Upon arrival at Leopard beach Resort we are
welcomed with warm towels and cool cocktails.
Walking down to the beach I discover white sands and blue waters – the
atmosphere is serene and peaceful; what bliss.
We ended the day with great food, a live band, fine wine and good
company.
Our beaches in Africa are amazing. Today we explore more of the South
Coast; the beaches are brochure perfect!
We has all just gone for a swim; and the water is warm and inviting. We ended
the day with sundowners at the beach bar at the Diamonds Neptune Palm Resort.
Day 1:
An early start and eager to visit Mombasa in Kenya. Boarding the flight at 07:45 and 3 and a half
hours later we in Mombasa. As I step off
the plane I immediately feel the hot and humid tropical air of Mombasa.
I think I should go to the “ladies” and change into
something more “Island style”.
Greeted by the warm and friendly people of Mombasa we are
transferred to the South coast of Mombasa.
“Wow” what an eye opener Mombasa is more modern than I thought I we
drive to the South Coast. I notice
little shopping centre’s called “Naku mat” which hosts a Woolworths and Mr
Price.
What I find really interesting and unique is that we have to
get onto a ferry and when I say we; I
mean literally the whole mini-van and luggage onto a ferry to cross over to the
South Coast of Mombasa. What an
experience!
Day 2:
Day 3:
Another inviting sunrise in Mombasa, the highlight of the day was the delightful
lunch at Serena Beach Village; nothing
beats the taste of fresh seafood “just caught”
and put into the hot pan.
Day 4:
An early start. We
all ready and geared for a day in Tsavo National Park. As we journey to the National Park we
experience a bit of city traffic;
similar to the peak hour traffic one would experience in Johannesburg –
who would have thought. However this traffic was more enjoyable as we had
excellent company and a great picnic style breakfast compliments of Neptune Beach Hotel.
What a day filled with adventure and awesome game
viewing, a lion to my left and a dazzle
of Zebra’s to my right. We encounter a true 4x4 adventure by getting stuck in
the mud; our very professional and knowledgeable
guides manage to get us free. What an
adrenaline rush being stuck in the middle of the wilderness with wild animals
roaming freely.
We arrive at our very “top notch” hotel Sarova White Sands
at around 18:00 this evening. All
exhausted from the Safari adventure; we
still managed to enjoy a full on buffet with great live entertainment at the
Sarova White Sands.
In a nut-shell Mombasa is a great destination with lots to
do and see!
