After a scenic flight from Wilson Airport, you'll land at Ngerende Airstrip, where a guide will be waiting to transfer you to House in the Wild, a secluded eco-lodge set along the banks of the Mara River. Tucked away in the private Enonkishu Conservancy, this is a deeply personal safari experience, blending adventure with meaningful conservation efforts. With just a handful of cottages surrounded by acacia-dotted landscapes, House in the Wild provides an exclusive and tranquil escape into the heart of the Masai Mara.

During your three-night stay, you'll go on game drives, witnessing the diverse wildlife of the Mara without the crowds of the main reserve. Spot elephants, lions, and cheetahs on morning and evening drives, take a guided bush walk, or visit a nearby Maasai community to gain insight into their traditions and way of life. Back at the lodge, unwind with a sundowner overlooking the river, enjoy farm-to-table meals sourced from the lodge's regenerative agriculture initiative, and relax under the stars with the distant calls of the wild as your soundtrack.

With its thatched cottages, sweeping views, and exclusive location, Lewa House is a perfect balance of comfort and immersion in nature.

During your three-night stay, you'll explore Lewa's vast landscapes through game drives, guided bush walks, and even horseback safaris, encountering a spectacular variety of wildlife, including endangered black and white rhinos, Grevy's zebras, and big cats. As a leader in conservation, Lewa offers a chance to learn about its groundbreaking efforts in protecting wildlife and supporting local communities. Between adventures, relax by the pool, enjoy delicious farm-to-table meals, and soak in the tranquillity of this remarkable sanctuary.

Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed and transferred to the Naisabah Dhow, a beautifully handcrafted sailing vessel that will be your home for the next five nights. Designed for both comfort and adventure, this traditional Swahili dhow offers an immersive and intimate way to explore Kenya's pristine Lamu Archipelago.

Your five-night journey aboard the Naisabah Dhow will take you along the unspoiled coastline, drifting between hidden coves, remote islands, and powder-soft beaches. Spend your days snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, kayaking through mangrove forests, and soaking up the laid-back rhythm of coastal life. As the sun sets, dine on freshly caught seafood, relax under a canopy of stars, and let the gentle sway of the dhow lull you to sleep. Whether exploring the rich Swahili culture of Lamu Town, strolling along deserted shores, or simply unwinding on deck, this barefoot-luxury experience is the perfect way to conclude your Kenyan adventure.
