Common questions
Why Tsavo rather than the Mara for a bush-and-beach trip?+
Tsavo is far closer to the coast, so the transfer to Diani is short and easy — no long drive or extra flight. You get genuine wild safari and the beach with minimal time in transit.
Is the Diani stay all-inclusive?+
Yes — three nights all-inclusive on the beach, with meals and local drinks covered, plus the dhow cruise included.
