13-Day Luxury Nairobi, Ol Pejeta, Masai Mara & Diani

Itinerary information

Arrive in Nairobi and meet your driver just outside the arrivals terminal for your transfer to the tranquil, leafy suburb of Karen. Here, you'll spend two nights at Manzili House, a luxurious boutique hotel inspired by the Swahili architecture of Lamu Island. This serene retreat features spacious rooms, lush gardens, a sparkling pool, and rooftop dining, creating the perfect space to unwind and recharge.

Your Nairobi safari begins the following morning when your guide takes you to the nearby Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage. Join the daily tour to meet the young, orphaned elephants, interact with their devoted caretakers, and learn about the Trust's incredible work rehabilitating and reintroducing elephants into the wild.

After your morning with the elephants, head to the Giraffe Centre to meet the endangered Rothschild giraffes, found only in East Africa. Learn about their conservation efforts at the information centre, hand-feed these gentle giants from the tall platform, and take a nature walk near the Gogo River, keeping an eye out for the resident warthog family. End your visit with refreshments at the Tea House before returning to Manzili House for a refreshing swim, relaxing sundowners, and a peaceful night's rest—ready for your safari adventure to begin the next day.

Itinerary information

On your second morning in Nairobi, enjoy breakfast before meeting your driver for a transfer to Wilson Airport. Here, you'll board a scenic light aircraft flight to Laikipia's Kamok Airstrip, where your guide will be waiting to welcome you and drive you to your base for the next three nights, Sanctuary Tambarare.

Nestled among graceful fever trees at the foot of Mount Kenya, Sanctuary Tambarare offers sweeping views of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a pristine 90,000-acre haven for wildlife. This tranquil retreat provides a front-row seat to one of Kenya's most remarkable landscapes and conservation success stories.

Unforgettable experiences await you here: tracking rhinos with expert guides, riding horses alongside rare species like Grevy's zebra and Jackson's hartebeest and encountering the Big Five on game drives. For a more intimate connection with the wilderness, take a guided bush walk or visit the resident hippos along the Ewaso Nyiro River. Active travellers can try a cycling safari, tackle a 5–7 km trail run, or join a fitness class. For those interested in culture, meaningful community interactions provide insight into the lives of the people who call the Ol Pejeta area home.

Itinerary information

After a final morning soaking in the views of Ol Pejeta, you'll head back to the airstrip for your flight to the iconic Masai Mara, where the next three nights will be spent at Sanctuary Olonana, enjoying some of Africa's most classic safari scenes.

On a lush private stretch of the Mara River, Sanctuary Olonana is an intimate haven in Kenya's iconic Masai Mara National Reserve. The prime location places you at the centre of the action, especially during the Wildebeest Migration (July to October), when scores of animals cross the river, braving predators and currents in their quest for greener pastures—an unforgettable wildlife spectacle.

Outside of migration season, the Masai Mara teems with resident wildlife, including incredible Big Five encounters. Daily game drives and bush walks allow for close-up experiences, while cultural visits to Maasai villages offer fascinating insights into the traditions of this iconic community. For a truly unique perspective, take to the skies on a hot-air balloon safari and marvel at the sweeping vistas of the landscape as you float above the wildlife below.

Itinerary information

Bid farewell to the Masai Mara as you make your way to the airstrip after breakfast for a flight to Ukunda Airport, via Kichwa Tembo Airstrip. Upon arrival, a driver will take you to the pristine shores of Diani Beach, where Alfajiri Beach Villa awaits, the perfect finale to your Kenyan journey.

Stretching for miles along the turquoise Indian Ocean, Diani Beach is a paradise of soft, white sands, colourful tropical flowers, palm trees and vibrant coral reefs. Alfajiri Beach Villa offers the ultimate retreat after the thrill of an East African safari.

The villa itself is a haven of style and comfort, adorned with unique furnishings from India, Morocco, and Africa, and surrounded by lush palm gardens just a few steps away from the beach. A dedicated team—including butlers, chefs, childminders, and a private masseuse for daily treatments—ensures your stay is completely effortless. Your hosts, the villa owners, provide personalised attention, arranging every activity to suit your preferences.

Water-based activities include kite surfing, snorkelling, deep-sea fishing, or excursions to the stunning Kisite Marine National Park on a traditional dhow. On land, discover forest elephants in the Shimba Hills, enjoy quad-biking, or tee off at the nearby 18-hole golf course.

After soaking up the last moments of your Kenya beach and safari holiday, your driver will transfer you to Ukunda Airport. From here, board your flight back to Nairobi's Wilson Airport, where a driver will be waiting to take you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your journey home or onward to your next destination.
