What To Expect

Journey Overview

Kenya is not your average safari destination, if you’re an avid traveler and when dreaming of visiting here, is often images of a safari in a wilderness full of majestic land animals that first come to mind, which is only a facet to the glory this country beholds. There is but an extraordinary ocean life on palm fringed sandy beaches of turquoise water where life is in abundance and when often combined with a safari, it is unrivalled in its own grandeur. 

Experience the romance of this combined African safari and beach adventure, enveloped in the breathtaking beauty of the bush and beach on this 10-day itinerary through Kenya. Your journey will be marked by rich cultural elements, and the unrivalled hospitality that is a signature of any visit to Kenya. 

Discover Nairobi’s wildlife sanctuaries, and historical landmarks like Karen Blixen’s home in Nairobi; witness the boundless plains and rugged outcrops of East Africa’s world-famous Masai Mara reserve; explore the landscapes and wildlife of the Chyulu Hills, dominated by some of Africa’s last big-tusker elephants, and shadowed by ever-present views of towering Mt Kilimanjaro; lose yourself in a cocoon of beach beauty as you relax in your private villa on the Kenyan Coast. From riveting game drives, to fascinating walking safaris; the thrill of large lion prides, to the romance of a candlelit dinner; the feeling of the breeze through your hair as you revel in a horseback riding adventure, to the serenity of an African sunset, this itinerary has it all.
