Your 8-Day Journey
From Nairobi arrival to your final morning in Stone Town — every day crafted for maximum wildlife encounters and seamless beach relaxation.
Arrival & First Game Drive
Board a premier domestic flight from Nairobi into the rolling Maasai Mara savannah. Settle into your riverfront luxury tented camp, then head out for an afternoon cat-tracking drive as the light turns gold over the plains.
Full Day Big Five Safari
A complete day tracking lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino across the reserve's open plains, with your expert guide reading every track and call. End the day with a private sundowner set on a quiet hilltop.
Flight to Island Paradise
Transfer to the local airstrip for a scenic bush-to-beach flight via Nairobi to Zanzibar. The contrast from red earth to turquoise water is breathtaking. Check into your ocean-front villa as the trade winds carry the scent of cloves and salt.
White Sand Beach Day
Savour a blissful, unstructured day on powder-white sands. The resort's wellness sanctuary overlooking the tides is available for separately booked treatments. The pace has changed completely — and that is exactly the point.
Indian Ocean Marine Safari
Board a traditional wooden dhow for a private marine safari. Snorkel vibrant coral gardens at the Mnemba Atoll reef, watching for spinner dolphins and sea turtles in the warm, crystal-clear waters.
Romantic Sunset Dhow Cruise
A relaxed villa day, then in the late afternoon a private sunset cruise departs with fine local appetisers and premium chilled champagne. The horizon turns rose gold as traditional dhows drift past in silhouette.
Spice Farm Walk & Beach Dinner
A private spice farm walk through organic cloves, vanilla, and nutmeg. Conclude your evening with a romantic candle-lit dinner right on the beach sands, under a sky full of stars, as the tide laps gently nearby.
Stone Town & Farewell
Stroll the winding coral alleyways of Stone Town — UNESCO-listed and alive with history. Pick up local souvenirs before your international flight home from Zanzibar's airport.
Handpicked Luxury Stays
Premium en-suite tented camps and lodges positioned along the migration route.
Mara Riverfront Camp
Exquisite canvas luxury set on the Mara River with spectacular wildlife corridors and private decks overlooking the plains.

What Our Guests Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
We map an assisted transfer. Our team handles your luggage at the bush airstrips and coordinates everything straight to Zanzibar's domestic runway. You simply enjoy the view from your window seat.
We recommend neutral-coloured safari layers (khakis, olives, tans) for game drives, alongside light breathable linens and swimwear for Zanzibar. A light layer for cool Mara mornings is also advisable.
Applicable national park fees and Zanzibar resort hospitality taxes depend on your itinerary and quotation — your specialist will confirm exactly which authority charges apply to your trip.
Absolutely. We offer tailored romantic integrations including surprise private beach dinners, villa flower arrangements, in-room champagne on arrival, and custom sunset marine safaris — all on request.
River crossings in the Maasai Mara peak between July and October. We recommend booking 6–9 months in advance for peak season dates, particularly for the luxury and ultra-luxury tiers where camp capacity is limited.
