Travel challenge: A safari and beach holiday in Kenya
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Every week we invite competing companies to give us their best deal for a specific holiday. Today: a 10-night holiday in Kenya combining safari and beach. Prices are per person, based on two departing from Heathrow in early March.
W&O Travel Rainbow Tours
£3,710: Maasai Mara and Diani Beach
Includes flights on 5 March, transfers, four nights at the tented Elephant Pepper Camp and six nights at Kinondo Kwetu in Diani Beach, full board, game drives and park fees. "The all-inclusive price and discount on accommodation at these two top-class lodges offers great value. It's worth paying a little extra for direct flights from the Mara to the coast, as this maximises your time," says Alison Holman at W&O Travel Rainbow Tours (020-7226 1004; rainbowtours.co.uk).

"Travel as part of a small group through some of Kenya's most established national parks to see an abundance of wildlife. For a more private experience, the 4x4s can be booked exclusively from £500," says Kirsty Belcher at Tropical Sky (0844 332 9349; tropicalsky.co.uk).
