A wildlife safari is still the most authentic East African experience and this tour is a fantastic opportunity for groups to spend three days seeking out the 'Big Five' - lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant and the elusive leopard.
Combined with a stay in a hotel on the beautiful beaches of the Indian Ocean, this truly is the trip of a lifetime.
All of our arrangements are flexible and STS are happy to quote you for any variations you may choose.
