Itinerary
Fly to the Maasai Mara for an afternoon game drive. Your lodge welcomes you with sweeping views, warm service, and that unmistakable Mara energy.
Overnight: Basecamp Mara / Zebra Plains / Fig Tree Camp
Spend the entire day exploring predator-rich valleys and plains. Your guide tracks prides, shy leopards, grazing herds, and migration routes (seasonal). Lunch is served picnic-style under an acacia tree.
Overnight: Same lodge
An early morning game drive offers golden light and animals at their most active.
Upgrade option: Hot air balloon + champagne breakfast — a dramatic highlight for many travellers.
Overnight: Same lodge
Take a scenic flight to Diani. A short transfer lands you at your boutique coastal retreat — expect palm trees, ocean air, and a slower pace.
Overnight: The Sands at Nomad / AfroChic / Baobab Beach Resort
Do everything or nothing. Lounge by the ocean, swim, snorkel, or get a massage.
Optional: Sunset dhow cruise, deep-sea fishing, or a Wasini Island marine excursion.
Overnight: Same hotel
A second day to enjoy Diani your way — from watersports to private dining on the beach. Families can add camel rides; couples often choose spa treatments or candlelit dinners.
