Safari & Surf

The Masai Mara. Then the Indian Ocean. The classic Kenya sequence — and the one that most visitors imagine when they picture an East Africa holiday.

The Masai Mara. Then the Indian Ocean. The classic Kenya sequence — and the one that most visitors imagine when they picture an East Africa holiday. The challenge is always execution: juggling two different operators, two sets of logistics, two booking systems.

Edgar solves that. He handles the seamless transfer from the Mara airstrip to Mombasa, the Likoni ferry crossing south to Diani, and the moment you step onto the beach with cold drinks in hand. No gaps. No complications. Just the intensity of predator country followed by the total release of the Indian Ocean.
