Safari details;
Day 1:
As the plane starts to descend over the vastness of the Masai Mara you will start to spot some of the world-famous wildlife. The Mara West vehicle will meet you off the airplane and you will embark on your first game drive up to camp, where you can take in all the sights, sounds and smells of the wild. Once at Mara West you will be welcomed by our hosts and a refreshing juice. You will be guided to your room where you can make yourselves at home and perhaps enjoy a moment on the veranda before heading to the dining room for a scrumptious lunch. Relax for the early afternoon in your room or unwind with a cup of tea looking over the splendid views of untouched wilderness. Once the savannas have started to cool off and the wildlife starts to emerge, jump into the 4×4 open game drive vehicle for an afternoon adventure and later enjoy “sundowners” under a tree as you watch the sun rest beneath the savanna. Head back to camp for another indulging meal, then enjoy a nightcap by the roaring fire and share your adventures of the day before slipping off to bed.
Day 2& 3:
It’s an early start to the day as you sit on your veranda sipping your cup of tea as the sun comes up behind the savanna below before heading out for an early morning game drive. At about 10.00 you will head back to camp for a fulfilling breakfast. After breakfast you can meet up with one of our expert Maasai guides who will take you on a guided walk and teach you about the bush. Your afternoon can be spent byvisiting one of our community projects and see the work that is being done for the community around the Mara West. Or simply sit and enjoy the birdsong and animals grazing below in tranquility.
Day 4:
On your final day in the Mara you will set out on one last early game drive to capture some last moments before heading back. Enjoy a quick lunch before packing your luggage and then make your way to the airstrip for your flight down to Ukunda Airstrip, Diani where you will be driven to Tijara Beach. Once you have settled in, throw on your sarong and swimsuit, unwind and escape into the breeze of the Indian Ocean whilst enjoying the gentle soothing sounds of the waves. Have a dip into the warm sea or lounge by the pool with a cooling cocktail and take in the intimate surroundings. Dinner will be an array of the freshest seafood caught by local fisherman the same day, after dinner crawl into your enormous bed and let the sounds of the sea soothe you into a deep sleep.
Day 5, 6& 7:
Once you have relaxed and gotten into the lazy coast routine spend the next 4 days as you wish. Go for a snorkel on your doorstep, into the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and see what spectacular colorful creatures the sea has to offer. Enjoy a leisurely stroll into the mysterious caves, read your favorite book on your private deck whilst enjoying the salty breeze or indulge in a massage from Halima to top off the relaxation. Depending on your desires you could also go deep sea fishing, kite surfing or enjoy a traditional Dhow trip in Diani.
Day 8:
Today is the last day of your holiday so make sure you have taken in all the memories while having a last stroll down the sandy beach and plunging into the ocean before heading back to the Ukunda Airstrip for a flight back to Nairobi.
