This journey is one I love sharing because it offers a little bit of everything: from the Great Migration, to amazing wildlife sightings, the Big 5, plenty of rhinos, and finally, an amazing island escape. Kenya’s wild beauty is something you have to experience at least once in your life – finishing your journey in the Seychelles with its white sand and crystal clear water is the perfect ending. It’s the kind of itinerary that leaves you both exhilarated and completely restored.
