Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where meet and greet will take place. Then, you will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your flight to Maasai Mara Game Reserve which will take approximately one hour. On arrival, you will be met at the airstrip and have transferred to Sand River Maasai Mara camp which is a 45-minute drive. While at the lodge you'll enjoy shared and scheduled game drives in custom 4x4 vehicles, bush meals and landowners, and cultural experiences.

Maasai Mara National Reserve - Discover the big cats during game reserve

Located on the banks of a river from which it has taken its name, Sand River Maasai Mara is located within the Maasai Mara National Reserve, close to the Tanzanian border on a secluded and picturesque site. Sand River Maasai Mara is an ideal destination, at any time of the year, for those wishing to enjoy exceptional game-viewing.

The Maasai Mara Game Reserve is best known for its large concentrations of big cats, such as leopard, cheetah, and, of course, lion. Even the dramatic arrival of the Annual Migration merely adds to an already abundant resident wildlife that awaits discovery.

The Maasai Mara is a Photographer's Paradise

The Maasai Mara is known as one of the world’s most famous wildlife areas and welcomes 1,5 million wildebeests onto its sprawling savannahs each July through October. The Maasai Mara has endless plains, breath-taking vistas, and abundant wildlife. The Maasai Mara is a photographer's paradise for an extra special birds-eye view of the African plains, taking them to the skies during a hot-air balloon safari.

Welcome to Diani Beach

Our lovely wilderness safari and stay in Maasai Mara end this morning. After our farewell breakfast, we enjoy a shared transfer to the airstrip where we board our scheduled flight to Diani for the sea breeze of the Indian Ocean on the famous Swahili coast. Flying from the Maasai Mara game reserve plains to the tropical coast takes us over amazingly diverse scenery from dry arid lands scattered with Acacia trees to lush tropical forests as we near the coast. The flight takes approximately 2 hours with a stopover in Amboseli.

The hotel lies south of Mombasa- Kenya, on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Afrochic Diani is the perfect getaway for the discerning traveler who wants to simply ‘flop and drop’ and enjoy the spectacular views of exotic and ancient dhows in full sail. This exclusively intimate hotel - with only 10 guest rooms each with their en suite bathroom, balcony, and sun-loungers - is singularly personable and highly individual.

The Diani Beach is perfect for everyone from families to couples. 18 hole Championship Golf Course is within a three-minute drive from the hotel for those who wish for a more active way to spend the day.
