The Journey

A Honeymoon from Conservation to Coast

This is the richest of safaris — a journey that adds one of Africa’s great conservation stories before the classic Mara-and-beach finale. After an easy arrival night in Nairobi, you fly to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the shadow of Mount Kenya, home to the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa, and a sanctuary of rescued chimpanzees. Here you track lion on foot, drive by night, and come face to face with rhino conservation.

Then it is on to the Maasai Mara for three nights of big cats at Sanctuary Olonana on the Mara River, before a direct flight to the coast. Five slow days at Alfajiri in Diani close the journey — your own villa, your own pool, a private chef and the Indian Ocean at your feet. Every transfer is by air; every detail is arranged in advance.

Fly Nairobi → Ol Pejeta

Into Rhino Country

Tambarare, Ol Pejeta Afternoon drive

Day 3

The Last Rhinos & the Chimps

Northern white rhinos Chimpanzee sanctuary

A deeply moving morning meeting Najin and Fatu, the last two northern white rhinos on Earth, followed by a visit to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary. An afternoon drive among black rhino and elephant closes the day.

Day 4

Tracking Lions, Driving by Night

Lion tracking Night drive

Join conservancy researchers to radio-track lion on foot — a rare, hands-on conservation experience. After dark, a night game drive reveals Ol Pejeta’s elusive nocturnal wildlife, before a final dinner under Mount Kenya.

Day 5

Fly Ol Pejeta → Maasai Mara

West to the Mara

Sanctuary Olonana Afternoon drive

This morning you fly southwest to the Maasai Mara, landing by early afternoon at Olonana on the Mara River. After lunch, your first Mara game drive, ending with sundowners in the bush and hippos grunting below your suite.

Day 6

Big Cats & Maasai Culture

Day 7

The Mara at Dawn

Day 8

Fly Maasai Mara → Diani

From Plains to Ocean

Alfajiri, Diani Arrival & unwind

After a last sunrise drive, you fly directly from the Mara to the coast — savanna giving way to turquoise sea. Arrive at Alfajiri by afternoon, where your villa, pool and butler await. A welcome massage and a dinner by your chef as the sun sets over the ocean.

Days 9 – 11

Barefoot Days on Diani

Snorkelling Daily massage Golf

Three days to do exactly as little, or as much, as you please. Sail out to snorkel the coral reef, enjoy your daily in-villa massages, play a round of golf, visit the Marine Education Centre, or simply let your chef and butler spoil you poolside. Every sunset ends in a private sundowner.

Day 12

One Last, Slow Day

Farewell sundowner Private dinner

A final full day on the coast — a late breakfast, a long swim, a lazy lunch and a last snorkel or spa treatment. As evening falls, a farewell sundowner and a special private dinner on the beach to mark the close of your honeymoon.

Day 13

Fly Diani → Nairobi

Departure

Onward international flight

A relaxed final morning by the sea before your flight from Diani back to Nairobi, timed to connect with your international departure — sand on your feet, rhinos and big cats in your memory.

A private candlelit moment for two

The Intimate Touches

Daily Indulgence

In-camp treatments on safari and a massage for each of you every single day of your villa stay in Diani.

Exclusively Yours

A glass-walled suite above the Mara River and an entire villa with its own pool and chef — complete privacy, every night.

An optional dawn balloon over the Mara, then a champagne breakfast in the long grass as the plains wake around you.

From Mount Kenya sundowners to the Indian Ocean horizon — the day always ends with a drink in hand, side by side.
