KENYA, AFRICA

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

Landing in Nairobi, a light aircraft flight will whisk you away to the private Lewa Wildlife Conservancy where you can expect some of the finest game viewing in East Africa. The region puts on a staggering display of wildlife, including the world’s largest concentration of Grévy’s zebra who coexist alongside big cats, elephants and hundreds of birds.

Breathtaking encounters with Kenya’s wildlife continue in the Masai Mara, one of Africa’s most iconic safari regions. Sleeping under canvas, you can fill your days with exciting game drives, unforgettable bush walks and sensational hot air balloon safaris. And how better to end your ultimate Kenyan holiday than on the white sands of Diani Beach, lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
