Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
The Kenyan Coast,Laikipia
100% customisable for you
You will land in Nairobi early this morning and transfer for your short private charter flight up to the lush lands of Laikipa. Your safari adventure begins before wheels-down, with the chance to spot giraffes, elephants and zebras from the plane. You will land directly in the Borana Conservancy and be welcomed into the home of the Dyer family, fourth generation Kenyans and some of the leading conservationists in Kenya. With only eight cottages on site, you can quickly sink into safari life as part of the Borana family. Recover from the flight with a snooze by the pool or indulge in a complimentary massage. If you have time (and energy!), you may be able to join the late afternoon 4x4 safari to start your on-the-ground wildlife spotting with beautiful Mount Kenya in the background.
Get to know your fellow guests over dinner before heading to bed for an early night - you've got a busy day ahead of you tomorrow.
It's time to wave goodbye to the team at Borana and board your private charter flight to Lamu airport. On arrival, you are taken to a small harbour and transferred by boat across to Manda Bay where you'll check in to your palm-thatched cottage. Home to Fuzz and Bimbi Dyer, and Caragh and Andy Roberts, you instantly feel at home. With Fuzz being the Coastal Director of the Northern Rangeland Trust, Manda Bay echoes the ethos of Borana for you to continue your eco-conscious trip.
Kick off your shoes and settle into the relaxed way of life here in on the east coast.
If you can tear yourself away from your hammock, the fascinating town of Lamu is only a 30-minute dhow (a traditional African boat) ride away. One of the local Manda Bay team will introduce you to this UNECO World Heritage site - often called the oldest living town in East Africa - to uncover the hidden treasures of the town. Enjoy a drink on the roof terrace of the colonial institution, Peponi, and watch local life bustling around you, with boatmen fixing their dhow on the shore below and fisherman busying with their catch of the day.
Return to Manda Bay for the afternoon at leisure.
