safaris from the coast Jambo! Welcome to a land richly endowed by nature with the most exciting wildlife and incredibly friendly people. Short safaris are great for those looking to spend the majority of their holiday at the beach or for those looking to "bolt-on" extra sightseeing and game viewing to an exciting African adventure. Service can be slow but always friendly and food generally very good and plentiful, although you should not expect haute cuisine. A short safari combined with time at the coast is a unique holiday experience. Kenyan sunset Kuoni P L US OFFERS costs Include . . .
