Day 1- Shaba National Reserve,
Joy’s Camp:
On arrival into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport you will be met by a Beyond Kenya safaris representative who will transfer you to Wilson Airport for the Safari link scheduled flight to Shaba departing at 10h20.  On arrival at the Chaffa airstrip, your driver/guide will meet you and transfer you to camp. Joy’s Camp has 10 chic canvas bedrooms raised off the ground with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and overlooking a large natural spring. Each sumptuous tent is uniquely decorated with Boran/Somali cloth, handmade glass and vibrant fabrics of the local tribes creating a chic, sophisticated camp. Activities include game drives, bush meals on the Ewaso Nyiro river, cultural visits and sundowners. The camp is ideal for private game viewing as well as relaxing, reading and soaking up the truly wild environs offered by Shaba.

Day 4 – Masai Mara, Cottars Camp:
After breakfast you will be transferred to the airstrip for the Safari Link scheduled flight to the Masai Mara departing at 09h10.  You will be met at Keekerok Airstrip and transferred to Cottars 1920s Camp.  Accommodation is booked for 3 nights on a full board basis.

This camp gives you the authentic feel of that unique era when the word 'safari' became indelibly imprinted on the imagination of the adventurer, past and modern. Extending an era of luxury and quality, Cottars 1920s returns to the original spirit and essence of 'safari', reminiscent of a golden era - an era of romance, professional guiding, adventure and elegance. The Cottar's 1920s Safari Camp is situated in an extensive and exclusive concession between the Maasai Mara, Serengeti and Loliondo reserves where a few Purko Maasai clan roam. This area has been untouched by any kind of tourism or development and offers the discerning client a guarantee of privacy.

The camp accommodates up to twelve clients in authentic white canvas tents, which are spacious and luxuriously furnished and incorporate original safari antiques from the '20's; private en suite dressing rooms and bathrooms (with old-fashioned showers and flushing toilets), the main bedroom and an outdoor veranda.

 Day 7 – Lamu, Manda Bay:
After breakfast you will be transferred to the airstrip for the Safari Link scheduled flight back to Wilson where you will connect with your onward flight to Lamu.  On arrival you will be transferred by boat to Manda Bay, Manda Island, an unspoilt, idyllic island in the Lamu archipelago.  Manda Bay is on a secluded peninsular of the island where guests enjoy total privacy and tranquility. The neighbouring island of Lamu is a twenty minute boat-drive and it's ancient town, now a world heritage site, is a popular place to visit.

Surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and indigenous woodland, Manda Bay is a glorious destination for both active and leisurely holiday makers. The cottages are spacious and comfortable with their own bathrooms; they are specially sited to catch the cooling sea breezes and all have verandas. Each room has a small fridge to keep your drinks cool.

Each bathroom has a shower, twin basins and toilet. There aresixteen cottages, each bed surrounded by large flowing mosquito nets and cooled by overhead fans. The informal dining room and sitting rooms are comfortable, open and airy. They enjoy uninterrupted views of Manda Bay whose ever-changing waters attract birds, small local sailing craft and spectacular marine life. All rooms are furnished in vibrant Kenyan fabrics, specially designed to compliment the environment.

All meals are relaxed and casual, served in the dining room, on the beach, or even on Utumaduni the traditional sailing dhow.  The availability of wonderful, fresh seafood and tropical fruit dictates most menus but Manda Bay offers wholesome, nutritious home-cooked menus from all over the world to suit any palate. Our Swahili chefs can easily cater to the demands of those on special diets.

Day 11 – Depart:
After lunch, you will be transferred by boat in time to catch the 16h00 Safarilink scheduled flight back to Wilson.  A Beyond Kenya Safaris representative will meet and transfer you either for dinner before your international flight, or direct to the international airport for your journey home.
