Kenya: From Safari Plains to Coastal Paradise

When it comes to a destination that blends wild adventure with pure relaxation, Kenya is always at the top of the list. Known as the birthplace of safari, this country offers encounters with Africa’s most iconic wildlife alongside white sandy beaches washed by the Indian Ocean. To showcase the very best of both worlds, we’ve designed a one-week journey that moves seamlessly from the drama of the savannah to the serenity of the coast.

A Timeless Safari in the Maasai Mara

After a short stop in Nairobi with an overnight at the elegant Hemingways Nairobi, you’ll take a scenic flight to the legendary Maasai Mara. From above, you’ll already feel the magic of Africa as you glide over golden plains before landing at one of the region’s most exclusive retreats: Angama Mara. Perched high on the escarpment with sweeping views of the Mara, this lodge was the filming location for the classic Out of Africa and still carries that timeless safari romance.

For three days, you’ll immerse yourself in the wild alongside expert Maasai guides who will share their ancestral knowledge of the land. Rise at dawn for game drives in search of elephants, lions, and giraffes, or—if timed perfectly—witness the Great Migration, as millions of wildebeest and zebras thunder across the plains. A sunrise hot air balloon ride offers yet another breathtaking perspective of the savannah, as you float silently above herds of wildlife and acacia-dotted landscapes.

Back at Angama, unwind with spa treatments, private dining under the stars, and sundowners by the fire as the sounds of the bush surround you.

From Savannah to the Sea

After your time in the Mara, you’ll fly to Kenya’s shimmering coastline for a few days of well-deserved rest. Your home here will be Alfajiri Villas, an exclusive collection of three private villas that feel like a luxurious seaside retreat, complete with world-class service tailored entirely to you.

Days here move at a gentler pace: stroll along palm-fringed shores, swim in turquoise waters, and indulge in ever-changing menus of freshly caught seafood. For those still craving adventure, head out snorkeling with whale sharks, explore vibrant coral reefs, or test your skills with kitesurfing and windsurfing in the warm Indian Ocean breeze.

The Perfect Ending to a Family Journey

As your trip comes to a close, you’ll return home with memories that span both worlds: the roar of lions at sunrise, soaring over the Mara in a hot air balloon, and evenings spent listening to the waves from your private villa. Kenya offers the ultimate balance of safari adventure and coastal bliss—an experience that every family will treasure for a lifetime.
