Coastal

The Indian Ocean, unhurried. Often the last chapter of a longer journey.

With Africa Keys

After days of early starts, the coast is where a journey slows down. White sand, warm water, fresh fish and nothing that has to happen before lunch.

Kenya’s coast is a short flight from the Mara. Zanzibar follows naturally from the Serengeti. Mauritius and Madagascar are journeys in their own right.

From the Masai Mara, truly magnificent and magical, to spectacular Diani and superb shopping in Nairobi, everything was perfect. Samuel was really kind, helpful and considerate.
