East Africa is packed with game reserves, lakes, mountains, beaches, and cultural and historical attractions. Choosing where to go and what to do is a daunting task. But here you can have two holidays rolled into one by combining a bush safari with a tropical island experience where you can snorkel.
Your journey begins in the famous Masai Mara, very close to where the final scene of the "Out of Africa" movie was filmed. The Masai Mara safari delivers many attractions, as the reserve is home to a great concentration of game all year round, including the more than two million wildebeest, zebras, and other antelopes that migrate annually. The reserve is a photographer’s and naturalist’s paradise, with an abundance of wildlife, including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lion, and cheetah. You will spend the next three days at Bateleur Camp on guided game drives and nature walks. You also have the option to interact with the Maasai people and take a hot air balloon ride.
Tucked away at the foot of the scenic Oloololo escarpment (the rim of the Great Rift Valley) in Kenya’s iconic Masai Mara National Reserve, is the classic and elegant Bateleur Camp. This romantic and private camp reflects the ambiance of Kenyan safaris of the ‘20s and ‘30s. The camp has a vintage safari elegance with intriguing antiques, hand-crafted artifacts, and keepsakes of bygone times mingle with cushy sofas and polished leather chairs. The warm glow of torches and candles welcome you home from your evening drive.
Next, you jet off for four days to the exotic island of Zanzibar for some serious relaxation, warm Indian Ocean water, and palm trees galore. Sun-kissed beaches, pristine coral reefs, cobbled streets, and a taste of the East - a Zanzibar holiday is a unique African experience.
Be among just twenty guests at the romantic Mnemba Island Lodge and experience an array of outdoor activities such as snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and massages on the beach.
Promising a little adventure and some relaxation, this tour is ideal for couples looking for the ultimate romantic setting, solo travelers, and families looking to spend some quality time together.
