Upon arrival at Nairobi’s international airport, or at your hotel, you will be met by an Albatros Travel representative who will assist you with your flight to the Masai Mara. 

Your home for the next four nights will be the elegant Little Governors’ Camp, a peaceful eco-lodge set beside the Mara River. This unfenced camp provides the perfect setting for a four day safari that promises to deliver a superb game viewing experience.

Accommodation is in luxury permanent tents situated beside a lively water hole. From the comfort of your own veranda you can watch the wildlife come and go in what is a constantly changing scene. Each tent has an en suite bathroom and the camp restaurant serves up some of the best food to be found in Kenya.

People who have stayed at this lodge rave about the experience and some even choose to get married here! (If you'd like to do this just contact us).

After lunch and an afternoon rest you will go on your first game drive before returning to camp for dinner and sundowner cocktails.

This morning you will have the option of an early game drive before the heat of the day kicks in. You will either have a picnic in the bush or return to the camp for breakfast.

Today you will have the option of experiencing another lengthy game drive with one of the camp's expert guides, and there is also the option of taking a guided walk. Using your own two feet is considered one of the best ways to experience the diversity of the Masai Mara up close and personal. On a guided bush walk you will be accompanied by an experienced and qualified guide as well as a Maasai scout with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the endemic flora and fauna. You can also experience the thrill of tracking plains game such as giraffes, zebras or perhaps even lions!

As the evening approaches you can enjoy cocktails and dinner at camp before retiring for the night to the sounds of wild Africa.

Today after breakfast and a morning game drive you are given the option of further exploring the area around the Little Governors’ Campr.

We recommend visiting the local Maasai Manyatta where you can learn about a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries. Guests are always taken with the simplicity of the Maasai lifestyle and there is a large crafts market where you can purchase traditional beadwork and many other items.

Afterwards you can undertake an evening game drive followed but some time-honoured bush sundowners and dinner back at the camp, perhaps taking the time to befriend the camp's family of friendly resident warthogs!

Today, why not take up the chance to look at the Masai Mara from a different angle?

We offer you the optional extra of going on a hot air balloon trip (see 'Price Information' for details) – one experience that every visitor to the African plains should try. The trip begins just before sunrise with an early wakeup call and a short drive to the launch site. As your balloon gently rises from the ground and you begin to float above the trees you will experience the magic of an African sunrise as the rays from the east spread across the vast plains, suffusing them with warm colours and dappled light.

Your balloon voyage lasts for around an hour and ends with a champagne breakfast in the bush. After such an amazing start to the day you will return to camp to relax and perhaps take a spa treatment or two.

After lunch an afternoon game drive is offered, giving you the chance to seek out some of the species that have evaded you until now.

Before waving goodbye to the Masai Mara you can enjoy a last morning game drive followed by breakfast and then an early lunch before being taken to the airstrip in time for your scheduled flight to Kenya’s beautiful southern coast.

On arrival you will be met by a member of staff from Leopard Beach Resort and Spa and taken to the resort. The Leopard Beach Resort, situated on the famous Diani Beach, sprawls over 25 acres of lush tropical gardens. Each room is furnished to the highest standard and has every facility one would expect of an upmarket resort and the excellent food is as varied as it is delicious.  

You can spend the remainder of the afternoon relaxing in your new balmy surroundings before enjoying dinner at one of the resort’s chic restaurants.

This morning you will wake up in what mots people would call paradise!

Enjoy an early morning walk on the beach followed by breakfast and a swim before lunch. Whatever you do the choice and timing is up to you.

Leopard Beach Resort has numerous activities on offer. This afternoon why not try a spot of snorkelling or a game of tennis?

The resort has three restaurants serving a variety of international and African food and one of them is right on the beach so you can enjoy romantic evening meals gazing out over the Indian Ocean.  Relaxing holidays don’t get much better than this!

This morning after enjoying breakfast you have the whole day to spend as you please.

Maybe today you will decide to treat yourself to a day at the spa. The Uzuri Spa, which means ‘goodness’ in Swahili, is located in a peaceful forest setting in the resort’s grounds. It offers a unique combination of African products and European-style treatments and you can choose from a range of facials, massages, body wraps and hydrotherapy as well as many other treatments.

The spa also includes a fully equipped gym along with a sauna and steam bath and has a special couple’s room and a health bar offering everything from smoothies to light meals.

Today, you could spend the day trying out some of the water sports available at the resort. From windsurfing, kite surfing, kayaking and pedaloing to snorkelling or scuba diving – there is plenty to choose from.

Alternatively you could relax on the beach and do nothing at all except turn the pages of a book and take sips from a cold drink – the choice is yours!

Today, a suggestion would be to explore the famous Diani Beach on foot and discover all it has to offer. The beach is about 25km long and there is something to see on every section of it. The sea is shallow and warm all the way along and, just inland behind the shops and restaurants, colobus monkies hop from tree to tree. 

Walk down the beach and have lunch at one of the south coast’s many excellent restaurants where fresh seafood is always on the menu. The afternoon could be spent relaxing under a palm tree in a hammock with a cold drink and gazing out at the Indian Ocean, or you could consider taking a trip out over the reef in a glass-bottomed boat.

Wildlife lovers could also consider paying a visit to the Shimba Hills wildlife reserve - an area of tropical forest and woodland thronging with all kinds of animals from a to z (antelopes to zebras) situated about 30km away. It is also an important biodiversity hotspot providing a home for numerous rare orchids, butterflies and birds and contains some beautiful scenery, including waterfalls.

Note: an excursion to Shimba Hills is an optional extra that the resort can arrange for you at an added cost

If you fancy something a bit more adventurous tody Leopard Beach Resort offers fishing trips beyond the reef.

These trips can be booked through the hotel and you have the choice between a half or full day excursion. Big game fish such as tuna, sailfish and blue and white marlin are some of the commonly caught species and your day at sea can be rounded off with the perfect dinner made with your own freshly caught fish.

Just ask the friendly resort staff to arrange this for you.

As today is your last day why not treat yourself to a romantic dhow trip to Wasini Island and explore this beautiful car-free island famous for its ancient mosques, tombs and peaceful villages?

The people here are renowned for their happiness and visiting their island you’ll soon find out why.

Sailing back on your dhow at sunset could well represent the perfect end to your stay in Kenya

This morning you can spend your remaining time on the beach soaking up the last of the African sun.  You might not want to leave but, alas, all good things must come to an end and you will be taken to a hotel or the airport in Mombasa.

If you'd like to linger a bit longer in Kenya, perhaps staying a couple of nights in Mombasa or Nairobi, or visiting a particular lodge in one of the national parks, just contact one of our travel advisors and they will be happy to help you arrange this.
