Nairobi, Kenya — 16 nights

Green City in the Sun

Step off the beaten path and head to Safaris and Mount Longonot. Change things up with these side-trips from Nairobi: Machakos (Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park, Maanzoni Sanctuary, &more), Massai Ostrich Resort & Farm (in Kajiado) and Naivasha (Crescent Island Game Park & Enashipai Maa Museum). There's lots more to do: get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour, capture your vacation like a pro with an inspiring photography tour, contemplate the long history of Karen Blixen Coffee Garden and Cottages, and stroll through Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
