13 Days Wilderness & Beachside Experience

Step off your flight in Nairobi and, within hours, find yourselves on a private wooden deck at a luxurious lodge in Amboseli National Park. Gaze in awe as elephant herds roam beneath Mount Kilimanjaro’s majestic, snow-draped peaks, their long tusks glinting against lush grasslands. As giraffes stride gracefully and zebras graze nearby, raise a glass to your shared adventure, the African breeze whispering promises of romance. Your expert guide ensures a seamless transfer from Nairobi International Airport, setting the stage for an unforgettable escape.

Ease into Africa’s rhythm, banishing jet lag as you relax in your deluxe suite, watching hippos splash in shimmering pools and lions yawn beneath acacia trees. When the moment feels right, embark on a private game drive with a knowledgeable guide, weaving through plains where zebras’ stripes mingle with buffalo herds and vibrant antelopes. The slow pace invites you to savor every sight, from a lion’s lazy stretch to a giraffe’s elegant stride, as Amboseli’s charm wraps you in a cocoon of calm and wonder.

Awaken to a postcard-perfect scene: elephants silhouetted against Kilimanjaro’s snowy crest. Sip fresh coffee on a morning game drive as predators prowl the grasslands, a leopard’s stealthy glide sparking a gasp and a shared glance with your partner. When a gazelle’s yelp pierces the air, you’ll cling to each other, hearts racing. After a sumptuous buffet lunch, unwind on your private verandah, a book in hand, stealing glances at a curious giraffe. A late-afternoon drive reveals more of Amboseli’s magic, ending with a mother elephant and her calf strolling past at sunset, a moment etched in your hearts forever.

Journey to the Maasai Mara, Africa’s iconic safari haven, where vast herds and prowling big cats ignite your sense of adventure. Arrive at a luxury lodge, its elegant suites blending old-world charm with untamed views. As wildebeest and gazelles sweep across the savanna, open your curtains to a private slice of the Mara’s magic. Your first game drive unveils lion prides and cheetahs in their element, the sheer scale of life here stirring your soul and deepening your connection.

Venture deep into the Mara’s remote corners on a full-day game drive, a gourmet picnic lunch in hand. Watch wildebeest brave crocodile-infested rivers and cheetahs survey gazelles from rocky outcrops, each moment a pulse of raw nature. As four lionesses saunter past your open top 4 x 4 Landcruiser jeep, their gaze locking with yours, you’ll feel a thrill tempered by safety. Pause at a serene lake, where hippos grunt and play, and share a glass of wine, your guide’s discretion ensuring a private moment. The Mara’s vastness envelops you, a testament to love’s boundless adventure.

Savor a final day in the Mara, tailored to your heart’s desires. Breakfast with buffalo grazing nearby, then embark on a morning private game drive in 4 x 4 jeep to chase elusive rhinos or marvel at giraffes’ grace. As the sun sets, lounge on your verandah, watching cheetahs sprint across the horizon, their dust trails glowing in the twilight. This day, filled with personalized wildlife encounters, leaves you breathless, the Mara’s untamed spirit forever woven into your love story.

Transition from savanna to sea with short flights from Maasai Mara to Nairobi, then Mombasa, followed by a quick drive to Diani Beach. Check into a private beach house, where sapphire Indian Ocean waves kiss powdery white sands and palm trees sway in the breeze. Barefoot, stroll hand-in-hand along the shore, sipping coconut cocktails as wildebeest memories linger. Drift asleep to the ocean’s lullaby, your secluded villa a sanctuary of love and tranquility.

Lose yourselves in Diani’s 15-mile stretch of pristine sand, a quieter, more intimate alternative to the Maldives or Seychelles. Lounge under palms, savor candlelit lobster dinners, and snorkel vibrant coral reefs just offshore. Your private driver offers adventures—wine bars, monkey-filled reserves, or dhow cruises to secluded bays for swims and hearty lunches. Grill fresh seafood over an open fire, time melting away as sunrises and sunsets paint the sky. Diani’s serenity mirrors the Mara’s wildness, offering a haven where love flourishes undisturbed.

As you prepare to depart, reflect on the moments that stole your breath: a rhino’s graceful stride, Diani’s untouched sands, or a lion’s roar in the Mara. Enjoy a final barefoot walk or ocean dip before your transfer to Mombasa for your flight home. Kenya’s wild and serene beauty lingers in your heart, a shared adventure that forever binds you to each other and this magical land-Mama Africa!
