ITINERARY IN DETAIL

kenya itinerary involves delights for sundowners

Step away from the safari vehicle to discover the sights, smells and sounds of Borana Conservancy on an e-bike ride, before returning to the lodge for breakfast and a late morning of leisure. Enjoy lunch at the lodge before departing on a guided bush walk enroute to the famous site that inspired the Lion King – Pride Rock – and take in panoramic views of Borana Conservancy during a traditional ‘sundowner’.

Borana bikes

After a leisurely late-morning and afternoon at the lodge, set off to discover Naretoi Conservancy – away from the safari vehicle – on a mountain bike. Bikes give guests the opportunity to travel long distances at their own pace surrounded by nature, while hills and valleys provide the perfect terrain for adrenalin-fuelled adventures.

Masai school children

The Borana Education Support Programme promotes education and literacy in local communities and inspires young Kenyan minds to see the value of conservation and the environment. Visiting one of these schools gives beautiful insight into the lives of local children. While visiting a traditional village, a Maasai elder will give a tour and describe the history of the Maasai tribe, before members of the community demonstrate customary ways of life, traditions and dance.

hot-air balloon kenya itinerary

Rise in the early morning for a once in a lifetime experience floating above the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon. Watching the wildlife wake while the sun rises over the plains is the ultimate safari experience, the landscape below a never-ending mixture of riverine forests, sprawling savannahs, towering escarpments and rugged rivers.

Dish you can taste on a family safari in Kenya

Nestled on the eastern bank of the Ngare Ndare River at Borana Conservancy, Waitabit Farm is the largest Permaculture project in East Africa. Waitabit produces most of the fresh produce used at Borana Lodge as well as providing the anti-poaching team with fresh vegetables. Guests come away from a visit to the farm not only with a wealth of knowledge of its innovative systems but also a real appreciation of localised food production.

Spend three glorious days on one of Kenya’s most perfect beaches, exploring the spectacular marine life, snorkelling or scuba diving in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. For the adventurous, take to the waters on a kite surf, kayak or stand-up paddleboard. If you’re seeking quieter times just kick back and soak up the Kenyan sun on the white sand beaches or enjoy a spa treatment amongst the tropical gardens.

Nothing but the best. On this suggested Kenya itinerary these are our handpicked, tried-and-tested choices.

Testimonials

Quote

Both Ekorian's Mugie Camp and Cottars surpassed our expectations, and in every area of the holiday – the tents, the food, the staff, the locations, the wildlife and the finest guides and spotters you can possibly hope for – we have had the most amazing family holiday ever. Off to the coast now for some R&R.

It is now a month since we left London for our African adventure and we are safely back in our respective boxes. It was the perfect safari! Thank you and your team very much indeed for your excellent organisation and implementation. Every one of our four locations was wonderful and proved to be the ideal combination. All your travel arrangements and support went like clockwork and the destinations – with good friends at every stop – could not have been more comfortable or beautiful. I hope that you will tell your colleagues and correspondents how delighted we were with your service.

cazenove+loyd organised the most wonderful holiday in Kenya for our family – on safari and then on the coast. The team worked hard to understand what we were all hoping for from an African holiday and put together the most amazing programme with activities such as riding, walking safari and fantastic game drives as well as giving us time to have a more relaxing time on the beach. The customer service at cazenove+loyd was superb: we were in touch with the individual who was arranging our trip a couple of times over the Christmas and New Year period and had very quick and helpful responses to all our queries. We were looked after beautifully in Kenya by all the hotel and lodge representatives and returned feeling we had enjoyed the most amazing experience together.

Our holiday was a huge success... It was very well organised and we stayed at two great camps. What I like about your organisation is the attention to detail and pragmatic advice, as evident in Kenya as it was in Chile and Patagonia last year. For example, by spending a bit of extra money on a private transfer from Lamu to Lewa, we avoided two commercial flights and a long wait in Nairobi, which created an extra day's holiday and made us feel like VIPs. You tuned in quickly to the sort of places we might like to stay in and sourced some hidden gems. At Cottars, we even received a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite, which thrilled me if not my wife!

We recently returned from the most extraordinary trip to Kenya, and we cannot thank Melissa and her team enough for crafting such an exceptional experience. Melissa tailored the entire journey to our preferences, and it truly checked every box we had hoped for – from exploring the vibrant city to witnessing Kenya’s incredible wildlife and even relaxing on stunning beaches. Every attraction and accommodation she selected exceeded our expectations, making this trip a dream come true.

From the moment we touched down at Nairobi International Airport, everything was perfect. The immigration process was seamless, and we were warmly greeted by the local staff, who were incredibly helpful and friendly. Their attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring we were comfortable and well-informed throughout.

One of the most incredible aspects of the trip was how effortless it was for us. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing – no planning, no stress. We were able to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the experience, trusting Melissa and her team completely. It’s rare to find such peace of mind on a holiday.

The transportation was smooth and luxurious at every stage. From city to city, we travelled comfortably and the quality of our vehicles was noticeably superior to others. We truly felt well cared for.

We didn’t want this trip to end and are already looking forward to our next adventure. Our perception of hiring a travel agency has been transformed. Thank you, Melissa, and the entire team at cazenove+loyd, for giving us the best travel experience we’ve ever had!
