Nairobi
Day 1
You’ll arrive in Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and be welcomed by your driver who will take you to your hotel in a private vehicle.
You’ll be staying at Hemingways Nairobi in the leafy suburb of Karen, close to the domestic airport.
The following morning, you can either head straight off to the Masai Mara, or spend the morning exploring Nairobi, or the nearby giraffe and elephant centres, before catching the afternoon flight.

Mara Triangle
Day 2 - 4
The flight from Nairobi Wilson to the Masai Mara takes between 45 – 90 minutes in light aircraft, depending on how many stops you have on the way.
You’ll land at Angama Mara’s own airstrip and be taken on the short drive to the lodge. Angama Mara has a prime location, overlooking the Mara Triangle, along the edge of the Oloololo escarpment. The views from the lodge are simply breathtaking, and this one of our favourite areas for game-viewing in all of East Africa.
Over the next three nights and four days you’ll be able to explore this incredible wilderness and its varying landscape and topography. This is Big Five country and the wildlife is spectacular all year round.
We recommend adding in a hot-air balloon safari to enjoy the wildlife from a different perspective (additional charges apply).
Furthermore, Angama offer a wide range of activities, such as walking safaris along the escarpment, ‘Out of Africa’ picnics, Maasai beading workshops, and a fantastic programme for children.

Diani beach
Day 5 - 7
This morning you’ll leave the Masai Mara behind and fly on to Ukunda airstrip for Diani beach.
Upon arrival you’ll be met and driven to Alfajiri villas in a private vehicle.
You’ll be staying on a fully-inclusive basis in a gorgeous, beachside family villa, complete with a private butler, swimming pool and stunning views.
If you can drag yourself away from your villa you’ll be able to enjoy the white sands and turquoise waters of Diani beach. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a safari. For those more active members of the family there are plenty of activities. Enjoy excellent snorkelling, SCUBA diving, deep sea fishing, kite-surfing, traditional dhow cruises, and much more.
On your final morning you’ll fly back to Nairobi for your onward flight home.
