Amboseli National Park, in Kenya’s Rift Valley, is an alluring combination of untouched grassland, intriguing indigenous people and a diverse ecosystem unlike any other in the world. In the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro, free-roaming elephants, giraffes, baboons and more than 600 bird species make the savanna their home.

Taveta is located approximately halfway between Nairobi and Mombasa, close to the Tanzanian border and within the Tsavo West National Park. Nearby Mt. Kilimanjaro, vast grassy plains and volcanic hills make this town an ideal starting point for adventurers of all kinds. Kayak on the tranquil waters of Lake Chala, a crater lake fed by the mountain’s melting snow. Or, hike on the nature trails at the Chyulu Hills surrounded by grassland and endless sky. For a change of scenery, visit the busy market in town.

Mombasa is a bustling seaside city known for its plentiful beaches along the Indian Ocean. Home to approximately 1 million people, it is the second-largest city in Kenya. As the largest port in East Africa, Mombasa’s multicultural population speaks more languages than Kenya’s 2 official languages, Swahili and English.

I understand that any such request made by a hotel is outside of the control of Rovia and is strictly a hotel policy. Should I have questions concerning one of the hotel’s policy, I accept responsibility for contacting the hotel independent of Rovia.
