What We Love

Wild Safari

Itinerary

Days 1-2

Arrive in Nairobi & Discover the City

Touch down in Nairobi, we’ll transfer you to your boutique hotel for the night. After a night’s rest, you’ll be introduced to the city through a guided experience tailored to your interests. Perhaps visiting the giraffe centre and exploring bustling local markets. We’ll take you to community empowerment projects to meet local artisans and explore the under the skin of Nairobi. Along the way, you’ll begin to feel the rhythm of Nairobi—vibrant, layered, and full of stories. Dinner options range from rooftop cocktails to quiet garden restaurants showcasing Kenya’s rich culinary heritage.

Days 3–4

On Safari in the Masai Mara

This morning, you’ll fly south to the iconic Masai Mara, landing in the remote Olderkesi Conservancy. Here, tucked away from the crowds, is Instinct of the Mara—a quiet, low-impact camp nestled deep in the bush. You’ll head straight out on a game drive, guided by local experts who know every inch of this landscape. The conservancy offers incredible wildlife encounters—lion, elephant, cheetah and more—with only a handful of vehicles in sight. Back at camp, evenings are peaceful: lantern-lit dinners, fireside stories, and the distant call of hyena drifting through the trees.

Days 5-6

Exploring the Masai Mara

Spend the next few days exploring the Olderkesi Conservancy at your own pace. You can also visit the Masai Mara Main Reserve. Mornings begin early, with golden light spilling across the plains as you set off in search of wildlife. Afternoon drives offer the chance to follow herds or simply sit with elephants as they graze. You might walk with a Maasai guide to learn the tracks and rhythms of the bush, or visit a nearby village to understand life on this land. This is safari at its most personal—quiet, curious, and deeply connected to the landscape and the people who call it home.

Days 7-11

Relax on Kenya’s Coast

After your time on safari, fly down to Kenya’s southern coast and settle into the white-sand calm of Diani Beach. This stretch of coastline is a world away from the savannah—palm-lined, warm-watered, and perfect for rest or gentle adventure. Spend your days snorkelling over coral reefs, paddleboarding at sunrise, or simply reading in the shade of a baobab tree. Dinners are fresh and coastal, often eaten with bare feet in the sand. On your final day, you’ll transfer north to Mombasa for your onward journey—leaving with sandy toes and a head full of stories.
