Andy and Marianne’s Safari and Sand Spectacular

Get ready for an epic and genuinely unforgettable adventure. Marianne and I ran this trip in February 2025 and it was incredible – and the feedback was fantastic too!

We’re adapting the itinerary for 2026 and this is just one example of what we are considering. This time we will have a total of 6 nights on safari in two different areas as well as 4 nights at a spectacular private villa in Diani Beach. It’s hard to imagine, but it might even be better than 2025!

We’ll kick things off in Nairobi, staying at the iconic Sarova Stanley hotel. This place is a perfect mix of old-world charm and modern luxury, right in the heart of the city.

Then, it’s time to head into the wild! We’ll take an exhilarating small plane flight to Ol Pejeta Conservancy and dive into the real safari experience. Porini Ol Pejeta Rhino Camp offers authentic luxury and a fabulous location. As the name suggests, the area has a healthy rhino population as well as tons of other wildlife.

After two nights here, we fly on to Porini Giraffe camp in Mara Ripoi Conservancy – intimate and perfectly placed for some epic wildlife sightings. Lions, giraffes, elephants—you name it, they’re here.

Finally, we’re heading to the stunning Lzay Days private villa in Diani Beach on the Kenyan coast for five days of pure relaxation. With our own private chef, we will be spoiled as we wind down after all the safari excitement. There are also a number of restaurants in the area if we decide to venture out of our luxurious home…
