Classic Kenya Safari & Beach

Fly overnight from the UK to Nairobi (via Doha).

Upon arrival, you’ll be met and whisked straight to Ololo Safari Lodge, a relaxed farmhouse perched at the edge of Nairobi National Park. You will stay here for 1 night on a full-board basis.

Head out this afternoon for a game drive in the park. Track rhino, lion and giraffe in Kenya’s only national park inside a capital city — Ololo’s charming setting and peaceful garden will offer the perfect place to rest, recalibrate, and prepare for the adventure ahead.

This morning your adventure begins with a flight to Samburu National Reserve, a dramatic, semi-arid landscape known for its unique wildlife and rich Samburu culture. You’ll spend 2 nights at Elephant Bedroom Camp (Full Board), a stylish and intimate tented camp set on the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River, shaded by doum palms and acacias. The camp is often visited by elephants—hence the name—offering thrilling wildlife encounters right from your verandah.

Over the next two days, set out on morning and evening game drives with expert Samburu guides to seek out the “Samburu Five”—grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx, and gerenuk—alongside lions, leopards and elephants. Between drives, relax in your tent with its private plunge pool or enjoy a sundowner overlooking the river. Optional activities include a visit to a nearby Samburu village or a bush breakfast in the wilderness.

This morning, fly south across the Rift Valley to the iconic Masai Mara, where you’ll be met and transferred to the remote Enkewa Mara Camp (3 nights, Full Board), set in a quiet corner of the Mara ecosystem, far from the crowds. This eco-conscious tented camp is locally owned and passionately run, offering exceptional wildlife guiding, off-road safaris, and a deep connection to the land.

Over the next three days, you’ll explore the surrounding conservancy on customised 4×4 game drives, with flexible hours to follow the rhythms of wildlife—whether that’s a cheetah stalking through golden grass, lions resting in the shade, or wildebeest grazing on open plains. One morning, set out on a walking safari with a Maasai tracker for a completely different perspective, learning to read tracks and understand the ecosystem beyond the Big Five.

Back at camp, unwind in the mess tent with a G&T and enjoy meals crafted from fresh, local ingredients—served under the stars or around the communal table with your guides. With just a handful of tents, Enkewa offers an intimate, wild and truly authentic Mara experience.

Want to add a hot air balloon safari or a private Maasai cultural visit? Just ask—we can tailor your Mara experience to suit you.

After a final morning game drive, you will head to the airstrip for your light aircraft flight to Diani Beach, Kenya’s most celebrated coastal escape. You’ll spend 6 nights with breakfast included at WaterLovers, a boutique beachfront hideaway where Mediterranean charm meets Swahili style.

You will then have 5 full days to unwind beside the infinity pool, snorkel in turquoise lagoons, and dine on fresh seafood under the stars. Whether you want to kite surf, explore coral reefs, or simply sip coconut water with your toes in the sand, then this is the place to be!

After a final morning stroll along Diani’s silver sands on day 14, you will transfer to Mombasa Airport to connect with your flight home.
