Day 4

Maasai Mara

Wake up to splendid views across the Mara plains and a hearty breakfast in the Isokon restaurant. The Maasai Mara is home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the world and today you’ll begin to discover it. The region is deservedly famous for its big cats but is also a fantastic place to experience other wildlife including elephants, giraffe, zebra, antelope, impala, hyenas and warthogs.

Back at camp, The Ozone Rangers Club provides plenty of activities for children and the opportunity for their own exploration into the wild. Overnight at Sarova Mara Game Camp.

Day 5

Maasai Mara

During your stay there’s the opportunity to take a thrilling hot-air balloon safari to gain a whole new perspective of the Maasai Mara. Wake early and watch as the balloon is prepared, then take flight and drift upwards as the sun rises and wildlife roam below. This is our most popular optional experience in Kenya. The rest of the day is spent wildlife spotting on further game drives. Return to camp for a dip in the swimming pool or to unwind at the Tulia wellness tent. Overnight at Sarova Mara Game Camp.

Days 6 to 10

Watamu

With your safari completed it’s time to hit the beach. After breakfast you’ll fly via Nairobi to Malindi on Kenya’s coast to spend the next five nights on the edge of the Indian Ocean. The town of Malindi is well worth a visit to explore the crumbling Gedi Ruins. Dating back to the early 13th century, this once-grand Swahili town is UNESCO-listed. With over 600 species of fish flitting among corals, the Watamu Marine National Park is a veritable paradise for diving and snorkelling.
