Spend 11-days exploring the stunning Masai Mara and the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar on this classic East Africa safari and beach adventure. Encounter the incredible wildlife of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve with three luxurious nights at Mara Porini Camp.
The annual wildebeest migration takes place between July and October and the wildlife drama is often at its peak, but there’s excellent game viewing all year round and the Mara is well-known for its large predator population. Then you’ll leave the savannah behind and fly to tropical Zanzibar – ‘The Spice Island’. Relax on the white beaches of Breezes Beach Club and Spa, a great base from which to go scuba diving or snorkelling in the turquiose waters of the Indian Ocean.
Masai Mara, Kenya
Touch down in Nairobi and transfer to domestic Wilson Airport for a scheduled charter flight to the famous Masai Mara National Reserve. You’ll be picked up by an open-sided vehicle and taken on a short game drive on the way to Mara Porini Camp. Set in the exclusive Ol Kinyei Conservancy in a beautiful wilderness area of the Masai Mara, this luxurious camp delivers great game viewing. Settle into your spacious en suite safari tent, freshen up, and start exploring your new surroundings.
Enjoy early morning, afternoon and early evening game drives in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy in search of the area’s predators and their prey. The general wildlife is abundant and you can also look forward to fascinating nature walks led by your Maasai guide, who’ll teach about the Maasai way of life. Experience a picnic lunch in the Masai Mara itself and return to the conservancy for sundowners at a scenic spot. Return to camp for dinner where the chef will spoil you with fresh bread, salads and mouth-watering cuisine that can be enjoyed in the communal dining tent.
Zanzibar, Tanzania
Fly back to Nairobi after breakfast and then on to the stunning island of Zanzibar where you’ll be transferred to Breezes Beach Club and Spa. Ideally situated on the south-east coast, this multi-faceted resort offers you spectacular white beaches, shady palms and an emerald-green ocean.
Fill your days with the amazing activities offered at the resort – there’s diving and snorkelling, canoeing and wind surfing to name a few – but make time as well to relax at the spa or visit the bazaar to browse for antiques, African art and carvings. The resort’s friendly staff will help you arrange tours and excursions if you wish to see more of Zanzibar. The resort has a variety of dining options which include the romantic Tides Restaurant, the vibrant Salama Dining Room, and The Sultan’s Table, which serves a range of fresh seafood dishes. Enjoy drinks at any one of the five bars located in the resort, including the Dhow Bar – perfect for those seeking a retreat from the day’s sun.
Transfer back to the airport for your outbound flight to Nairobi. Your adventure ends once you arrive in the Kenyan capital.
