Kenya And Seychelles Conservation: Bush And Beach Itinerary
Along with providing incredible experiences, this beach and bush tour also helps local communities and wildlife conservation efforts. Spending the night in Nairobi National Park is the first stop on your journey through Kenya. This is the perfect place to relax before your Kenya And Seychelles Conservation safari because you will be in the middle of nature yet still close to the action of the city.
The famed Masai Mara is the setting for the real safari adventure, which takes place in a private reserve that gives guests more freedom to roam the Mara’s expansive wilderness. As you soar from Nairobi to the island paradise of the Seychelles, the action eases up after an exhilarating safari. Before heading to a private island in the Seychelles archipelago, Cousine Island Resort, spend three nights on the mainland at Story Seychelles. Not only is it a tropical paradise with complete seclusion, but it is also a sanctuary for endangered species. You get the entire island to yourself for a day of swimming, snorkeling, island exploration, spa treatments, and, finally, watching the sunset with a refreshing drink in hand.
This island getaway and safari in the Masai Mara is ideal for anyone seeking a relaxing vacation in the African bush and along the stunning coastlines of the Indian Ocean. With this special opportunity, you can be certain that your time in this unspoiled environment will go directly toward conservation and the betterment of the local people.
