The perfect balance of safari and relaxation, dramatic Big 5 game drives in Kenya's finest reserves followed by days on the white-sand beaches of the Indian Ocean coast.
10 nights on safari across the Mara, Lewa, followed by three nights on the Kenyan coast. A natural rhythm, early game drives, sundowners, time to read on the beach.
Upon arriving at the Jomo Kenyatta International and you will be met by our Airport representative and assisted through Immigration & Customs. Your driver will be waiting at the arrivals and you will be assisted with your luggage to the waiting private vehicle. A short transfer brings you to Manzili House for a quiet first night; recover, exhale, and let East Africa start gently.
Breakfast at Manzili house and your driver will transfer you to Wilson airport. A scenic light-aircraft flight north over Mount Kenya delivers you into Lewa; 62,000 acres of private conservancy with one of the highest densities of black rhino in Africa. An afternoon game drive eases you into safari rhythm.

On this day after breakfast, your guide will transfer you back to Lewa Downs airstrip for a Mid-morning shared scheduled flight to the Maasai Mara. Your light aircraft descends over the Siria Escarpment and the Mara Triangle unfolds below ,vast, golden and alive. At Manzili Mara, one of East Africa's most extraordinary private homes, the afternoon game drive awaits before sundowners on the deck and dinner under the stars.
Rise before dawn for an early morning game drive — the Mara at first light is something else entirely. Big cats on the move, elephants crossing the plains, the air still cool and quiet. Return to the house for a leisurely breakfast before heading out again in the late afternoon. The Mara Triangle is consistently regarded as the finest game viewing area in the entire Masai Mara ecosystem — and days like this show you exactly why. End the evening with a private bush dinner, the sounds of the African night all around you.

An hour in the air, then a gentle landing where a champagne bush breakfast awaits in the golden morning light. The kind of morning you'll spend the rest of your life trying to describe.
Savour one last sunrise game drive before reluctantly packing your bags. Manzili Mara has a way of making departure feel impossible. A final breakfast on the terrace, then transfer to the airstrip for your light aircraft which will fly you to Ukunda -Diani airport in Mombasa. A driver will meet you and transfer you to Msambweni Beach House.. Your private villa awaits, its own infinity pool, panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, and the sound of waves below. The afternoon is yours to settle in, take a leisurely swim and exhale. As the sun dips into the ocean, dinner is served on the beach, fresh seafood, Swahili spices and the warm salt air of the Kenya coast.
The Indian Ocean beckons. Spend the morning snorkeling or diving in the crystal-clear waters, exploring vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Back at the house for a poolside lunch, then an afternoon of complete indulgence — a massage on the beach, the sound of the ocean your only company. Sundowners from the terrace as the sky turns pink.
Spend the day at leisure!
On this day, after your last activity you will be transferred back to Ukunda-Diani airport for your scheduled shared flight back to Wilson Airport. Your Nairobi driver will meet you and transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
