Itinerary is subject to change

Day 1

Arrival in Nairobi

Arrive in Nairobi and settle into a stylish city hotel, where you can unwind from your travels and soak up the city’s unique energy. Choose how to begin your Kenyan adventure: visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to meet rescued elephants, explore the leafy suburb of Karen, or dive into Nairobi’s vibrant tech and arts scene. Enjoy a restful evening, recharging for the days of adventure ahead.
Day 2

Into the Wilds of the Mara

Board a scenic flight to the Maasai Mara, where you’ll spend the next four days in a premier conservancy renowned for its abundant wildlife and sweeping vistas. Your days are filled with thrilling game drives and guided walks, giving you a front-row seat to the Mara’s legendary Big Five and, in season, the spectacle of the Great Migration. Evenings are for sundowners overlooking the plains, fireside dining, and sharing stories under a canopy of stars.
Day 3

Safari Splendors Continue

Immerse yourself further in the wonders of the Mara with more game drives, intimate walking safaris, and perhaps a hot air balloon flight at dawn for a bird’s-eye view of the savannah. Each day brings new wildlife encounters and the chance to learn about Maasai culture through village visits or cultural tours, making every moment both exhilarating and enriching.
Day 4

Last Moments in the Bush

Savor your final safari moments with a sunrise drive or a peaceful bush breakfast. Capture those last iconic photos, then prepare to leave the wilderness behind as you transfer to the airstrip for your flight to the coast. The transition from bush to beach is as dramatic as it is seamless, promising a new chapter of relaxation and discovery.
Day 5

Arrival on the Coast

Touch down on Kenya’s stunning coastline, where your beach resort awaits. Settle into your room with ocean views, then let the rhythm of the waves set the pace. Spend your afternoon lounging on powdery sands, taking a dip in the turquoise sea, or indulging in a spa treatment to unwind after your safari adventure.
Day 6

Coastal Adventures

Awake to the gentle sounds of the Indian Ocean and choose your own adventure. Try snorkeling or diving among colorful coral reefs, set out on a guided excursion to discover local marine life, or explore the vibrant markets and historic sites of a Swahili coastal town. As the sun sets, embark on a dhow cruise for a magical evening on the water, or simply relax with a cocktail and watch the sky turn gold.
Day 7

Swahili Culture & Relaxation

Dedicate your final full day to pure relaxation or cultural immersion. Take a Swahili cooking class, enjoy a beachfront yoga session, or visit a local village to learn about coastal traditions and crafts. Spend your afternoon savoring fresh seafood, wandering along the shoreline, or unwinding by the pool. Let the laid-back pace of the coast refresh you before your journey home.
Day 8

Departure

Enjoy a final morning by the sea, soaking in the last views and gentle breezes. After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your onward journey, carrying with you the unforgettable contrasts and connections of Kenya’s bush and beach – a journey that truly offers it all.
