The moment our plane touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a burst of excitement filled the air, heightened by the genuine warmth of the welcoming team. Notably, they presented us with cool, mint-scented face cloths, a small but perfect remedy for travel fatigue. Thus, this kind gesture not only refreshed us but also hinted at the incredible journey ahead during our holidays in Kenya, ensuring our 12 nights Kenya safari and beach adventure unfolded with impeccable planning and heartfelt hospitality.

We began at Hemingways Nairobi, a cozy spot with city views. The bed-and-breakfast stay felt welcoming, a great start to our holidays in Kenya. Plus, the comfy Executive Double room eased our travel tiredness. So, we enjoyed a quiet dinner, excited for what was next in our Kenyan adventure to the safari and beach.

Wild North at Ol Lentille: Thrills in Laikipia

Next, a short drive to Wilson Airport and a 45-minute flight took us to Loisaba Airstrip. A 45-minute road transfer brought us to Ol Lentille’s Villa Carissa, a stunning retreat. The all-inclusive deal covered tasty meals, local drinks, and fun activities. For instance, day and night game drives showed us zebras and giraffes. Also, quad biking and cultural visits with the Samburu people amazed us. Because of this, our love for Kenya’s wild north grew strong during our safari and beach adventure, creating memorable holidays in Kenya.

For two days, Ol Lentille thrilled us. Picture hiking rugged trails or enjoying bush meals under the sky. One evening, for example, a sundowner with mountain views felt magical. The staff’s warmth and included laundry made everything easy during our Kenyan safari and beach experience. Thus, holidays in Kenya offered us a deep connection to this vibrant land.

Then, we flew to Keekorok Airstrip and drove to JW Marriott Maasai Mara Lodge. The Tented Suite was luxurious, and the all-inclusive stay offered meals, drinks, and game drives for a perfect Kenyan safari. Specifically, we saw the wildebeest migration, a breathtaking sight. Holidays in Kenya included guided walks and bush dinners under stars, adding wonder to our stay. As a result, the Maasai Mara’s beauty stayed with us.

After three days, we flew to Ukunda Airstrip and drove to Alfajiri Beach Villa in Diani. The Beach Villa, with its private pool, felt like paradise. The all-inclusive package included meals, drinks, and snorkeling. For instance, swimming in clear waters and a daily massage relaxed us, adding to the beach adventure during our holidays in Kenya. Also, a visit to a local orphanage touched our hearts. Therefore, Diani’s sunny shores became a perfect ending.

Bittersweet Farewell: Lasting Memories of Kenya

On our last morning, we ate breakfast by the ocean, sad to leave Alfajiri. A quick flight to Wilson Airport and a drive to Jomo Kenyatta ended our Kenyan safari and beach journey. Still, we took more than just memories. This 12 nights in kenya trip mixed wild safaris with beach calm perfectly. In the end, the holidays in Kenya wasn’t just a vacation—it changed us. Now, we dream of Kenya’s magic again.
