9 Days / 8 Nights | Nairobi – Maasai Mara – Mauritius

A beautifully balanced journey combining the excitement of Kenya’s most celebrated safari destination with four nights of barefoot luxury on the shores of Mauritius. Begin with a relaxed night in Nairobi, fly into the Maasai Mara for three unforgettable days of exceptional wildlife viewing, then trade the savannah for the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

Day 1: Nairobi | 1 Night

Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where you will be met by your private Luxe Travel Managers representative and transferred to your hotel

Settle into your suite and spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Enjoy the hotel gardens, unwind at the spa or enjoy a relaxed dinner before your safari adventure begins.

Day 2 | Nairobi – Maasai Mara

After breakfast, transfer privately to Wilson Airport for your short scenic flight into the Maasai Mara.

As you leave Nairobi behind, the landscape gradually opens into the rolling plains of the Mara. On arrival, your private safari guide will meet you at the airstrip and your first game drive begins almost immediately.

Arrive at Angama Mara, dramatically positioned approximately 300 metres above the Mara below. Its spacious tented suites feature enormous glass fronts designed to make the wilderness the centre piece of the stay.

Enjoy lunch overlooking the plains before heading out for an afternoon game drive. As the sun begins to set, stop for sundowners surrounded by the vast African landscape.

Day 3 | The Maasai Mara – A Full Day on Safari

Wake before sunrise to freshly brewed Kenyan coffee before setting out across the Mara.

The cooler early hours are particularly rewarding for game viewing, with predators often still active and the plains slowly coming alive in the morning light.

Spend the day searching for the Big Five, large elephant and buffalo herds, giraffes, cheetahs and the Mara’s celebrated lion prides.

Your safari can be completely tailored to your preferred pace. Enjoy a picnic breakfast or lunch in the wilderness, return to the lodge between game drives, or stay out for a full day the Masai Mara.

Day 4 | Maasai Mara – Signature Safari Experiences

Today can be designed around some of the Mara's most memorable experiences.

For a truly special start, take an optional hot-air balloon safari at sunrise, floating silently above the plains before landing for a celebratory bush breakfast.

Alternatively, enjoy another morning game drive before returning to your camp for a leisurely afternoon.

You may also choose to experience a guided walk with a Maasais, spend time learning about Maasai culture or engage in some inhouse activities or simply relax by the swimming pool as you take in the natural beauty of the reserve.

Your final evening in the Mara is best celebrated with sundowners followed by an intimate dinner beneath the African sky.

From Safari to the Indian Ocean
Day 5 | Maasai Mara – Nairobi – Mauritius

Enjoy a final breakfast overlooking the Mara before saying goodbye to the African wilderness.

You will fly back to Nairobi and connect to JKIA International airport for your regional flight to Mauritius. Depending on flight schedules, you might spend a night in night in Nairobi and we can connect your international flight back home directly from Mauritius.

Day 6 | Mauritius – Barefoot Luxury

Wake to the sound of the Indian Ocean.

After the early mornings of safari, today is intentionally unhurried. Enjoy breakfast overlooking the gardens and ocean before spending the day between the beach and swimming pool.

Indulge in a spa treatment, enjoy water sports on the lagoon or simply find a quiet spot beneath the palms with nowhere else to be.

As evening approaches, enjoy cocktails followed by dinner at the resort.

Day 7 | Discover Mauritius

After breakfast, choose between another completely relaxed resort day or a privately guided exploration of Mauritius.

For a more experiential day, consider a catamaran cruise, with time for swimming and snorkelling in clear Indian Ocean waters.

Alternatively, explore the island privately, visiting local villages, botanical gardens, scenic viewpoints and some of Mauritius' beautiful coastal landscapes.

Day 8 | Mauritius – Your Final Island Day

Your last full day has been kept deliberately free.

Sleep late, enjoy a leisurely breakfast and spend the morning swimming, paddleboarding or relaxing on the beach.

For a special finale, enjoy a couples' spa ritual followed by a private beachfront dinner under the stars.

It is a wonderfully slow conclusion to a journey that began among the wildlife-filled plains of Kenya.

Day 9 | Departure from Mauritius

Enjoy your final breakfast and morning at leisure.

At the appropriate time, your private chauffeur will transfer you to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport for your onward flight home.
