Amboseli › Laikipia › Maasai Mara › Zanzibar
This eleven-day journey is a masterclass in East African travel — a seamlessly connected arc through four of the region's most iconic destinations, staying exclusively within the celebrated Elewana Collection. Begin beneath the great snows of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, where elephant herds move across open plains in one of Africa's most photographed landscapes. Fly north to the highland wilderness of Laikipia's Lewa Conservancy, a stronghold for endangered rhino and a landscape of extraordinary biodiversity. Move on to the legendary Maasai Mara, where the world's greatest concentration of predators plays out against golden grasslands, before trading bush for beach as you fly to the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar for four nights of pure all-inclusive luxury at the incomparable Kilindi. Four properties. Four worlds. One unforgettable journey.
Your Elewana journey begins at Wilson Airport, where a scheduled morning flight carries you south towards the Tanzanian border and the vast Amboseli ecosystem. As the aircraft descends, the first reveal is always the same — the flat, shimmering plains stretching to the horizon, and beyond them, the unmistakable white dome of Mount Kilimanjaro rising from the clouds. No photograph quite prepares you for the scale of it. On landing, your Tortilis Camp vehicle will be waiting for a direct transfer into camp, arriving in time for lunch before heading straight out for an afternoon game drive. Elephant herds, buffalo wallowing in the swamps, and the extraordinary backdrop of Africa's highest mountain set the tone for what lies ahead.
Accommodation
An Elewana Collection classic, Tortilis Camp sits within a private conservancy bordering Amboseli National Park — offering private game drives, expansive Kilimanjaro views, and intimate tented luxury in one of Kenya's most iconic settings.
1 Night · Full Board
A full day in Amboseli is a full day in the company of elephants. The park protects one of the most studied and beloved elephant populations on earth, with some families having been monitored for over five decades. Your guide will introduce you to these remarkable animals not simply as wildlife, but as individuals with histories, relationships, and personalities that researchers have documented across generations. Morning and afternoon drives cover the open grasslands, fever tree woodlands, and the famous Enkiama swamp, where hippos jostle and thousands of birds crowd the papyrus edge. The scale of Kilimanjaro overhead — present on clear mornings and mysterious behind cloud in the afternoons — adds an almost surreal grandeur to every moment in the field.
Accommodation
Another extraordinary day in Amboseli — the Elewana Collection's most iconic Kenyan address — where elephants and Kilimanjaro define every horizon.
1 Night · Full Board
After an early morning drive and breakfast, transfer to Amboseli airstrip for your scheduled flight north to Laikipia — one of Kenya's most remarkable private wilderness regions. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's most successful conservation success stories, having dramatically reversed the decline of both black and white rhino populations against formidable odds. As the aircraft lands on the highland plateau, the landscape shifts dramatically — rolling grasslands, cedar forests, and rocky outcrops replace the dust and plains of Amboseli. Lewa Safari Camp sits at the heart of this extraordinary ecosystem, and an afternoon drive here introduces an entirely new cast of characters: rhino, Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, lion, and wild dog.
Accommodation
Lewa Safari Camp is an intimate tented retreat set within the heart of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, offering exceptional rhino encounters and a highland wilderness atmosphere that feels entirely distinct from the rest of Kenya.
1 Night · Full Board
Lewa rewards those who look closely. Spend a full day exploring the conservancy with your guide, whose knowledge of the landscape and its resident animals transforms every drive into something far more than a game count. This morning, set out with the specific aim of tracking both black and white rhino on foot — a guided rhino trekking experience that brings you within remarkable proximity of these ancient animals in complete safety. Lewa also supports one of Kenya's strongest African wild dog populations, and a patient search of the conservancy's open corridors often yields encounters with these charismatic, endangered predators. Night falls early at altitude, and the evenings at Lewa — gathered around the campfire as the temperature drops and the stars crowd overhead — carry a magic all their own.
Accommodation
A full day in the Lewa Conservancy — one of East Africa's premier rhino sanctuaries and a landscape rich in rare and endangered species found nowhere else in Kenya.
1 Night · Full Board
Board your scheduled flight southwest from Lewa, tracing the edge of the Great Rift Valley as the highlands give way to the rolling savannah of the Maasai Mara below. The Mara needs little preamble — it is the most celebrated wildlife ecosystem on the planet, and arriving by air gives a privileged first view of its staggering scale. Sand River Masai Mara awaits: an Elewana Collection camp of understated elegance positioned on the banks of the Sand River in a prime corner of the reserve near the Tanzanian border — the most coveted location in the Mara during the Great Migration months. Settle in over lunch before your first afternoon drive in a landscape that never fails to deliver.
Accommodation
Sand River Masai Mara is one of the Elewana Collection's most beloved properties — a classic tented camp on the banks of the Sand River, ideally positioned in the southern Mara for exceptional wildlife and Migration river crossing access.
1 Night · Full Board
A full day in the Maasai Mara — and the freedom to use every hour of it. Sand River Camp's location in the far south of the reserve is strategically superb: close to the crossing points used by wildebeest and zebra during the Great Migration, and in the heartland of one of the Mara's most reliably productive lion territories. Morning and afternoon game drives venture deep into the reserve, guided by your expert Elewana guide whose reading of the landscape is honed by years in the field. Whether it's a leopard draping itself across an acacia branch, a cheetah and her cubs racing after Thomson's gazelle, or the thunder and chaos of a river crossing that draws hundreds of hippos and crocodiles, the Mara delivers its drama without apology.
Accommodation
A full day of world-class game viewing from one of the Mara's most coveted camp locations — where big cats, river drama, and the sheer abundance of wildlife define every drive.
1 Night · Full Board
After a final sunrise drive and breakfast at camp, transfer to the Mara airstrip for your morning flight back to Nairobi's Wilson Airport for your connecting flight to Zanzibar — and in the space of a few hours, trade the golden savannah for the turquoise Indian Ocean. As the aircraft begins its descent over the Zanzibar archipelago, the change is total and intoxicating: white sand, dhow sails, clove-scented air, and the ancient coral-stone alleyways of Stone Town below. Your Kilindi vehicle will collect you from the airport for the drive to the north of the island, where one of East Africa's most extraordinary beach retreats awaits.
Accommodation
Set on the unspoilt northern tip of Zanzibar, Kilindi is an architectural statement as much as a hotel — a collection of open-fronted pavilions perched above a private beach, where all-inclusive luxury and extraordinary ocean views create a fitting finale to any safari.
1 Night · All Inclusive
Your first full day at Kilindi belongs entirely to you. The hotel's private beach on Zanzibar's north shore enjoys some of the clearest, calmest water on the island — ideal for a morning spent paddleboarding across the lagoon or kayaking along the coastline at your own pace. Both activities are included in your all-inclusive stay. Beneath the surface, Zanzibar's coral reefs are extraordinary — a living kaleidoscope of parrotfish, moray eels, octopus, and reef sharks that rewards snorkellers and divers alike. In the afternoon, retreat to Kilindi's stunning infinity pool as the trade winds drift in off the ocean, or claim a sun bed on the beach and do nothing at all. Both are entirely valid choices.
Accommodation
Days at Kilindi are unhurried and restorative — the Indian Ocean as your playground, with paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling (at an extra cost), and pure beach luxury all at your disposal.
1 Night · All Inclusive
Zanzibar's history is as layered and intoxicating as its landscapes. Today, venture inland on a spice farm tour — a sensory journey through the plantations that gave the island its ancient epithet, the Spice Island. Your guide will lead you through groves of clove, nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, and black pepper, pausing to crush each spice between your fingers and unlock the aromas that once made Zanzibar one of the most coveted trading destinations in the world. In the afternoon, explore the winding coral-stone alleyways of Stone Town — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the living heart of Swahili coastal culture — before returning to Kilindi for a beach sundowner and another memorable all-inclusive dinner as the Indian Ocean darkens to indigo.
Accommodation
Beyond the beach, Zanzibar's cultural and historical depth is extraordinary — a spice island with a Swahili soul, best explored with time and curiosity.
1 Night · All Inclusive
Your last full day at Kilindi is an invitation to slow down completely. Sleep late, swim before breakfast, and let the rhythm of the Indian Ocean set the pace. This morning the tide may pull you out to the sandbanks that emerge at low water — a surreal, silent expanse of white sand rising from a turquoise sea, accessible only by foot across the shallows. For those craving one final adventure, a guided snorkelling trip (comes at an extra cost) to the outer reef reveals a marine environment of spectacular richness. Kilindi's spa offers a menu of treatments drawing on local coastal botanicals — the ideal preparation for the journey home. As the sun sinks over the Indian Ocean and the horizon turns a deep, burning amber, raise a final glass to eleven days extraordinarily well spent.
Accommodation
A final, unscheduled day at Kilindi — the perfect ending to an eleven-day journey across some of East Africa's most remarkable wild places.
1 Night · All Inclusive
After a final breakfast with the Indian Ocean stretching to the horizon, your Kilindi team will arrange your transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your onward international or connecting flight. Eleven days, four extraordinary destinations, four Elewana Collection properties — each one a distinct and memorable chapter in a journey that spans Kenya's greatest wildlife ecosystems and the timeless beauty of the Swahili coast. The open plains of Amboseli, the highland wilderness of Lewa, the legendary Maasai Mara, and the turquoise embrace of Zanzibar: together, they form the full, magnificent breadth of East African travel at its very finest.
Free baggage allowance for each passenger is STRICTLY 15kgs in soft bags, inclusive of hand luggage and cameras. The fares quoted are current and pricing is subject to change based on availability of flight seats at the time of booking.
Named after the distinctive tortilis acacia trees that shade its tented suites, Tortilis Camp is one of the Elewana Collection's most celebrated properties — a luxury tented retreat within a private conservancy that directly borders Amboseli National Park. The camp's elevated position provides uninterrupted views of Mount Kilimanjaro, and its private conservancy access allows for off-road driving and walking safaris unavailable within the main park.
Set within the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy — a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Laikipia highlands — Lewa Safari Camp is an intimate tented retreat offering an exceptional highland safari experience. The conservancy is one of Africa's great conservation success stories, home to significant populations of both black and white rhino, endangered Grevy's zebra, African wild dog, and a remarkable diversity of plains game and birdlife across its varied highland terrain.
Positioned on the banks of the Sand River in the far south of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Sand River Masai Mara is one of the Elewana Collection's most storied camps — a classic tented property with a timeless atmosphere and one of the best locations in the reserve. The camp's proximity to the Tanzania border and the primary Migration crossing points makes it especially sought after during the Great Migration season, while its resident predator population ensures exceptional game viewing year-round.
On the unspoilt northern tip of Zanzibar, Kilindi is widely regarded as one of the finest beach hotels in the Indian Ocean. A collection of open-fronted domed pavilions set within a private beachfront estate, the property combines dramatic architecture, exceptional cuisine, and world-class service with direct access to calm, turquoise water and pristine coral reefs. The all-inclusive experience at Kilindi is unhurried and deeply restorative — a perfect counterpoint to the energy of the bush.
