Itinerary

Day 1
Djibouti Djibouti is a late 19th-century city with a distinctly Arabic feel. Attractions include the lively Central Market, many good local restaurants. Also worth seeing is the Tropical Aquarium with underwater exhibits from the Red Sea. Nearby are beaches at Dorale. Djibouti lies within a geological feature known as the Afar Triangle, one of the hottest and most desolate places on Earth. Part of the Great Rift Valley system, it is a wedge of flat desert pushing into the Ethiopian Massif, largely below sea level. Surrounded by dormant volcanoes and lava fields, Lake Assal, is one of the lowest surface areas anywhere on the planet -150m (570 ft) below sea level. Kensington Tours donates a portion of proceeds to our charitable initiative www.kensingtoncares.com which supports education-based initiatives in disadvantaged communities. Airport transfer with private vehicle, driver and English speaking guide. Away from the busy districts, yet only few minutes from the airport, Djibouti Palace Kempinski is ideally located at a prime beachfront between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, in a secluded and peaceful setting of palms and bougainvillea. The vanilla coloured Hotel's silhouette etched against the turquoise blue of the African sky and the deep Ocean. The fantastic Infinity pool together with a Junior pool maximize the refreshing sea breezes. Djibouti Palace Kempinski features a plethora of entertainment amenities, including a fully equipped fitness center, Mountain Bikes, Outdoor swimming pool, Mini Club, Restaurants and Bars.
