Why people go

Cairo is the shortest flight from Nairobi to a genuinely ancient civilisation, which makes it the most affordable "wonders of the world" trip we offer. The Giza plateau is inside the city limits — you can see the pyramids from a hotel window.

We usually pair two or three nights in Cairo with a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan. It is a strong fit for school groups and for families with teenagers, and the logistics are well understood.

What you will actually do

  • Giza plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum
  • Old Cairo, Coptic Cairo and Khan el-Khalili
  • Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan
  • Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel

Pairs well with

  1. Elsewhere Lake Nakuru Fenced, close, and the most reliable place in Kenya to see both black and white rhino.
  2. Elsewhere Mount Kenya Africa’s second-highest mountain, and the highlands, forest and trout streams around it.
  3. Elsewhere Amboseli Big-tusker elephants against Kilimanjaro — the most photographed view in Kenya.
