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

Day 8

FLY HOME

Today you will be transferred back to Nairobi where you will enjoy a restaurant meal before heading to the airport.

Testimonial 4
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough
Testimonal 15
“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.
