Why This Luxury Itinerary Stands Out

This journey represents the perfect balance between authentic safari experiences and uncompromising luxury. By combining the exclusive Elewana Collection properties—each known for their distinctive character and exceptional service—with seamless light aircraft transfers, you maximize experience time while minimizing transit fatigue.

The progression from cultural immersion in Nairobi to private conservancy access in Lewa, iconic Mara landscapes, and finally tropical beach relaxation creates a narrative journey that satisfies both adventure and relaxation desires. The inclusion of a marine excursion at Wasini Island adds a unique dimension rarely combined with traditional safari itineraries.

Designed specifically for two travelers, every element—from accommodation configurations to activity timing—prioritizes intimacy, privacy, and personalized attention that larger group tours cannot provide.
