About this journey
Three private houses, one island home, and not a single stranger at the dinner table. Six nights on safari across Lewa and the Mara, followed by the timeless rhythms of Lamu; every property exclusively yours, with private guides, private chefs and the freedom to let each day run at your family's pace
Family travel changes completely when the whole house is yours. No dining rooms to hush the children in, no schedules built for strangers-just four remarkable private homes, each with its own chef, staff and rhythm, strung across Kenya's finest wild places.
Begin gently at Manzili House in Nairobi, then fly over Mount Kenya to Sirikoi House on Lewa, where rhino tracking and bush walks unfold with your own private guide. On to Manzili Mara, a home of rare beauty in the world's most famous game country, where dawn drives and balloon flights bend to your family's pace. Then trade dust for salt air: Pamba House on Lamu, where dhows drift past, reefs beckon, and the last days dissolve into pool, beach and Swahili starlight.
Eleven days. Four private homes. One family, and Kenya to yourselves.
