After touching down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, you are met by your driver/guide and transferred to the world’s only national park within the limits of a capital city. Nairobi National Park is a rolling wilderness that’s home to iconic animals like lion, rhino, buffalo, and giraffe, all of which can be photographed against Nairobi’s skyscraper background.

Nairobi Tented Camp is the only camp inside the park and beautifully nestled within a riverine forest. You’ll arrive in time for a delicious lunch, followed by some downtime before you embark on your first game drive of the trip. Scenic sundowner drinks and a bush dinner will cap your first day in Africa.

After breakfast, you depart for Nairobi’s Wilson Airport for a charter flight to the Masai Mara. You are met by your driver/guide at the airstrip and transferred to Porini Mara Camp. Keep your peeled for wildlife!

Your home for the next few days is Porini Mara Camp, an authentic and intimate safari camp situated in a private conservancy alongside the Masai Mara National Reserve. The conservancy belongs to the local Maasai community who has set aside the area as a sanctuary for wildlife. Your spacious tent is perched on the shady banks of a charming natural spring, and comfortably appointed with a double bed and an en suite bathroom.

You spend your time exploring various Masai Mara private conservancies as well as the national reserve on daily game drives. The area is famous for its fantastic big cat sightings, especially lion and cheetah. Thanks to the Mara’s flat and wide-open landscape, cheetahs thrive here because they have ample space in which to chase down their prey. If you’re lucky enough to witness a cheetah hunt, you’ll be in for a thrilling wildlife scene.

After a morning game drive or a guided nature walk with a Maasai warrior, you enjoy breakfast at Porini Mara Camp before heading back to the airstrip for a charter flight to Nairobi. You’ll have time to enjoy a quick lunch at Wilson Airport before you board another short flight to the Mombasa South Coast. Here you are met by a driver who will transfer you to the tranquil Pinewood Beach Resort & Spa.

Rated among the top beach resorts in Mombasa, Pinewood is an award-winning boutique hotel situated on Diani Beach, world-famous for its flawless white sands and safe, shallow water. Pinewood’s ground-floor suites are elegant and airy, with breath-taking views of the ocean or the property’s gorgeous gardens.

The resort offers a variety of indoor and outdoor activities like beach volleyball, tennis, and kite surfing, or you can simply relax on the beautiful and safe beach. Days on safari can be long, dusty, and action-packed, and Pinewood’s spa is the perfect place for a rejuvenating massage or treatment.

After your final breakfast at the beach resort, you enjoy the rest of the morning at leisure before flying back to Nairobi for your onward journey.
