KENYA HOLIDAYS AND SAFARIS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

Indulge in a week-long escape to Manda Bay in Kenya’s idyllic Lamu Archipelago, a secluded island hideaway where soft white sands merge into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. After spending one night in Nairobi, you will be transported to the small, privately-owned Manda Bay on the north-western tip of Manda Island. Enjoy six nights in a breezy palm-thatched cottage overlooking an empty beach and pristine reef, where days can be as active or as laidback as you like. Unwind by the landscaped pool or choose from an enticing menu of snorkelling, kite surfing and deep sea fishing.

Day 2-7

MANDA ISLAND, LAMU ARCHIPELAGO

Now it’s time to see another side of Kenya. Returning to Wilson Airport, a light aircraft flight and 30-minute boat transfer brings you to Manda Bay, a secluded beach hideaway set on an idyllic island in the Lamu Archipelago.

The sea surrounding the lodge is safe, calm and warm, so you can fill your days with various water sports such as scuba diving and snorkelling on spectacular coral reefs, kayaking in crystal clear waters and deep sea fishing. The island’s birdwatching opportunities are fantastic, whilst early evening game drives in the bush behind the lodge offers encounters with buffalo, dik-dik and bushbuck.

Otherwise, you can soak up some sun on the pristine beach or by the beautiful landscaped swimming pool. The property also boasts an inviting lounge where you can relax and drink in stunning views across the bay.

Stay: Six nights at Manda Bay – full board

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
