Tsavo National Park holidays
At almost 22,000 square kilometres, Tsavo is Kenya’s largest national park. It is comprised of two separate parks – East and West – divided by the railway from Mombasa to Kenya’s interior. They are two distinct ecosystems: Tsavo East is generally flat, with dry, undulating plains crossed by the Galana River; Tsavo West is more mountainous and is wetter than its counterpart, with swamps and wooded hills. This unspoilt wilderness can be traversed for hours without seeing another traveller, but wildlife is abundant. Resident species include lions, leopards, crocodiles, buffalo, pods of hippos and vast herds of elephants. Birdlife is also plentiful, with more than 500 species including the martial eagle, vulturine guineafowl and the secretary bird.

Mr Ansar"
"The acommodation and game drive arrangements were first class and the ranger went out of his way to get us in the best positions to view the wildlife and his knowledge was amazing. At Isandwhana and Rorkes Drift the resident historian brought the battles to life to the extent that you almost felt you were there.
Mr Harvey Harrison"
"My husband and I both thought the tour was excellent - very well thought out and executed - but John made the trip for us. I would rate him as one of the best tour leaders I have ever encountered - and I state that after travelling widely and frequently for over 40 years. John worked continuously in the most conscientious manner. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he took a huge pride in his work. John definitely added a quality and enjoyment factor to our travelling experience. I hope this young man has a great future in tourism - he is certainly a credit to your company. Our driver was very good, too. I was enchanted by the beauty of the landscape and would love to return to Madagascar sometime in the future. Thank you for show-casing this beautiful island in such a great way.
Mrs Jeanette Ruberry"
"Although the rock churches of Lalibela were particularly impressive, it was the overall balance of sights that impressed us: the stelae of Axum and the castles of Gondar plus the magnificence of the Simien Mountains and Lake Tana.
Mr Roger Darlington"
"Arriving at the Shamwari Game Reserve was the high point of the holiday. Luxurious accommodation in a superb location. Great service, food and game drives combined to make a truly one-off experience.
Mrs Janice McGlashon"
"The safari into the Serengeti will be remembered for our lifetime. Lions feasting on a buffalo kill, evening sunsets, staying in tented camps with the sounds of the wild around us.
Mrs Suzanne Vincent"
"The tours to the battlefields and the guides themselves were brilliant.
Mr Gordon Carter"
"Many thanks for arranging a brilliant itinerary in Namibia – we had an extraordinary time.
Ms Iles"
"Seeing animals unique to Madagascar in their natural environment and able to photograph them as they fed and interacted with each other [was inspirational]. The tour guide, Tokey, had an amazing knowledge of all of the wildlife, plants - latin names included - and the history of the country and its people and customs.
Mr Ian Culley"
"The landscapes of Namibia were more than I had imagined and the people so friendly. All your hotels and lodges were perfect but you left the best till last - The Africat Foundation! This was a truly memorable experience and I hope you keep it in your tours for others to enjoy. Once again, many thanks for a wonderful holiday. We will certainly use Cox and Kings again!
Ms Canning"
"Ethiopia is an absolutely fascinating country - one which fully deserves to be known better. The infrastructure details were accurately described in your brochure, and any shortcomings were made up with the richness of historical culture offered to us. Thank you for a brilliant holiday.
Mr & Mrs Sheppee"
"We had a great holiday. So thanks for your help and advice in putting that together.
Mr. Hazelden"
"An excellent itinerary. Transfers were seamless.
Mr and Mrs Johnson"
"The entire Ethiopian experience, coffee making in a small hut, sitting with Gelada baboons in the Simian Mountains, the churches of Lalibela, and the exciting participation in Timkat was an experience not to be missed.
Mrs Suzanne Vincent"
