Overview

This 14-day Kenya and Seychelles itinerary is designed for travellers who want the ultimate contrast, raw wilderness followed by refined island relaxation. It seamlessly blends one of the world’s greatest safari destinations with one of its most beautiful beach nations, creating a once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list experience.

The journey begins in Kenya, the birthplace of classic African safaris. Starting in Nairobi, you are gently introduced to wildlife conservation through encounters with rescued elephants and endangered giraffes.

From here, the adventure deepens as you fly into the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve. Vast open plains, dramatic skies, and an incredible concentration of wildlife make this region unmatched for big-cat sightings.

Morning and evening game drives reveal lions, leopards, cheetahs, and vast herds of plains game, while an optional hot air balloon safari offers a breathtaking aerial perspective of the savannah.

From the Mara, the landscape shifts as you travel to Amboseli National Park, famed for its enormous elephant herds and cinematic views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Game drives here are slower and more intimate, focusing on elephants, wetlands, and birdlife framed against Africa’s highest peak.

After eight unforgettable days in the wild, the journey transitions from safari dust to ocean breeze as you fly directly to the Seychelles. Crystal-clear waters, palm-fringed beaches, and island tranquility await on Praslin.

The pace slows as you explore the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai and relax on world-renowned beaches like Anse Lazio.

A day trip to La Digue adds a timeless island experience, where bicycles replace cars and granite boulders sculpt the shoreline.

The final days are reserved for snorkeling, marine parks, and pure relaxation before returning home refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to nature, both wild and serene.
