Nairobi: The Gateway
Day One. Welcome to Nairobi
The capital is relatively young, but today it is a thriving hub of music, fashion, and tech. We start with lunch at 15 Rooftop for views across the city, followed by a visit to the KICC rooftop to map out the city's political and social histories. We finish at the Nairobi Railway Museum before sunset cocktails in Westlands.
Day Two. Contemporary Creative Nairobi
Today is dedicated to the city's art, cuisine, and fashion. We visit designers and fine artists in their studios, explore design hubs, and sample traditional dishes. The evening is spent at the home of a local musician for an intimate concert featuring original Kenyan compositions.
Day Three. Tigoni Tea Plantations
Kenya is the world's third-largest producer of tea. We head to the emerald-green highlands of Tigoni for a sensory walk and a tasting of premium regional teas. We enjoy a leisurely lunch in the area before returning to explore Nairobi's fine dining scene.
The heart of the city: Contemporary Nairobi
Salty Dust & The Madaraka Express
Day Four & Five. Amboseli National Park
Amboseli, meaning "salty dust" in Maasai, is the premier place to view herds of elephants against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. We spend two days on game drives tracking hippo, zebra, and lions, staying at a lodge deep within the park.
Giants of the salty dust: Amboseli National Park
Day Six & Seven. Tsavo East National Park
We board the modern Madaraka Express—a sleek journey through the national park where wildlife can be spotted from the train. Tsavo East is home to the famous 'dust-red' elephants and over 500 bird species. We spend two nights here in total immersion with nature.
Diani: White Sands & Blue Lagoons
Day Eight. Mombasa & Fort Jesus
We take the train to Mombasa and enjoy lunch at Forodhani Restaurant in the old customs house. We tour the historic Fort Jesus with a specialist before transferring south to the Diani coast.
Azure horizons: The Diani Coastline
Day Nine & Ten. Dhow Sailing & Coral Reefs
We spend a full day exploring coral reefs on a classic wooden dhow boat, snorkeling in clear blue waters and watching for dolphins. The rest of the time is spent at leisure, soaking in the coastal hospitality.
Day Eleven & Twelve. Return to Nairobi
A short flight takes us back to Nairobi for final souvenir shopping. We close the journey with a farewell dinner joined by special guests from the creative community before transferring to the airport for the flight home.
