The only time to avoid Kenya is during the long rainy season in April and May. November is considered the short rainy season, however, these are less predictable and are much lighter. The best time of year to visit the Maasai Mara is during the Great Wildebeest Migration which tends to pass through the Mara between mid July to late October.
Itinerary
Fly to Nairobi
Nairobi, Kenya
Touching down in Nairobi, you’ll be met by your driver who will take you straight to Hemingways Nairobi, a boutique hotel oozing with elegance. Rest and catch up on some sleep before your safari adventure begins in the morning.
Accommodation: Hemingways Nairobi ( 1 night )
Maasai Mara National Reserve
After enjoying a hearty breakfast in the Brasserie, you’ll be raring to go this morning as your driver whisks you to Nairobi Wilson Airport to board your 12-seater light aircraft flight to the Masai Mara. Feel your excitement build as you fly low over the sweeping Mara plains, dotted with wildlife and acacia trees. Arriving in the heart of the wilderness, your guide will meet you off the plane and game drive you just 10 minutes away to Ol Seki Camp, your safari home for the next four nights. Settle into your luxury tent, which exudes elegance and style, taking a moment to enjoy an ice-cold drink on your private veranda, listening the sounds of coucal birds as you gaze out over this vast wild area.
Spend your days immersed in the wild whilst experiencing Ol Seki’s incredible service. Let your excitement wander as you venture out on a game drive. Encounter a pride of lions and admire the cubs playing and tumbling in the grass, before being driven to a scenic spot to relish on a hearty breakfast out in the bush, cooked up over a stove under the shade of an acacia tree. Feel the thrill of being out in the wild at night; as darkness unfolds, your guide will turn the spotlight on and scan the savannah for any elusive wildlife that may appear. Awaken your senses as you embark on the ultimate nature walk and wander what wildlife as you may encounter, as you are led by an expert walking guide. Discover a Maasai community and be enthralled by the way they live in harmony with the nature. If you want to splash out on something truly spectacular, let us book you a hot air balloon safari and watch in awe as you float along the mystical Mara River, with an eyeline view of the birds of prey that perch on the treetops. Once you are back on solid ground, celebrate your early morning escapade with a champagne breakfast on the savannah.
Watamu, Lamu and the coast, Kenya
After one last venture soaking up the Masai Mara, you’ll catch a flight back to Nairobi Wilson before flying to Malindi, on Kenya’s radiant coastline. Your retreat for the next 7 nights is Hemingways, situated on Watamu Beach. Take a dip in the glittering pool that runs through the centre of the hotel and leads to the beach, where you can enjoy thrilling water sports. Try your hand at windsurfing on the azure water or feel the serenity of the gentle waves as you kayak along the coastline. Or simply sit back and enjoy the talcum-soft sand of Watamu Beach. For something truly special, let us arrange for you to go on a sunset dhow cruise. You’ll sail peacefully through Mida Creek, a UNESCO biosphere reserve lined with mangroves and beaches, and relish on delicious cocktails and mouth-watering canapes whilst observing the vibrant colours of east Africa’s birds, in the glow of the setting sun.
Accommodation: Hemingways Watamu ( 7 nights )
