slopes of mighty Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa’s highest. The animal pictures arising against the dramatic backdrop of the mountain will thrill the photography enthusiast.

Then to the Aberdares where you find icy rivers, spectacular waterfalls and rain forests. Here elephants, buffalos and other animals visit you at the floodlit waterholes of The Ark.

And on to Lake Nakuru whose claim to fame is anchored on its flamingo's and the over 400 species of birds found here.

This soda lake on the floor of the rift valley is host to millions of flamingos and an important refuge for endangered species- particularly the Rothschild Giraffe and the black and white rhino.

You round off at Maasai Mara, Kenya’s most famous and finest game sanctuary. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe.

You will easily see the Big Five- lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, and elephant. Not to mention numerous plain animals. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place.

This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in search of water and pasture.

Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna. The famous Maasai tribesmen live within the dispersal area of the game reserve.

The Seychelles is a top-drawer beach destination. Here you experience the island paradise of your dreams: peaceful and stunningly beautiful.

The main draw here is has always been the beaches, snorkeling and diving. The attractions of the natural world particularly the bird life, tropical fish and the unique physical environment are a bonus.
