LUNA DE MIEL EN QUENIA
20 Feb to 4th March 2027
NAIROBI - 1 night - 20 Feb
Set in the leafy suburb of Karen, this elegant boutique hotel offers a peaceful escape from the energy of Nairobi. Surrounded by lush gardens, it combines the warmth of a private home with attentive hospitality and easy access to the city’s main attractions, including the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum.
21 FEB: Early morning flight to laikipia (60 min)
LAIKIPIA - 3 nights - 21, 22, 23 Feb
Hidden in the heart of northern Kenya, beneath the dramatic peaks of the Mathews Range, this intimate retreat opens onto the vast wilderness of the Namunyak Community Conservancy. Here, arid plains, rocky hills and ancient forests meet beneath an immense sky, creating a landscape that feels both raw and deeply peaceful.
The region shelters an extraordinary variety of wildlife. Elephants move along ancestral routes between the mountains and the lowlands, while leopards, lions and African wild dogs roam the surrounding wilderness. Northern Kenya is also known for its rare and distinctive species, including the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich—animals specially adapted to this beautiful, semi-arid environment.
This land is also the ancestral home of the Samburu people. Their knowledge, traditions and close relationship with nature shape every experience, from guided walks and wildlife encounters to stories shared around the fire. For generations, the Samburu have lived alongside the animals of this region, and today their community-led conservation work is helping both wildlife and local livelihoods flourish.
Nearby, a community-run elephant orphanage offers one of the most moving experiences in northern Kenya. Owned and managed by the Indigenous Samburu community, it rescues and rehabilitates orphaned and abandoned elephant calves, preparing them to return to the wild. A visit reveals not only the remarkable bond between the elephants and their keepers, but also a powerful vision of conservation—one rooted in local knowledge, collective care and hope for the future.
More than a safari, a stay here is an invitation to experience northern Kenya through its landscapes, its wildlife and the people who protect them.
24 FEB: early morning flight to Masai Mara (1 hour)
The Masai Mara - 4 nights - 24, 25, 26, 27 Feb
Perched high above the vast plains of the Maasai Mara, on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, this exceptional retreat seems to float between earth and sky. From its elevated position, sweeping views stretch across the Mara Triangle, where golden grasslands, winding rivers and scattered acacia trees create one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
The Maasai Mara is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife throughout the year. Lions rest beneath the shade of acacias, elephants cross the open plains, and leopards move silently through riverine forests. Cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and countless antelope species complete the scene, while the Mara River supports hippos, crocodiles and an exceptional variety of birdlife.
During the Great Migration, enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra arrive from the Serengeti, transforming the plains into the setting for one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles. Yet the Mara is captivating in every season, offering intimate wildlife encounters and constantly changing light across its immense horizons.
This is also the ancestral homeland of the Maasai people, whose culture and deep connection to the land remain an essential part of the experience. Guided walks with Maasai naturalists, traditional storytelling and beadwork offer a meaningful introduction to their heritage, knowledge and enduring relationship with the surrounding wilderness.
Days can begin with a sunrise game drive or a hot-air balloon journey above the plains, followed by a picnic in the bush or a quiet afternoon overlooking the valley. As evening falls, the escarpment is bathed in soft golden light, creating a profound sense of stillness.
More than a place to observe the wild, this is an invitation to experience the scale, beauty and spirit of the Maasai Mara from one of its most spectacular viewpoints.
28 Feb: early morning flight to Nairobi (50 Min) and change to flight to Lamu (1h30)
THe beach - 4 nights - 28 feb and 1, 2, 3 march
Set on the peaceful shores of Lamu Island, this intimate hideaway offers a different rhythm of life. Surrounded by coconut palms and overlooking the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, it is a place shaped by sunlight, sea breezes and the gentle movement of the tides.
Each cabana has been designed as a private retreat, combining barefoot simplicity with the rich artistic character of the East African coast. Carved wooden doors, natural fabrics, handcrafted ceramics and colourful textiles reflect Lamu’s distinctive Swahili heritage, while open spaces create a constant connection with the ocean and the surrounding landscape.
Days unfold slowly here. Mornings begin with the sound of the waves, followed by long walks along the beach, swimming, yoga or quiet moments beneath the palms. More adventurous guests can explore the coastline by kayak, try kitesurfing or sail aboard a traditional wooden dhow as the sun sets over the archipelago.
Beyond the beach lies the living history of Lamu. Centuries of African, Arab, Persian and Indian influence can be seen in its architecture, craftsmanship and traditions. Wandering through the narrow streets of the old town reveals carved doorways, shaded courtyards, lively markets and a culture that remains closely connected to the sea.
With its secluded location and relaxed atmosphere, this is more than a beach escape. It is a place to disconnect from the outside world, reconnect with nature and surrender to the timeless spirit of the Kenyan coast. Thoughtfully powered by solar energy, it offers an experience that is both beautiful and respectful of its fragile island environment.
