Karibu Magical Kenya!

Unfold a journey where raw wilderness meets coastal serenity—where each sunrise echoes with the call of the wild and each sunset melts into the Indian Ocean. This isn’t just a retreat; it’s a rhythmic dance between adventure and deep relaxation, woven into the vibrant soul of Kenya.

From the sweeping savannahs of the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary to the tranquil white sands of Mombasa and Diani, this 7-day safari experience invites you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with nature, with spirit, and with yourself.

Witness elephants in golden light, listen to the whispers of the wild on dusk drives, and later, find your breath again by the sea. Between game drives and barefoot beach walks, your days are filled with awe and your nights under starlit skies.

Let the pulse of Africa guide you. Let the land hold you. Let this retreat be your return to wonder. 🌍✨

From ocean breeze to Savannah skies, this retreat flows through Kenya’s most soul-stirring landscapes. We begin at the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort on Bamburi Beach, Mombasa’s sun-kissed north coast. With spacious sea-facing rooms, palm-lined pools, and direct beach access, it's the perfect place to unwind, ground yourself, and sink into the rhythm of the retreat.

Midway, we journey into the wild heart of Taita Hills Safari Resort, nestled within a private wildlife sanctuary. Expect cosy lodge-style rooms with panoramic views of the plains, where elephants may wander by as you sip your morning tea. Game drives and golden sunsets set the tone for transformation. 

We end at the serene Baobab Beach Resort & Spa in Diani, with lush gardens, airy rooms, and oceanfront spaces made for barefoot freedom. Whether in a private suite or a twin-sharing room, every space is designed to help you rest, reflect, and reconnect. Each stay is carefully chosen to support your journey—comfort, nature, and soul, perfectly aligned. 🌿
