Masai Mara meets Zanzibar

Our best value ever safari and beach holiday. This two-week holiday combines the wildlife rich plains of the Masai Mara in Kenya (within a private conservancy no less), with the silky, soft beaches of Zanzibar.


This trip pairs the world-famous Masai Mara with exotic Zanzibar. From Nairobi, you'll take a light aircraft to the Masai Mara, before being whisked away to Eagle View safari camp. This small, 10-room camp has plenty to boast about. Sat on a ridge, overlooking a natural waterhole where game comes to drink, it has some of the best views in the Masai Mara, plus National Geographic named it one of the top 25 eco-lodges in the world. Located in a private conservancy, the wildlife viewing here is amazing, and the service and guiding will not disappoint.

Whilst here, you have the option to add on a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Mara. A signature experience, and although not a cheap addition, a true bucket list activity, floating gently above the plains as the sun pokes its head above the horizon and game go about their day below.

Next up, it's Zanzibar, famous for its pristine sandy beaches and stunning coral reefs. Start your week with a night in historic Stone Town allowing you to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and cultural gem, before heading to Zanzibar Queen Hotel, set on one of the most beautiful coral beaches in the world - Matemwe - a true gem among Zanzibar resorts. Spend the rest of your trip relaxing on the beach, snorkelling, eating delicious seafood and generally living the good life.

January

January is a great time for wildlife viewing. The landscapes are lush and green after the 'short rains' and newborn animals can been seen. It is hot, but brief afternoon or evening showers cool things down, without compromising your safari. Over on the coast the sea is clear, making it ideal for diving and snorkelling, and the days are warm and bright.
