This luxury itinerary includes a safari in two of Kenya's most breathtaking landscapes, the highlands of Kilimanjaro and the endless plains of the Maasai Mara, followed by a relaxing stay on the Kenyan coast. You will start your journey at the incredible Ol Donyo Lodge situated on a Maasai-owned ranch between Amboseli and Tsavo National Parks and bordering Chyulu Hills National Park. Here the views of Kilimanjaro Mountain are only broken by the colossal elephants in its way. Home to some of the last big tuskers in the world you'll be blown away by the variety of activities - from cultural visits and hiking to horseback riding, game drives and mountain biking - Ol Donyo Lodge is a place to feel Africa and get out from behind the wheel.
Fly then by light aircraft to the Maasai Mara for 3 days spent on exhilarating game drives getting up close to the big cats and the other famous wildlife of the park, all whilst staying at Mara Plains Camp which blends the finest in wildlife viewing with the absolute best of safari hospitality and guiding. Finish off in style with 4 nights at the fabulous Alfariji Villas, tucked away at Diani Beach on Kenya's south coast. Here you can choose to relax on the beach or by the pool or get involved in a host of beach activities from scuba diving and snorkeling to taking a Dhow cruise.
