Saruni Mara Camp

Masai Mara

Days 1 - 3: Masai Mara

Saruni Mara Camp Location Map

Saruni Mara is an eco-friendly, small boutique safari lodge located in the private Mara North Conservancy, which borders the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. The safari experience in the conservancy is the same as being in the Masai Mara Reserve but without the minibuses - so exactly as the first hunters and explorers discovered it.

Daily game drives, accompanied by a professional guide and tracker, depart early in the morning or in the late afternoon, when the wildlife is most active. The drives explore secluded areas where no other tourists go, so the only other people that you will meet will be the Maasai, armed only with a spear and bow and arrows, who are guarding their herds of cattle. On the morning safari drive, the light is perfect for photography so make sure your camera battery is fully charged!  On the afternoon drive, just before sunset, you will stop in the bush for a sundowner and listen to the sounds of nature as you sip your drink.

On a game walk you will walk with the Maasai warriors into the African bush and learn how they use the berries and the leaves, about their traditions and their life, and about the animal tracks you come across.

The huge fireplace is the focal point of life at Saruni and it is here that guests exchange memories of their day on safari. Guests may also be treated to a mealtime in a 'secret spot', providing the thrilling experience of a gourmet meal in the middle of the bush.

The Maasai Wellbeing Space offers a range of massage and wellness treatments - a lovely way to relax in between the safari activities of the day.

The 5 cottages are each decorated to a unique theme with a luxurious, classic safari feel. From your large veranda you can enjoy views of the plains and the wildlife dotted about. The Family Villa has 2 large en-suite bedrooms, a large lounge complete with dining area and a welcoming fireplace, and a veranda.

Nyati House is a beautiful, private wilderness home, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge and dining room, kitchen and large veranda. It is booked exclusively and is located a 5 minute drive away from the main camp, in its own secluded valley. Perfect for groups or families looking for privacy and wanting to experience a safari on their own schedule, a stay here comes with your own safari vehicle and guide, and with meals served in your own dining room.

WaterLovers Beach Resort

The Kenyan Coast

Days 4 - 7: The Kenyan Coast

WaterLovers Beach Resort Location Map

WaterLovers is a quaint beach resort on the tropical shores of the Indian Ocean. A mere 35 km from Mombasa, it is located in Diani Beach, on Kenya's South Coast, which is known for its white sands and turquoise warm waters - a perfect setting for a holiday in paradise by the ocean.

The long fine and white beach of Diani stretches along a beautiful 25 kilometres. The beach is very wide although this varies substantially during the day, depending on the tides. The coral reef is 700 metres from the beach and serves as a natural barrier, allowing for flat water inside and wave conditions close to the reef.

This is a perfect destination for kite surf and windsurf lovers. Constant trade winds blow into the spacious, pristine beach and the reef offers flat-water conditions and waves.

For those who want to start diving or already have a diving licence, the reef is extremely rich and offers different kinds of dive spots. Among the most common species are the colourful reef fish, the beautiful sea turtles and the giant whale sharks, which come to the reef between November and March.

Snorkelling equipment and kayaks are complimentary from the Waterlovers Beach House. One of the fishermen’s traditional wooden boats can take you to the coral reef in 10 minutes where you can go snorkelling and explore the wonderful tropical seabeds.

For those who are keen lovers of big game fishing, the Indian Ocean is rich with blue marlins, sail fish and tunas, or golfers can head 5 minutes down the road to the 18 hole course at Leisure Lodge Golf Club, home to the Diani Beach Masters.

The resort offers 8 very spacious Suites, an ocean front Penthouse Apartment and a self-contained Villa, all oceanfront and luxury equipped.

The restaurant is set by the turtle-shaped infinity pool overlooking the ocean, and the structure is reminiscent of Greek architecture - spacious whitewashed arcades with wooden ceiling beams. The food is a combination of Mediterranean and African coast. Roasted pumpkin ravioli in crab and fish ragout, crab fagottini with avocado and lime sauce, passion fruit mousse with white chocolate flakes and mint leaves are only some of dishes that will charm your taste buds.

There is also a beach bar, a spa set in tranquil gardens, and a boutique shop selling local arts and crafts.
