Day 1
Arrival in Nairobi – Welcome to Hemingways Elegance
Touch down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and be greeted by our representative who’ll whisk you away to Hemingways Nairobi or Hemingways Eden Residence — an oasis of calm tucked within the leafy Karen suburb. After check-in, unwind with a welcome drink as the evening light dances across the Ngong Hills. Enjoy a relaxed dinner at The Brasserie or indulge in a cocktail on the terrace. This first night is all about letting the journey settle in — a prelude to the adventure ahead.

Accommodation
Day 2
Nairobi to the Maasai Mara – Into the Wild
After a leisurely breakfast, transfer to Wilson Airport for your scenic flight to Ol Seki Airstrip in the Naboisho Conservancy. As you soar over the Great Rift Valley, the landscapes unfold into endless savannahs below. On arrival, your guide will take you to Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, where luxury tented suites open to sweeping views of the wilderness. Following lunch and a short rest, head out for your first afternoon game drive — lions lazing under acacias, elephants roaming gracefully, and perhaps a cheetah on the hunt. Return to camp for a sundowner, then a candle-lit dinner beneath the stars.

Day 3
Golden Mornings and a Bush Breakfast to Remember
Awake to the sounds of the wild — birdsong, rustling grass, and distant calls of the savannah. Set out early for a morning game drive, when predators are most active. After thrilling sightings, your guide will lead you to a secluded spot for a bush breakfast surrounded by untamed beauty. Return to camp to relax before lunch and a peaceful siesta. In the afternoon, visit a Maasai village to experience the community’s deep traditions and storytelling. As night falls, embark on a guided night drive to encounter nocturnal creatures under the glittering African sky.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation
Day 4
Full Day Safari in Naboisho and the Greater Mara
Today is your deep dive into the wild. Enjoy a full-day game drive across Naboisho and into the famed Maasai Mara Reserve. With your picnic lunch packed, follow the river’s edge, where hippos bask and crocodiles linger. The Mara reveals its rhythm — vast herds of wildebeest, elegant giraffes, and the quiet dignity of elephants in motion. As the day closes, return to camp for an evening of storytelling around the fire and a private dinner under the stars.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation
Day 5
Sunrise Drive & Return to Nairobi
Catch one last sunrise over the plains on your final morning game drive — the Mara’s farewell gift. After breakfast, bid your guides goodbye and board your flight back to Nairobi. Upon arrival, transfer to Hemingways Nairobi for another night of refined comfort. In the afternoon, enjoy a half-day city excursion to the Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum, and local artisan boutiques for some light shopping.

Transport: Flight (Ol Seki–Wilson)

Journey to the Coast – Hemingways Watamu Awaits
After breakfast, fly from Wilson Airport to Malindi on Kenya’s coastline. A private transfer brings you to Hemingways Watamu — a beachfront retreat of calm turquoise waters and swaying palms. Spend the afternoon lounging by the pool or walking along Watamu Beach. As the sun dips low, toast to the start of your coastal escape over a romantic dinner by the ocean.
Meals: Dinner
Transport: Flight (Wilson–Malindi)

Day 8
Discover Watamu’s Hidden Treasures
Today invites exploration beyond the beach. Visit the ancient Gede Ruins — a 12th-century Swahili town reclaimed by the forest — or glide through Mida Creek’s mangroves by traditional canoe. Between July and August, a private whale-watching trip offers a once-in-a-lifetime sighting. Return in time to catch the sunset over the ocean and dine to the rhythm of gentle waves.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 9
A Final Day in Paradise
Savor your final full day at Hemingways Watamu. Whether you choose to sunbathe, dive, or simply do nothing at all, every moment feels like it was designed to slow time. Treat yourself to a seafood feast or embark on a sunset dhow cruise to end your journey on a magical note.
