This nine-day family safari covers two serious hotspots in East Africa, namely the Masai Mara in Kenya and Zanzibar in Tanzania, in two exclusive-use houses. And not only are they both wonderful, but the two are the ideal bush-and-beach combo, with the Masai Mara giving you amazing wildlife experiences and Zanzibar being all about seaside action, including scuba diving, dhow cruises and more.
On arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be met and transferred to Wilson Airport to catch your flight to Masai Mara Airstrip. You will be welcomed and briefed before being transferred to Mara House for the start of your safari.
Depending on your preference, there are a couple of options with regards to how your day is structured. One option is to break camp early and head out with a picnic breakfast on a morning game drive, returning to camp in time for lunch. Alternatively, you can eat breakfast in camp and head out with a picnic lunch on an afternoon game drive, returning in the mid afternoon.
The exclusivity of the bush house enables you to enjoy the seclusion of your own lodgings and have the flexibility and freedom to personally design your safari itineraries in the Masai Mara. With a specially adapted safari vehicle and a guide’s lifetime of knowledge at hand, the plains, rivers and hills of the Masai Mara are there to be explored.
Wake up to the sound of the African bush! Today brings another day to explore the Masai Mara along with your experienced guide, in a 4×4 safari vehicle with a picnic on board to enjoy during your game-viewing expeditions.
After breakfast, depart camp and make your way to Masai Mara Airstrip to catch your flight to Wilson Airport. Once there, you will be transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to embark on your flight to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar. On arrival, you will be met and transferred by road to Matemwe Beach House on the northeast coast of Zanzibar Island.
Wake up in paradise! After breakfast, the day is yours to do with as you choose. Here you can relax at the private pool or experience snorkelling off the boat (one trip per person included), enjoy guided reef walks, guided cultural village walks and go kayaking, or schedule as many activities outside of the resort as you wish (additional cost).
Spend the day at your leisure: relax on the beach, swim in the pool or enjoy any activity you choose. The beach house is an exclusive-use private house with butler service, so you’ll be well taken care of by professionals.
Today brings another day to enjoy Matemwe Beach House and its surroundings. The beach house is perfectly situated opposite the spectacular diving and snorkelling reefs of the Mnemba Atoll and surrounded by some of the best beaches in Zanzibar, all waiting to be explored.
After breakfast, pack your bags and depart by road transfer for Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar for your further travel arrangements.
