After Nairobi, every leg is a short flight, so there are no long road days. The family spends a night near Nairobi's airport, then flies to the Masai Mara for three nights. A flight to Amboseli follows, with two nights among large elephant herds and Kilimanjaro in view. The trip ends with four nights at Diani Beach on the south coast. Two different parks give children a change of landscape, and the beach days at the end slow the pace.
