The complete overland route: Kilimanjaro views from Amboseli, Tsavo's twin parks, Malindi's Swahili coast, and Mombasa's beaches to close it out.

Community-based projects, home-stays, bush dinners, sundowners and Maasai Manyatta visits.
Known as the "Coca-Cola route" for its hut-to-hut sleeping and on-site sodas and beers, Marangu is the mountain's most popular path — and the only one offering that relative comfort the whole way up. Guides walk with you the entire climb, monitoring altitude adjustment; porters carry everything but your day-pack.
Per person, single departure — Marangu route, ex-Nairobi. Includes transport, huts, guides & porters, park fees, and all meals. Excludes insurance, tips, and personal items. An 8-day acclimatisation option is available on request.

Descent past Mandara Hut to the gate, where summit certificates are issued — green for Gillman's Point, gold for Uhuru Peak.

A half-day visit to Mtwapa's butterfly farm, an easy add-on to any north-coast beach stay.
White sand beaches and a distinct culinary and cultural identity that has earned Malindi its nickname.
The remains of a 14th-century Arab-African town — a sunken reception court, a king's tomb, and a palace entrance still standing.
A baby hippo swept out to sea by the December 2004 tsunami was rescued on the Kenyan coast — and formed an unlikely, lasting bond with a giant male tortoise nearly a century old. Ecologists at the sanctuary describe the hippo, nicknamed Owen, treating the tortoise exactly as he would his own mother: following him everywhere, and turning protective if anyone gets too close.
You can meet them both at Bamburi Nature Trail (Haller's Park), included on our Mombasa city excursions.
