A NEW VARIATION ON THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY
After the excitement of a Kenyan safari, there is no better place to wind down than untouched Shela Beach, on the historic island of Lamu.
Kenya offers you a new variation on the ultimate holiday; sun, sand, sea and – now –safari. And there is no better place to indulge in the first three ingredients than on Lamu Island. Even better, if you make Peponi Hotel part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Kenya you’ll be staying beside a 12 km long beach of fine, virtually untrodden sand running along the side of the Indian Ocean. You’ll be able to bathe in the warm sea, take long sunset and sunrise strolls at the water’s edge, relax in supreme comfort in a swinging day bed, indulge your taste for fresh seafood, sail aboard a traditional dhow…
Not to mention visit the cool, ancient streets of Lamu Town, with its coral walls and fascinating history.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
