Guests arrive to Nairobi and get settled into their accommodations. After a little time to relax, guests prepare to gather for a welcome dinner. This will be a chance for everyone to mingle, reconnect and set the tone for a joyful travel week. 

Ease into your East African adventure with a day to rest, reset, and explore at your own pace in vibrant Nairobi. Unwind at your hotel, enjoy local cuisine, or venture out to discover the city’s unique blend of modern energy and rich cultural heritage.

We'll take a visit to the Maasai Market in Nairobi, a vibrant cultural experience bursting with color, creativity, and authentic craftsmanship. Support local artisans and get a taste of Kenya’s rich heritage. After shopping, explore Nairobi’s local food market like a local as you prepare for your traditional meal. Experience a hands-on Kenyan cooking class culminating with a delicious traditional meal. 

We'll take a full day safari to Kenya’s most iconic wildlife reserve — the Maasai Mara. It starts with a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley with views of escarpments, sunrise-lit hills, and Maasai villages along the way. During the game drive, we'll explore the vast, wildlife-rich plains of the reserve spotting the animals of the kingdom.

Post game-drive, step into the heart of Kenyan culture with a visit to a Maasai village, where tradition, community, and heritage come to life. This is one of Kenya’s most iconic tribes, known for their vibrant dress, warrior spirit, and deep-rooted customs.

We say goodbye to Kenya and head to Tanzania. After getting settled into the new country, take a cruise on a traditional wooden boat and sail along the Indian Ocean during sunset. Enjoy the local music, local drinks and peaceful moments of island life. 

Spend the day soaking up the sun along the breathtaking shores of Zanzibar, where turquoise waters and powder-soft sands create the perfect island escape filled with beauty, balance, and unforgettable coastal charm.

Swim and interact with majestic giant tortoises, a unique and unforgettable experience. You’ll have the chance to feed, pet, and even swim near these gentle giants in the clear turquoise waters surrounding the island. The visit also offers stunning views, snorkeling opportunities, and a glimpse into the island’s rich history. 

Enjoy a full day to explore Zanzibar at your own pace and discover the island’s rich culture, history, and natural beauty. You may choose to wander through the winding alleys of historic Stone Town, known for its vibrant markets, carved wooden doors, and cultural landmarks.

Treat yourself to a day of pure bliss with a relaxation and spa experience, where the soothing sounds of the ocean and gentle island breeze set the perfect tone for unwinding. Indulge in luxurious massages, rejuvenating facials, and traditional treatments. End the 10-day excursion feeling refreshed, recharged, and completely at peace.
