Luxury Safari in Kenya

This Luxury Safari in Kenya is designed for travelers looking for exclusivity while making a positive impact on the destination. It is recommended for:

Couples looking to disconnect the hustle and bustle of everyday work.
Honneymooners looking for an unforgettable experience.
Families with children who want to make an unforgettable safari for the whole family.

The trip is divided into two parts, the safari in masai mara and a relaxing beach escape.

Luxury Safari in the Masai Mara

During the first four days of luxury safari in Kenya, we will stay in a exclusive Boutique Camp of only four tents offering privacy and comfort in the heart of nature. These days we will combine safaris in the Mara National Reserve and
safaris within the private conservation area where we are staying.

We will also have the opportunity to learn about impactful social projects, such as a local elementary school that has grown to support over 100 students in just two years, and gain a deeper understanding of authentic Maasai life, away from the typical tourist circuits.

This luxury safari in the Masai Mara is perfect for honeymooners, couples, or families seeking an exclusive and beautiful place that combines comfort, adventure, and a meaningful commitment to responsible travel in the Global South.

Beach Extension: Lamu Island / Diani Beach

The second part ff this luxury safari will be spent on the island of Lamu or on one of the most famous beaches in Kenya: Diani Beach. In both cases, we will have to take a short flight.

Since this safari is exclusively designed by Trip to Help, we offer the flexibility to tailor the experience and adjust the destination based on the traveler’s preferences.

To summarize a little, Diani Beach is a more touristy coastal area, and Lamu is a less touristy island where local life blends naturally with tourism.

If you are looking for a beachfront hotel with a pool, and spend the 3 days at the hotel, walking along the beach, Diani Beach is more your style.
If instead, you like to explore,
connect with the locals, and experience life on a car-free island, where donkeys are the main mode of transport, then Lamu is the place for you.

Whichever you choose, we have stunning luxury hotels right by the sea, ensuring an unforgettable stay. 😊🌴

Accommodations during your luxury safari in Kenya

In the Masai Mara, we will be staying in a private conservation area, meaning that only guests of this luxury lodge have access—no outside vehicles are allowed. This exclusivity ensures that the safaris and activities within the conservation area are private and intimate, offering a truly unique experience.

However, some activities (except if you are in a honeymoon) may be shared with other guests staying at the lodge, adding to the sense of community while maintaining a personalized and exclusive safari experience.

luxury safari accommodation in the masai mara

In the coast, we can stay in several hotels, in Diani beach we work mainly in two categories of hotels. One more young and modern and the other more luxurious and a little more classic.

In Lamu, we have several accommodation options, but the one that best matches the expectations of travelers looking for a luxury safari experience is:

Day 1

Arrival at Maasai Mara

We will pick you up at Siana Airport, in the Masai Mara, and take you to an exclusive lodge nestled in the breathtaking Ololasurai Valley, home to an elephant corridor that connects the reserve with Olarro Plains and the Loita Hills forests.

After settling in and enjoying lunch, you can explore the River Trail, a scenic path surrounded by centuries-old trees that the Maasai use in ceremonies and for natural medicine. If you’re in the mood, you can also take a refreshing dip in a natural outdoor shower.

Upon returning, our vehicle will be ready for a safari in the conservation area. As night falls, we’ll enjoy sundowners while watching the sunset in the heart of nature.

There is no better way to begin a Luxury Safari in Kenya than with a private night safari in a Maasai-owned conservation area.

We’ll also follow elephant migration routes, and if you prefer, you can choose a vehicle safari early in the morning before breakfast.

In the afternoon, we’ll walk to a Maasai settlement in the Ololasurai Valley to experience their traditions, culture, and way of life up close. This will be a unique opportunity to interact with the local community, learn about their daily lives, challenges, and customs, and even visit the local school, sharing a special moment with the children.

After the visit, we’ll return to the camp with a scenic safari en route, just in time to enjoy a traditional dinner and end the day in the best way possible.
