Kenya is so much more than its game-rich national parks. A land rich in natural and cultural highlights, it can boast drama, majesty and some of the most idyllic coastline in East Africa. This exceptional adventure is aimed at travellers looking to enjoy Kenya’s most exclusive and unique properties, along with the wonderful range of experiences they have to offer, with everything included in the price.
Following a flight into Nairobi, you will be whisked off on a private charter to the spectacular Laikipia Plateau, where a stunning hillside lodge awaits you. Here you can enjoy game drives, guided walks, mountain biking and camel safaris, whilst your luxurious villa provides the ideal spot for a relaxing massage. The villa also comes with a butler service for the ultimate romantic, care-free Kenyan safari experience.
From Laikipia it is then on to Masai Mara, undoubtably the most iconic national park in Kenya. Witness the spectacular wildlife as the sun sets from your lodge’s Nest tree house. Next, fly to historic Lamu Island on Kenya’s east coast. Here you will board a traditional wooden dhow and spend the next few days cruising through the azure waters of the Lamu Archipelago, enjoying beach picnics and a chance to snorkel, fish and water ski in the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

Example Itinerary
This is an example itinerary. Our experts have all travelled widely in the region and will be happy to tailor any of our itineraries to suit your tastes and budget, or build a trip from scratch.
Day 1 NAIROBI - LAIKIPIA CONSERVANCY
On arrival in Nairobi you will be met at the airport and escorted over to catch your domestic flight to Loisaba. Once you arrive, you will be driven to your hotel in Ol Lentille Conservancy, Laikipia, where the remainder of the day is free to enjoy at your leisure.
Day 2 EXPLORE LAIKIPIA CONSERVANCY
The ultimate luxury experience, your villa accommodation not only comes with outstanding views and amenities but a butler service, spa treatments, game drives and activities. Enjoy the fully-inclusive experience at Ol Lentille and spend your days here camel trekking through the changing landscape, enjoying a soothing massage, playing croquet or trying your hand at archery, mountain biking, quad biking, hiking and much more.
Day 3 EXPLORE LAIKIPIA CONSERVANCY
Lying to the north-east of the Great Rift Valley, the high plains of Laikipia are considered one of Kenya's finest wildlife areas and this morning provides the opportunity to explore a little more of it on a bush walk or a horse ride. After lunch and a chance to enjoy the seclusion of the pool, you will then head out later on a night-time game drive to search out some of the lions, leopards and wild dogs for which the area is famed.
Day 4 EXPLORE LAIKIPIA CONSERVANCY
Another day of outstanding wildlife viewing and adventure activities from Ol Lentille.
Day 5 LAIKIPIA CONSERVANCY - THE MAASAI MARA
Departing Laikipia after breakfast this morning, you fly on to the famed landscapes of the Maasai Mara, surely one of Africa's most dramatic and spectacular wildlife areas. On arrival you will be driven to your camp by way of a short game drive, reaching there in time for lunch and a chance to spend the afternoon relaxing before heading out later on an early evening game drive. Serian The Original commands a truly stunning location overlooking the gently flowing waters of the Mara River with views across to the Olololo Escarpment in the distance. Wonderfully traditional and superbly run, this is a safari purist’s dream and a throwback to safaris from a gentler age.
Day 6 EXPLORE THE MAASAI MARA
With just five tents, this is a very small camp allowing the hosts and guides to focus on delivering a truly personalised safari experience. Day and night-time game drives are the main activity on offer here, but guests can also enjoy bush dinners, picnic lunches, guided bush walks and fishing in the Mara River. The camp also has access to its own private conservation area and a sleepout treehouse known as “The Nest”.
Day 7 EXPLORE THE MAASAI MARA
Another day of outstanding experiences from your luxury lodge.
Day 8 THE MAASAI MARA - MOMBASA
Transferring to the airstrip after breakfast, you will fly back to Nairobi this morning to connect with your onward flight to Ukanda Airport on Kenya's south-eastern coast. A short drive from the airport then brings you to the shores of the Indian Ocean where you will spend your final few nights enjoying the azure waters and white sand beaches of Mombasa.
Day 9 ENJOY KENYA'S SOUTHERN COAST
Stylish and impeccably run, this is doubtless one of the Kenyan coast's leading beach lodges. The gorgeous swimming pool is great for an afternoon dip and the patio around the pool is a great spot for alfresco breakfasts and lunches. As the name would suggest, the spa here is exceptional and a 30-minute complimentary massage is included for every guest. For an extra fee trips to local community projects and even to the nearby Shimba Hills National Reserve can be arranged.
Day 10 ENJOY KENYA'S SOUTHERN COAST
The offshore reefs of Kisite Marine National Park are great for snorkelling and diving, whilst the sandy shoreline can boast some of the finest beaches on the East African coast. A range of water sport activities are available such as snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, kitesurfing and visits to the Kisite Marine National Park. Please enquire in regard to included activities.
Day 11 ENJOY KENYA'S SOUTHERN COAST
Another day at leisure on the Kenyan coast.
Day 12 MOMBASA - NAIROBI
After a leisurely morning, you will be collected from the hotel and transferred back to Ukunda Airstrip for your flight to Nairobi. Upon arrival at the domestic Wilson airport, you will be met and driven across the city to the international terminal for your onward flight connections. Your tour ends here.
EXAMPLE ACCOMMODATION
The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille, Laikipia Wildlife Reserve
Small and intimate with stunning views out across the Laikipia plateau, Ol Lentille is ideal for visitors that want a truly private safari experience with just four beautifully appointed villas. Each villa has a different feel with unique designs and features; the Colonel’s and Chief’s houses have their own private plunge pools. The communal area has plenty of space for guests to relax with comfortable sofas for lazing during the afternoon, an open fireplace for the evenings and a refreshing swimming pool to help escape the heat of the day. The food is superb, with private in-villa dining being a very popular option. Activities such as quad biking and camel trekking can be enjoyed.
Serian The Original, Maasai Mara Conservancies
Serian commands a truly stunning location overlooking the gently flowing Mara River, with views across to the Olololo Escarpment. With just five tents, including a spacious family tent, it is a very small camp allowing the hosts, guides and guests to build rapport and lasting memories. Each of the tents has an adjoining bathroom, beds draped in full-length mosquito nets and private shaded decks. The main mess area is equally stylish and comfortable with lots of sofas and a spectacular decking area for alfresco breakfasts and lunches. Serian harkens back to safaris from a gentler age and also has access to its own private conservation area and a sleepout treehouse known as “The Nest”.
Kinondo Kwetu, Mombasa & Southern Coast
The beautifully styled Kinondo Kwetu overlooks Galu Beach on Kenya’s southern coast and is a wonderfully homely retreat after a hot safari. There are 15 rooms of varying styles and layouts, but all have light, airy décor and a beach lodge feel, and the bigger rooms have private covered verandas. For relaxation, head to the wood-fired sauna or the pool surrounded by sun loungers and shaded areas, where all guests receive one complimentary PADI diving lesson during their stay. Given the lodge’s proximity to the ocean, the seafood is superb. Tennis, snorkelling and community project visits can be enjoyed complimentary, whilst motorised water sports, deep sea fishing incur an extra cost.
