Kenya: Cheetah Safari Premium & Zanzibar Beach

Set out on a 12-night journey that begins in the cool Aberdares, flows through the desert rivers of Buffalo Springs, sweeps across the Masai Mara and ends on the turquoise shores of Zanzibar. The Cheetah Safari Premium combines the excitement of Kenya’s wilderness with the calm of island life. With a Somak expert driver-guide, you’ll travel across rolling hills, mountains, deserts and open savannah, spotting lions, elephants and colourful birdlife along the way. 

Your stays are handpicked for character and comfort, placing you close to nature even beyond the game drives. Expect to encounter elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and countless bird species as part of the rhythm of daily life. You will enjoy one night in Nairobi after your safari before you fly to Zanzibar with a visit to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s Nursery and lunch at Karen Blixen Coffee Garden. The adventure then eases into five nights of all-inclusive luxury at Diamonds Bijoux in Zanzibar, where white sands, balcony views and sun-soaked ease bring the journey to a perfect close.

Why You’ll Love This Trip! 
Because it takes you somewhere completely different and then, just when you think it cannot get any better, it changes entirely. You will wake to elephants at a forest waterhole, track rhino through a private sanctuary, and watch the Mara open up around you on a morning game drive. And then, five nights in Zanzibar where the only decision is which restaurant to choose for dinner. That shift from red dust and open skies to warm Indian Ocean water and white sand is the thing our travellers talk about most when they get home.
