Group trips with friends or extended family are often the most enjoyable trips our clients ever do! This adventure to the Maasai Mara and the Kenyan coast is a favorite due to its excellent value and guarantee of first-class game viewing.

The adventure begins in Nairobi, at Crowne Plaza Nairobi. This deluxe hotel is situated a short distance from the terminals at the city’s international airport, so it’s very convenient. On Day 2, you’ll fly out to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, to spend a couple of nights at Governors’ Camp. This is one of the reserve’s most established properties, offering comfortable accommodation and superb service. Next up is Kicheche Bush Camp, in the Mara’s Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a simple yet luxurious base from which to explore the wildlife-rich region. Finally, you’ll head to the beach, to Diani’s WaterLovers, a lovely resort with a remote location.

Crowne Plaza is an excellent option for stopovers, with communal facilities including a spa and a swimming pool. At Governors’ Camp, the focus is vehicle safaris – and if you visit the Maasai Mara during the months from July to October you can look out for the huge herds of the Great Migration! The wildlife viewing continues once you’ve arrived at Kicheche, via expertly guided game drives and walks. Both safari camps offer cultural experiences too. And WaterLovers has its very own beach house, with staff on hand to arrange an exciting variety of watersports for you.

Days 2–3 Maasai Mara National Reserve

On Day 2, you’ll transfer privately to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Then you’ll fly out to Maasai Mara Musiara Airstrip (1 hr), before transferring to Governors’ Camp. This property is situated in the centre of the Maasai Mara, along the banks of the famous River Mara. It boasts an immense marquee for lounging and dining, in addition to a bar tent and 1.6 hectares of grounds including a lot of woodland. Guest accommodation consists of 37 safari tents, each featuring a double bed or twin beds, en-suite shower room, and private veranda. Activities focus on wildlife viewing, with Governors’ offering twice-daily game drives and hot air balloon rides (the latter at extra cost). You can also visit a Maasai homestead, Mara Rianda, to learn about the lives of local people. And if you’re here during July–October, you might spot the huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles that form the Great Migration, pushing up into Kenya from Tanzania in their search for food. It isn’t uncommon for guests to view river crossings from camp, due to Governors’’ riverside location!

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation, including three meals per person per night booked, purified water and welcome drink, two extended excursions daily into the MMNR and surrounding areas such as Mara Rianda, transfers between the camp and Musiara Airstrip, and a laundry service.

Days 4–6 Greater Mara Conservancies

Following your safari in the MMNR, you’ll have a shared transfer to Kicheche Bush Camp, in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. This smashing little camp provides a first-rate traditional safari. Its mess tent has a classic feel, and guests often eat al fresco, in the glow of the welcoming campfire. There are just six guest tents, also classic in style. All offer comfortable wood-framed bed, separate seating area, and en-suite washroom complete with bucket shower! From this authentic base, you’ll enjoy expertly guided game drives, game walks, and, as at Governors’ Camp, a hot air balloon ride if you wish (at extra cost). Cultural experiences are available too – for example, you could visit the local Maa Trust, to meet local women and observe their beautiful beadwork.

Board basis and activities:
Game-package basis, including all food, drinks, and shared scheduled safari activities. Days are designed by the guides when you arrive in the camp, with standard game drives and guided walks included in the price.

Days 7–10 Diani Beach

Now it’s time for your beach break! You’ll have a shared transfer from Kicheche Bush Camp to the Maasai Mara’s Ol Kiombo Airstrip, flying from here to Ukunda Airport (2 hrs 25 minutes) for Diani Beach. WaterLovers Beach Resort is situated right on the coast, overlooking a blue lagoon. Made out of local timber, stone, and thatch, the property merges seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Communal areas include Tides restaurant, which serves up delicious dishes throughout the day. There’s also a charming turtle-shaped infinity pool! You’ll stay in a spacious suite, a category that comes with a host of mod cons and breathtaking ocean vistas from a private terrace. Numerous watersports are available from WaterLovers’ own beach house, and of course you can take as much time as you like to relax on the scenic beach nearby.

Board basis and activities:
The accommodation is booked on a full-board basis, including Wi-Fi. Activities are arranged once you’ve arrived at the resort.

On the last day of your vacation, you’ll return to Ukunda Airport and fly back to Wilson Airport (1 hr 50 mins), before transferring privately to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in time for your flight/s home.
