KENYA BEACH AND BUSH SAFARI HOLIDAY – FULL ITINERARY
Arrival Day: Karibu Nairobi, Kenya
Welcome to East Africa
Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our trusted representative and assisted through arrival formalities. Enjoy a smooth transfer to a charming boutique hotel in Nairobi — the perfect haven to relax and prepare for your journey ahead.
Days 2–4: Watamu Beach - Serenity by the Indian Ocean Unwind, Explore, and Discover the Magic of the Coast
After breakfast, fly to the scenic palm-fringed shores of Watamu Beach, one of Kenya’s most beautiful coastal escapes. Upon arrival, transfer to your Swahili-inspired resort, where tranquil gardens and soft ocean breezes invite you to slow down and savour the moment.
Spend the next few days embracing the coast’s unique rhythm at your own pace — swim in the turquoise waters of Watamu Marine National Park, snorkel among vibrant coral gardens, or spot playful dolphins and sea turtles gliding through the reef. Between November and February, keep an eye out for the gentle giants of the sea — whale sharks.
For cultural enrichment, explore the ancient ruins of Gede, visit the Watamu Turtle Watch conservation project, or enjoy a traditional sunset dhow cruise across the shimmering Indian Ocean. When relaxation calls, retreat to the resort for a spa treatment, poolside cocktails, or a peaceful stroll along the beach as the sun melts into the horizon.
Day 5: From the Coast to the Savannah - Journey to the Maasai Mara
The Wild Heart of Kenya Awaits
After breakfast, fly back to Nairobi and continue onward to the legendary Maasai Mara. As you soar above the Great Rift Valley, admire the dramatic scenery unfolding below — vast plains, scattered acacia trees, and winding rivers that define this breathtaking landscape.
Upon landing, embark on your first game drive en route to your elegant tented camp. After a warm welcome and lunch, spend the afternoon relaxing before heading out for an evening drive, where lions, elephants, and giraffes roam freely across the golden grasslands.
Days 6–8: Maasai Mara – Wildlife, Wonder & Discovery
A Classic Safari Experience with a Personal Touch
Spend the next few days exploring one of Africa’s most iconic reserves. Enjoy twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, guided by expert naturalists who bring the wilderness to life with their knowledge and storytelling. Witness the Big Five in their natural habitat, watch cheetahs sprint across the plains, and marvel at the Mara’s ever-changing light — from pink dawns to fiery sunsets.
Enhance your safari with a hot-air balloon experience at sunrise (optional), drifting silently above the savannah as wildlife stirs below — a breathtaking moment you’ll never forget. In the evenings, unwind at camp, enjoy gourmet dining, and sip sundowners as the sky turns to gold. Evenings bring Maasai storytelling, traditional Maasai dance around the campfire followed by a peaceful dinner. Fall asleep to the distant calls of wild animals under a canopy of stars.
Day 9: Maasai Mara to Nairobi - A Taste of Authentic Kenya
From the Wild to the Warmth of the Hills
Enjoy an early morning game drive and a final breakfast in camp before your flight back to Nairobi.
Upon arrival to Nairobi, set off on a scenic drive to the rolling Mua Hills in Machakos. Here, you’ll be welcomed into a local homestead — the family farm of your host, Nthenya. Enjoy a farm-to-table lunch prepared with fresh, homegrown ingredients, and share stories with the family as you experience authentic Kenyan village life firsthand. This intimate visit offers a meaningful connection to Kenya’s people and traditions — a chance to slow down, reflect, and truly feel the warmth of African hospitality. Later, return to Nairobi for your final overnight stay at a comfortable, well-appointed city retreat.
Day 10: Nairobi - Kwaheri Kenya
A Fond Farewell
On your final morning, visit the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, home to orphaned elephants lovingly being cared for and rehabilitated in preparation for their return to the wild. After, take a short trip to the Giraffe Centre to meet the famous Rothschild giraffes and learn about the conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures. After a leisurely lunch, transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your flight home — carrying with you memories of Kenya’s beauty, warmth, and wild spirit.
