The Kenya and Seychelles itinerary, day by day
A 12-day Kenya and Seychelles itinerary — big cats on the Mara’s golden plains, then a world away: barefoot days among the granite boulders and turquoise coves of the Seychelles.
Nothing here is fixed — this is the shape we design most often. Tell us what to keep, stretch or swap, and your version arrives priced and complete.
July–October pairs Mara migration season with the Seychelles’ calm season.
US travelers: check current entry requirements for each country on travel.state.gov — we also walk you through visas at booking.
Nairobi
Arrive Nairobi; overnight in leafy Karen with time for the Giraffe Centre and the Sheldrick elephant nursery.
Maasai Mara
Fly from Wilson Airport (45 minutes) into a private Mara conservancy — off-road lion and cheetah, night drives and a dawn balloon over the plains.
Amboseli
Great tuskers beneath Kilimanjaro’s snows before flying back through Nairobi.
Seychelles
A direct flight to paradise — a beachfront hideaway on Mahé or Praslin, island-hopping, snorkeling and nothing on the calendar.
Home
Fly out of Mahé, rested and sun-warmed.
