Game drives first, warm Indian Ocean sand after. The best of both worlds, and you only unpack once.
Why choose between a lion and a coconut? A bush and beach safari starts with game drives on the plains and ends with your toes in warm Indian Ocean sand.
You get the thrill of the wild first, then a proper rest. No one has ever said "I wish we had skipped the beach" after a week of early mornings.
We link the best camps to the best coast, from Diani and Watamu to Lamu and Zanzibar, and book the flights so you only unpack twice.
If you only have time for one, this is the one our guests rave about long after they are home.
Bestseller · Bush And BeachFive nights of game drives in the Mara, then a short flight to Diani for three nights of warm sand and a private villa. Finish with a sunset dhow cruise and a fresh coconut, and let the office wonder where you went.
Five journeys and zero stress. Choose the one that makes your heart do a little drumroll, then tell us what to tweak. Sawa sawa, we can change anything.
Kenya Classic01Three nights in the Mara for lions and leopards, then three on Diani's white sand. The classic Kenyan pairing, done properly.
Kenya Sweep02Amboseli's elephants, the Mara's cats and Watamu's coral reefs. Big, bold and wonderfully varied, with a snorkel for the finale.
Tanzania03The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater first, then five days on Zanzibar with spice markets, dhows and a very slow breakfast.
Slow Coast04A few days in the Mara, then a flight to Lamu's car-free old town, dhow sails and the slowest sunsets in Kenya.
Private Villa05Laikipia's conservancy for rhino and night drives, then your own private villa on Diani with a pool and a chef.
