Kenya Cheetah Safari Premium & Zanzibar

A journey designed for two:  a signature-style escape that moves from the cool, forest-draped heights of the Aberdares, through the desert-river drama of Buffalo Springs, across the legendary plains of the Masai Mara and finally into the soft, turquoise-fringed calm of Zanzibar. The Cheetah Safari Premium is a private-style, guided safari with a Somak expert driver-guide at your side, threading together Kenya’s rolling hills, rugged mountains, arid deserts and open savannahs into a single, coherent story. Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and a kaleidoscope of birds aren’t just features on the itinerary—they become part of the rhythm of your days. 
 
The hand-picked lodges and camps place you close to nature without compromising on comfort, whether you’re watching elephants at the water trough from The Ark Lodge, drifting to sleep to the sound of the Ewaso Ng’iro River at Surana Buffalo Springs or drifting across the Mara after a full-day game drive. When the dust of the bush begins to settle, the journey unwinds into five nights of all-inclusive luxury at Diamonds Bijoux in Zanzibar, where white sands, balcony-front rooms and a relaxed beach-front atmosphere turn the final chapter into a long, sun-drenched reward.
