Kenya: Luxury Flying Safari & Bawe Island Retreat

This luxury flying safari and island escape will take you from the elephant corridors of Laikipia to the predator-rich plains of the Masai Mara and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Perfect if you want your safari to feel like an adventure and your beach stay to feel like a proper escape. 

Begin in Loisaba Conservancy. Experience four nights split between a tented camp and the extraordinary Star Beds experience, in a landscape that feels a world away from the familiar safari circuit. From there, two nights at Elewana Sand River place you on the edge of the Masai Mara during one of its most exciting wildlife months, before a night in Nairobi bridges the journey south to Zanzibar.   

Following your safari, you have five nights on Bawe Island, a private island in Zanzibar with the Indian Ocean on every horizon.

Why You’ll Love This Trip! 
There is something quietly special about a trip that takes you from sleeping under a sky full of stars above a Laikipia waterhole to lying by your own pool on a private island in the Indian Ocean. Loisaba stays with you long after you leave, whether it is the sight of elephant herds crossing ancient routes or the particular silence of a night spent entirely outdoors. The Mara reminds you why Kenya earned its reputation, with predators and plains that never quite disappoint. And then Bawe Island does what only a private island can, with your own butler, your own pool and the warm waters of Zanzibar on every side, slowing everything down until the days feel longer and the world feels smaller. This is the kind of trip you will find yourself describing for years.
