Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to Nairobi

Your adventure begins the moment you land in Nairobi, East Africa's vibrant gateway to safari. After meeting our representative at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you'll transfer to the elegant Nairobi Serena Hotel, where you can settle in and unwind after your journey. Spend the rest of the day enjoying the hotel's celebrated Maisha Spa, relaxing by the pool, or simply easing into the rhythm of Kenya.

Optional Experience. If you'd like to start exploring right away, join our Nairobi City Tour. Over three to four hours you'll discover the city's rich history and culture, visiting landmarks including the National Museum, Railway Museum, KICC, Parliament Buildings, and the National Archives.

Stay: Nairobi Serena Hotel
Day 2: Beneath the Shadow of Kilimanjaro

After breakfast, leave the city behind and journey south to Amboseli National Park. Known for its vast elephant herds and postcard-worthy views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is one of Africa's most iconic safari destinations. Arrive at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge in time for lunch before spending the afternoon unwinding by the pool or taking in the views from your veranda. Later, venture into the park for your first game drive, where elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, zebras, and countless bird species call this remarkable landscape home.

Stay: Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge
Day 3: Across Ancient Landscapes to Tsavo West

This morning, continue your safari into Tsavo West National Park, one of Kenya's most diverse and dramatic wilderness areas. Arrive at Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge for lunch before setting off on an afternoon game drive through landscapes shaped by volcanic activity, natural springs, and rugged escarpments. Tsavo West is home to elephants, buffalo, giraffes, antelope, and the critically endangered black rhino, while its unique scenery makes every drive feel different from the last.

Stay: Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge
Day 4: The Wonders of Tsavo

Rise early as the African bush begins to stir. Today's game drives take you deeper into Tsavo West, revealing some of the park's most iconic natural wonders. Visit the crystal-clear Mzima Springs, where hippos and crocodiles thrive beneath the water's surface, admire the dramatic Shetani Lava Flows, and take in sweeping views from Roaring Rocks. As evening approaches, toast the day with a sundowner in the heart of the park while the African sunset transforms the landscape into shades of gold and crimson.

Day 5: From the Savannah to the Indian Ocean

After breakfast, travel to Mtito Andei Station and board Kenya's modern Standard Gauge Railway for a scenic journey to Mombasa. Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to Serena Beach Resort & Spa, where the pace shifts from adventure to relaxation. Settle into your beachfront retreat and let the sound of the Indian Ocean welcome you to Kenya's coast.

Stay: Serena Beach Resort & Spa
Day 6: A Day at Your Own Pace

Today is yours to enjoy. Relax beside the pool, stroll along the white-sand beach, or simply soak in the peaceful rhythm of the coast. As part of your stay, indulge in a rejuvenating 90-minute Swahili Therapy Massage, inspired by centuries of coastal wellness traditions. If you're feeling adventurous, the Kenyan coast also offers opportunities for snorkelling, diving, deep-sea fishing, and exploring nearby marine parks.

Day 7: Discover the Spirit of the Coast

Spend another day embracing the beauty and culture of Kenya's coastline. Whether you choose to explore historic Mombasa, visit Fort Jesus, discover vibrant Swahili culture, or simply enjoy another day beside the ocean, today is about experiencing the slower rhythm that makes Kenya's coast so unforgettable.

Day 8: Until Next Time

After breakfast, it's time to bid Kenya farewell. Transfer to Moi International Airport for your onward journey, taking home memories of breathtaking wildlife encounters, dramatic landscapes, warm coastal hospitality, and the incredible diversity that makes Kenya unlike anywhere else.
