Kenya Coast & Safari

THE EXPERIENCE
This itinerary is a study in contrast and connection. It pairs the stillness of Amboseli’s elephants beneath Kilimanjaro with the rhythmic calm of Kenya’s coastline. A journey from dust to tide, from lion track to dhow sail; immersive, elegant, and deeply restorative.

Your Itinerary

Day 1 | The Northern Frontier
Depart Nairobi, traveling north into the rugged landscapes of Samburu. This is a land of red dust, palm-fringed rivers, and dramatic rock formations. You arrive at your lodge in time for a late lunch. In the afternoon, you embark on your first game drive, the light soft, the air warm.
Day 2 | The Samburu Special Five

Spend a full day exploring Samburu’s distinctive wildlife. You’ll encounter the Special Five: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, Somali ostrich, gerenuk, and Beisa oryx—all species found only in this part of Kenya. The colors of the land, gold, rust, and acacia green, will follow you throughout the day.

Day 3 | Footprints & Culture

Step out on foot with experienced Samburu guides. Learn the stories told by animal tracks, the uses of native plants, and the history of this ancestral land. In the afternoon, you can relax by the Ewaso Ng’iro River or visit a Samburu village. The pace here is different; more human, more connected.

Day 4 | Coastal Transition

Take a bush flight to the Kenyan coast. Watch the earth give way to a brilliant blue ocean. By midday, your feet are in warm sand, the air now thick with the scent of salt and spices. Unpack, exhale, and let the pace shift. The ocean is calm, the light softer.

Day 5 | Swahili Rhythm & Ocean Bliss

The day is yours to explore Kenya’s other wild side: cultural, soulful, and intimately human. Rise early to walk the shoreline, then visit a local Swahili market or try a cooking class. In the afternoon, swim, snorkel, or simply drift in a hammock. Enjoy fresh seafood as the day ends.

Day 6 | Dhow & Dolphins
Sail the Indian Ocean aboard a traditional dhow. Dolphins may follow, playful in your wake. Stop to snorkel over technicolor reefs or pull ashore on an uninhabited island. As evening falls, sip a cocktail as the sun disappears into the sea; slow, flaming, perfect.
Day 7 | Farewell

After a final breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean, take a last walk on the beach. Your driver will collect you for your transfer to the local airport for your flight back to Nairobi, connecting you to your international departure. You leave with the rhythm of the waves still in your ears.
