A Magical Kenyan Adventure 12 days

12 days

The Many Faces of Kenya - Wildlife, Wilderness & Coast

There’s far more to Kenya than the classic safari. Spend 12 days getting under the skin of Nairobi, from its galleries and craft markets to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, before heading to the Maasai Mara for hot-air ballooning, big-cat sightings and a visit to a local Maasai village. In Laikipia, swap the game vehicle for a walking safari, a swim in the river or a night beneath the stars, while discovering the region’s pioneering rhino conservation work. Then slow the pace completely on Lamu, where historic streets, white-sand beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean provide a fitting finale.

Laikipia Plateau

Laikipia, Kenya

Continue north to the breathtaking Laikipia Plateau, where the pace slows and wildlife experiences go beyond the traditional game drive.

Lamu

Lamu, Kenya

End your adventure on the remote island of Lamu, where white-sand beaches, excellent seafood and the winding streets of historic Lamu Old Town invite a slower pace. Spend your final days exploring by boat, paddleboard or fishing trip before flying back to Nairobi for your journey home.
