11 Days Sun, Bush And Beach Kenya Safari

Kenya is a holiday paradise with its numerous parks and wildlife refuges. But many visitors are unaware that its capital, Nairobi, also provides some of the most unique travel experiences in East Africa. Just minutes from the city center you can get up close and feed a giraffe, watch baby orphan elephants play in the mud, and visit the legendary home of Karen Blixen, creator of “Out of Africa.” There is so much to see and do in this full-day adventure around Nairobi.

This morning after a game drive and breakfast out in the bush, you will catch a light aircraft flight southwest to the Masai Mara National Reserve. The open plains of the Masai Mara are a strong contrast to the mountainous north and as you soar over, you’ll see plains game dotting the landscape. You will land in the Masai Mara’s Keekorok Airstrip and be transferred to to Mara Maisha Camp. You will enjoy a hearty lunch before heading out on your afternoon game drive. This wilderness is teeming with wildlife and you’ll find some particularly impressive big cat sightings. Follow a coalition of cheetah through the plains and wait in anticipation for them to begin a hunt. Watch lion cubs frolicking around in the grass whilst their mother keeps a watchful eye on them. Ending with a scenic sundowner and a delectable dinner back at the lodge, reflecting on your day with the other guests around the campfire. Listen to lions gently roaring in the distance under the night sky, which is brimming with stars. Enjoy your exciting three days in the Masai Mara.

Now for a change of scenery! After a final morning game drive and a leisurely breakfast at the lodge, catch a flight from the Masai Mara direct to Diani Beach. Step off the plane and feel the tropical heat and refreshing ocean breeze as you are met by our driver who will transfer your to your luxury beach hotel for your four days, three nights stay. This is an exquisite hotel made up of five rooms and is beautifully designed. The next 3 days are at your own pace. Step out on the beach and feel the unbelievably soft powdery white sand between your toes, take a dip in the azure water or sink into tranquility by the pool with a cocktail in hand. If you want to explore further afield, there are the lush forests of Shimba Hills National Reserve about a 45-minute drive away. Or drift out to sea on a traditional wooden dhow boat and enjoy a gin and tonic with a backdrop of the brilliant fuchsia sky as the sun begins to set. The choice is yours.
