100% customisable for you
Head to the airport in London for your direct eight-and-a-half-hour flight to Nairobi in Kenya. After flying through the day (there are also overnight flights available) you will land in the Kenyan capital in the evening, where you will be met by one of our team and privately transferred 30 minutes to your hotel in Nairobi.
It's an early start today as you wake up to make the journey to Lewa Conservancy in the Laikipia region. You'll be driven to Wilson Domestic Airport where you can catch a short flight to Nanyuki. Take in the views as you fly - especially as you pass Mount Kenya on your right - and a guide will then be waiting on arrival to transfer you to your lodge. The drive from the airport will act as your introduction to Kenya and, as you enter Lewa Conservancy, your first game drive, offering the opportunity to see some of Lewa's 65,000 acres and the wildlife that lives here. At the lodge, settle in, enjoy lunch and then relax by pool until your afternoon game drive.
On the drive look out for rhinos (both black and white) and Grevy's zebras in particular, as Lewa Conservancy is known for its successful breeding and protection programmes for these highly endangered species. As the sun starts to set, enjoy your first sundowners in the bush before returning to camp for your evening meal and drinks around the campfire.
After a final game drive or bush walk this morning it's time to leave the Lewa Conservancy and continue your trip in the Masai Mara, Kenya's most famous safari region. There will be a short flight to take you to the Mara where the game experience begins as soon as you touch down. You will be greeted by your new guide and enjoy a game drive to your camp. Rather than staying in the Mara itself you will be in one of the neighbouring private conservancies, where the game is just as plentiful but the safari experience is far more exclusive and there are more activities to enjoy.
Once you've settled into your new camp, go out on the afternoon game drive which will hopefully provide sightings of some of the park's Big Five (lions, leopards, buffaloes, hippos and elephants) residents as well as cheetahs, wildebeests, giraffes, hyenas and more - after all, there's a reason this is one of the world's most legendary safari destinations.
Enjoy your final morning views over the Mara today as you leave the Great Rift Valley and the wildlife behind and make your way to the beach. Your guide will transfer you to the nearest airstrip and then you'll fly directly to Ukunda Airport. On landing here you'll be met and privately transferred to your hotel on the beach, which is about 30 minutes away.
After a morning of travelling and an active few days, spend this afternoon settling into the chilled out Kenyan coast lifestyle.
