Date: 07-17 Nov, 2026

One journey. Two countries. Jeep safaris, cycling safaris, lake safaris, island hopping, snorkelling, Stone Town and unforgettable wildlife.

This isn't just a Kenya safari. It's East Africa in all its diversity.

Why We Created This Itinerary

Three years ago, we decided to rethink the way people travel to Kenya.
Whenever we approached local operators to plan a Kenya trip, almost every itinerary looked identical. Fly into Nairobi > head to Masai Mara > and fly back home. It didn't matter whether you were a six-year-old child or a sixty-five-year-old retiree. Everyone experienced Kenya the same way.
We understand why these itineraries exist. If you're a wildlife photographer or someone who dreams of spending twelve hours a day inside the jungle waiting for the perfect sighting, this style of travel makes perfect sense.
But it wasn't the Africa we were looking for.
So we made a decision.
If we were ever going to Kenya, we would create our own way of experiencing it.
We booked our flights, travelled across East Africa, explored places beyond the usual tourist circuit, and spent weeks piecing together an itinerary that felt young, energetic and full of life.
We had built an itinerary across two countries, Kenya and Tanzania, where Masai Mara forms only about 20 percent of the journey.
The remaining eighty percent takes you through landscapes and experiences that most traditional Kenya itineraries completely miss.

This is a brand new East African itinerary:

So here we are, all excited to host the most exciting East African journey.
This is not simply a Kenya safari.
Every few days, the landscape transforms.
From the endless grasslands to volcanic gorges.
From Mara game drives to Hell's Gate cycling safaris
From freshwater lake safari to snorkelling in coral islands.
From staying in safari lodges to stone houses of Zanzibar
Because when we're travelling halfway across the world, we'd rather come back knowing Africa than simply saying we visited Masai Mara.
From open grasslands to volcanic gorges. From freshwater lakes to coral islands.. From wildlife to history

Highlights of Our Journey

🦁 Two days game drive in the legendary Masai Mara

Experience one of the world's greatest wildlife destinations through immersive game drives across the iconic savannahs.

🚲 Cycle inside Hell's Gate National Park

Instead of watching wildlife from a jeep, cycle through one of the very few African national parks where this is possible, often alongside zebras, giraffes and gazelles. Hell's Gate is also believed to have inspired the landscapes of The Lion King.

🥾 Hike through the famous gorge

Walk into the dramatic gorge that inspired the setting of the unforgettable wildebeest stampede scene from The Lion King.

🚤 A lake safari on Lake Naivasha

After jeep safaris and cycle safaris comes something completely different. Cruise across the Great Rift Valley's beautiful freshwater lake, home to hippos and countless bird species.

🦩 Half-day safari in Lake Nakuru National Park

Look out for endangered black rhinos and the park's famous flocks of pink flamingos.

🏡 Stay at the historic Elsamere Lodge

Spend a night at the former home of Joy Adamson, the conservationist who raised Elsa the lioness, whose story inspired the classic film Born Free.

🌆 Explore Nairobi

We also set aside a day to experience Kenya's vibrant capital for shopping & to for its must-see attractions.

Then We Head to Tanzania...

Just when you think you've experienced Africa, the journey takes another turn.

🏝 Three unforgettable days in Zanzibar

Swap the savannah for turquoise waters, white-sand beaches and one of Africa's most fascinating island cultures.

🐢 Swim with giant tortoises

Spend an evening with these gentle giants in one of Zanzibar's unique wildlife experiences.

🌊 Island hopping, sandbanks and snorkelling

Explore hidden sandbanks, crystal-clear lagoons and colourful coral reefs across the Indian Ocean.

🪨 Lunch on a rock in the middle of the sea

Walk onto a beach, board a small boat, and get dropped at a giant rock rising from the ocean. Climb to the top, and you'll find one of Africa's most iconic cafés, surrounded by nothing but endless blue.

🏛 Stay inside historic Stone Town

Spend a night wandering the charming streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage town rich in Swahili, Arab and European influences. Tamil cinema fans may recognise it from Ayan starring Suriya.

So What do you think?

This itinerary wasn't created by sitting in an office and rearranging destinations on a map.

It was built on the ground, after travelling through East Africa ourselves, questioning what could be done differently, and creating the kind of journey we wished existed. That's why, even today, it remains one of the most unique ways to experience Kenya and Tanzania together.

🦁 ITINERARY

You may choose your journey based on the experience you seek — a pure safari escape across the wild plains of Kenya, or an extended island journey that continues beyond the savannah into Zanzibar.

- Safari Edition: Kenya (Day 1–7, Depart on Day 8)
- Two countries Edition: Kenya & Zanzibar (Day 1–11)

Note: The Safari Edition will be experienced together by everyone.

🇰🇪 DAY-1 (Sat, 07-Nov)

Welcome to Kenya

Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Nairobi, any time before 1:30 PM. Once everyone has arrived, we'll transfer to our hotel, freshen up, and head out to begin our East African adventure.
For many first-time visitors, Nairobi is full of surprises. Rather than the fast-paced atmosphere many expect, you'll find a modern city with wide roads, green spaces, a pleasant climate, and a much more relaxed pace than many large Asian cities.
Since you've just arrived after a long journey, we'll ease into the trip with a visit to Mamba Village, home to the largest crocodile farm in East Africa. More than just a crocodile park, it's an important conservation and education centre where you'll see crocodiles of all ages—from tiny hatchlings to enormous adults that have lived here for decades. The centre is also home to several other native reptiles.
Our next stop is one of Nairobi's best-known conservation projects—the Giraffe Centre. Did you know there are four species of giraffes, each with its own unique coat pattern? The centre is dedicated to protecting the endangered Rothschild's giraffe, and the raised feeding platform lets you observe these gentle giants up close and even hand-feed them.
We'll return to our hotel by evening and get some rest. Tomorrow, we leave the city behind and begin our journey into Kenya's vast wilderness.

✅ Inclusions:

- Airport pickup
- Mamba Village Entry
- Giraffe Centre Entry
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Nairobi

❌ Exclusions:

- Meals: All meals

ℹ️ Additional info:

Days 1 & 7 Accommodation | Taarifa Suites, Nairobi or similar

🇰🇪 DAY-2 (Sun, 08-Nov)

Into the Great Rift Valley

Today, we leave the city behind and begin our journey into Kenya's wilderness.
After breakfast, we'll check out from our hotel and switch to our custom-built safari vehicles. Designed specifically for wildlife safaris, these vehicles feature a pop-up roof, giving everyone an uninterrupted view during our game drives over the coming days.
As we leave Nairobi and head north, keep an eye on the landscape around you. It won't be long before you spot zebras or gazelles grazing beside the highway. For many first-time visitors, it's a surprising sight. By the end of the trip, however, you'll realise just how naturally wildlife coexists with everyday life in Kenya.
Do you remember learning about tectonic plates in school? Just as the collision of plates gave rise to the Himalayas, the slow separation of the African Plate created the Great Rift Valley—a geological feature stretching nearly 6,000 kilometres across East Africa. Kenya is home to one of its most dramatic sections, where volcanic peaks, escarpments, lakes, and geothermal landscapes all come together within a relatively short distance.
Our first stop is Hell's Gate National Park, one of the few parks in Kenya where you can explore by bicycle instead of a safari vehicle. Riding through the valley alongside grazing zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, gazelles, and antelopes is a completely different experience from a traditional game drive.
You'll also come across Fischer's Tower, a striking volcanic rock formation that many believe inspired the iconic Pride Rock from The Lion King.
After the cycling experience, we'll continue our drive through the Rift Valley to Nakuru, where we'll spend the night and prepare for our first safari the following day.

✅ Inclusions:

- Hell's Gate National Park entry
- Hell's Gate National Park Guide fee
- Bicycle rental
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Nakuru

❌ Exclusions:

Day-2 Accommodation - The Midland Hotel, Nakuru or similar

🇰🇪 DAY-3 (Mon, 09-Nov)

Lake Nakuru Safari & the Story of Elsa

Our first full safari begins with an early breakfast before we head into Lake Nakuru National Park. Set around one of the Rift Valley's famous alkaline lakes, the park is home to white and black rhinos, buffaloes, zebras, impalas, waterbucks, Rothschild's giraffes, and, if we're fortunate, lions and leopards. The lake itself also attracts thousands of flamingos, pelicans, and numerous other bird species throughout the year.
One of the biggest advantages of travelling in dedicated safari vehicles is the freedom they offer. One moment we're cruising on smooth highways, and the next we're navigating dirt tracks deep inside the national park, searching for wildlife. Every game drive is different, and while our guides know where animals are often seen, nature always has the final say. Every sighting is a bonus, making each safari unique.
After our morning game drive, we'll leave Lake Nakuru behind and continue towards Lake Naivasha, home to one of our favourite stays in Kenya.
We'll spend the night at Elsamere Lodge, the former home of conservationists Joy and George Adamson. If the names sound familiar, Joy Adamson was the author of Born Free, the remarkable story of Elsa, an orphaned lioness they raised before successfully reintroducing her into the wild. Their work became one of the world's most influential conservation stories and helped change how people viewed wildlife conservation.
Set on the peaceful shores of Lake Naivasha, the lodge is a wonderful place to unwind after the day's safari. Take a stroll through the gardens, enjoy the lakeside views, and soak in the history of a place that played a small but significant role in African wildlife conservation.

✅ Inclusions:

- Lake Nakuru National Park entry
- 4x4 Safari vehicle
- Meals: Breakfast & Dinner
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Naivasha

❌ Exclusions:

- Meals: Lunch

Day-3 Accommodation - Elsamere Lodge, Naivasha

🇰🇪 DAY-4 (Tue, 10-Nov)

On the Water & Into the Mara

We'll begin the day with a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, offering a completely different wildlife experience from yesterday's game drive. Out here, there are no safari vehicles or protective steel frames—just a small boat gliding quietly across the lake, bringing you much closer to nature.
The lake is home to a remarkable variety of birdlife. Keep an eye out for African fish eagles, pelicans, cormorants, and many other water birds. Some are so accustomed to boats that they may even perch nearby, giving you a closer look than you'd ever expect.
And then there are the hippos. They may spend most of their day quietly submerged, but don't let their calm appearance fool you. Hippos are among Africa's most territorial animals and are responsible for more human fatalities than many large predators. During one of our previous trips, we learnt just how quickly they can become protective when our boat ventured a little too close. It's a reminder that we're visitors in their home, and our experienced boat captain always knows the safe distance to maintain.
After the boat safari, we'll return to the lodge for breakfast before checking out and beginning our drive towards Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya's most iconic safari destination.
Tonight, we'll stay at a lodge just outside the reserve, allowing us to relax after the long drive before the real safari adventure begins.
From tomorrow onwards, we'll move to our accommodation inside the Masai Mara National Reserve. Staying within the reserve means we'll be closer to the wildlife and can make the most of our game drives over the next two days.
Get a good night's rest—because the next two days are dedicated entirely to exploring one of Africa's greatest wildlife destinations in search of the legendary Big Five.

✅ Inclusions:

- Lake Naivasha boat tour
- Meals: Breakfast & Dinner
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Masai Mara (outside reserve)

❌ Exclusions:

- Meals: Lunch

Day-4 Accommodation - AA Lodge Maasai Mara or similar

🇰🇪 DAY-5 (Wed, 11 Nov)

A Full Day in the Masai Mara

Today is all about the safari.
After an early breakfast, we'll pack our lunch and spend the entire day exploring the vast grasslands of the Masai Mara National Reserve in search of Africa's famous Big Five—the lion, leopard, African elephant, Cape buffalo, and rhinoceros.
But a safari is never just about ticking animals off a list. The Mara is also home to large populations of cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and countless other species. Every game drive is different, and no two days in the reserve are ever the same.
From our previous trips, we've found that spotting lions, elephants, giraffes, and zebras is often more common than people expect. Rhinos and leopards, however, require a little more patience—and a bit of luck. If fortune is on our side, we may even witness one of nature's most dramatic moments: a predator on the hunt. It's something no itinerary can promise, but an experience few ever forget.
Throughout the safari, we'll remain inside our vehicles except at designated safe areas identified by our guide. Around midday, we'll stop at one of these locations to enjoy our packed lunch before continuing the search for more wildlife.
As the golden light begins to spread across the savannah, we'll make our way back to our lodge inside the Masai Mara National Reserve, our home for the next two nights. Staying within the reserve lets us start our safaris early the next day, avoid the morning rush at the park gates, and spend more time where the wildlife truly belongs—the African wilderness.

✅ Inclusions:

- Maasai Mara National Reserve entry fee
- 4x4 Safari vehicle
- Meals: All meals
- Accommodation in Maasai Mara (inside reserve)

❌ Exclusions:

- NIL

Days 5 & 6 Accommodation - Sentrim Mara Lodge, Masai Mara or similar

🇰🇪 DAY-6 (Thu, 12 Nov)

Another Day in the Wild

One day in the Masai Mara is never enough. Every game drive unfolds differently, and that's the beauty of the African wilderness.
After an early breakfast, we'll once again head into the reserve with packed lunches, spending another full day tracking the incredible wildlife that calls the Masai Mara home. Perhaps today is the day we finally spot that elusive leopard resting on a tree, a family of elephants crossing the plains, or a pride of lions beginning their morning patrol.
There's no fixed route or guaranteed sightings in a safari. Our experienced guides stay in constant communication with other rangers and drivers, increasing the chances of locating recent wildlife activity while also relying on years of experience reading the landscape.
We'll stop at a safe designated area inside the reserve to enjoy our packed lunch before continuing our search across the vast savannahs. Every hour brings something new—whether it's a cheetah scanning the horizon, a herd of wildebeest stretching endlessly across the plains, or simply the peaceful rhythm of life in the African wilderness.
By sunset, we'll return to our lodge inside the reserve, ending another unforgettable day in one of the world's greatest wildlife destinations.

✅ Inclusions:

- Maasai Mara National Reserve entry fee
- 4x4 Safari vehicle
- Meals: All meals
- Accommodation in Maasai Mara (inside reserve)

❌ Exclusions:

- NIL

🇰🇪 DAY-7 (Fri, 13-Nov)

A Farewell to the Mara

This morning marks our final moments in the Masai Mara.
After breakfast, we'll check out of our lodge by 9:00 AM and visit a traditional Maasai village. The Maasai are one of East Africa's most iconic communities, known for their distinctive red shuka attire, rich traditions, and semi-nomadic way of life. During the visit, you'll gain a firsthand understanding of their culture, social structure, and daily life. You'll also have the opportunity to purchase handmade beadwork and crafts directly from the community.
For those looking to make the morning even more memorable, there's an optional hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara. Floating silently above the savannah at sunrise offers a completely different perspective of the reserve. Please note that participants opting for the balloon safari will not be able to join the Maasai village visit.
By around 12:00 PM, everyone will regroup outside the reserve, after which we'll begin our drive back to Nairobi.
By evening, we'll arrive in the city and check into our hotel, bringing our unforgettable safari adventure to a close. Tomorrow, the journey continues with the next chapter of the trip.

✅ Inclusions:

- Maasai Village Entry
- 4x4 Safari vehicle
- Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Nairobi

❌ Exclusions:

- Hot air balloon ride over Maasai Mara National Reserve (Approx. USD $450)

🇰🇪-🇹🇿 DAY-8 (Sat, 14-Nov)

From Crafts to Coast

Our final morning in Kenya is reserved for a bit of shopping before we leave the country. We'll visit the vibrant Maasai Market, one of the best places to pick up souvenirs and support local artisans. You'll find everything from handmade jewellery, wood carvings, paintings, and colourful East African fabrics to traditional curios and gifts to take home.
If time permits, we'll also enjoy a short walk through Nairobi before making our way to the airport.
This is where our group splits.
Participants joining the Safari Edition will be dropped at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) for their onward journey home.
The rest of the group will board a flight to Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean. Known for its turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, coral reefs, and centuries of maritime history, Zanzibar offers a completely different side of East Africa.
After landing, we'll transfer to Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar.

✅ Inclusions:

- Airport drop (Safari Edition participants)
- International flight ticket from Nairobi to Zanzibar (including 20 kg check-in luggage)
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Stone town

❌ Exclusions:

Days 8 & 10 Accommodation - Dhow Palace Hotel, Stone Town or similar

🇹🇿 DAY-9 (Sun, 15-Nov)

Tortoises, Turtles & Zanzibar's Coast

As you begin exploring Zanzibar today, you might notice something that feels a little familiar. That's because the island's culture is a unique blend of Swahili, Arab, and Indian influences, reflected in its food, architecture, and everyday life.
Our first stop is Prison Island, locally known as Changuu Island, about a 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town. Despite its name, the island was never used as a major prison. Instead, it later served as a quarantine station for people arriving with infectious diseases, including yellow fever.
Now, the island is best known for its population of Aldabra giant tortoises, some of which are over a century old. You'll have the opportunity to walk among these gentle giants, feed them, and learn about the conservation efforts that protect this remarkable species.
From there, we'll drive to Nungwi, at the northern tip of Zanzibar. Here we'll visit the Mnarani Marine Turtle Conservation Pond, a rehabilitation centre dedicated to rescuing and caring for injured sea turtles. Depending on the conditions, you can enter the water to swim alongside the turtles, feed them, and learn about the conservation work being carried out to protect these marine animals.
By evening, we'll head to our scenic beach resort, where you can relax by the shore and enjoy your first sunset on the island.

✅ Inclusions:

- Prison Island tour
- Nungwi Mnarani Aquarium entry
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Pwani Mchangani

❌ Exclusions:

- Meals: All meals

Day-9 Accommodation - Tiande Boutique, Pwani Mchangani or similar

🇹🇿 DAY-10 (Mon, 16-Nov)

Beneath the Waves & Through Stone Town

We're on an island surrounded by the Indian Ocean, so today is all about experiencing what lies above and below its crystal-clear waters.
We'll begin the morning with a snorkelling trip to one of Zanzibar's most beautiful reefs, near Mnemba Island. The clear turquoise waters are home to colourful coral reefs, tropical fish, and a variety of marine life. Even if you're not a swimmer, there's no need to worry—life jackets are provided, making the experience enjoyable for everyone. If we're lucky, we may even spot wild dolphins along the way.
If you're looking for a little more adventure, you can optionally choose a scuba diving experience instead. Zanzibar is one of East Africa's popular diving destinations, with healthy coral reefs and abundant marine life. Please note that participants opting for scuba diving won't be able to join the snorkelling trip, as both activities take place at the same time.
By afternoon, we'll head to the iconic The Rock Restaurant, one of Zanzibar's most photographed landmarks. Built on a coral rock just offshore, the restaurant can be reached on foot during low tide, while a short boat ride is needed when the tide is high. Even if you're not planning a full meal, the unique setting alone makes it worth the visit.
By evening, we'll return to Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A guided walking tour will take us through its maze of narrow alleys, intricately carved wooden doors, bustling bazaars, and buildings that reflect centuries of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences.
We'll end the day at the lively Forodhani Night Market, where the aroma of grilled seafood fills the air. It's the perfect place to try local favourites such as Zanzibar pizza, fresh seafood, and freshly pressed sugarcane juice before calling it a night.

✅ Inclusions:

- Mnemba snorkeling tour
- Stone town walking tour
- Meals: Breakfast
- Local transportations
- Accommodation in Stone town

❌ Exclusions:

- Scuba diving (Approx USD $130)

🇹🇿 DAY-11 (Tue, 17-Nov)

Farewell, East Africa

It's time to bid farewell to East Africa after an unforgettable journey through the wildlife of Kenya and the turquoise shores of Zanzibar.
Check out from the hotel and transfer to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) for your return flight to India, carrying home incredible memories, new friendships, and experiences that will stay with you for years to come.

✅ Inclusions:
