Experience the magic of a Kenya sundowner safari, where every evening is a celebration of golden skies, sweeping savannahs, and unforgettable moments shared with loved ones. This 9-day luxury safari combines the Chyulu Hills, Loisaba Conservancy, and the world-famous Masai Mara, with each destination offering its own unique star-bed experience. By day, embark on game drives, walking safaris, horseback rides, and cultural encounters. By night, sip cocktails at breathtaking viewpoints before drifting to sleep under the stars on open-air decks or private rooftop platforms.

Perfect for romantic couples seeking intimate moments and families looking to create lifelong memories, this safari blends luxury lodges, immersive wilderness adventures, and Africa’s most timeless ritual: the sundowner.

Day 1 – Arrival in the Chyulu Hills

Your adventure begins with a flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport to the Chyulu Hills airstrip. As you arrive, a short game drive escorts you to ol Donyo Lodge, where each suite is crowned with a private rooftop star-bed. Families will find comfort in spacious villas with plunge pools, while couples may retreat to intimate suites designed for privacy and romance.

The afternoon offers gentle introductions to the wilderness—a guided walk through volcanic landscapes or perhaps a horseback ride alongside giraffes. As the sun lowers, you are guided to a scenic lookout where your first Kenya sundowner unfolds: cocktails and canapés against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro glowing pink in the evening light. Dinner follows back at the lodge, with the option to drift off to sleep under the stars.

Day 2 – Discovering the Chyulus

The day begins with a game drive or guided walk through the lava fields and grassy plains, where elephants gather near hidden waterholes. Families may enjoy time at the photo hide, a thrilling chance to watch wildlife up-close without being seen. Couples might prefer lounging in private plunge pools, sipping wine as the hills stretch endlessly ahead.

In the afternoon, take part in conservation talks or try a cycling safari through the hills. As the light softens, your sundowner is set near a volcanic ridge, lanterns flickering as the savannah stretches beneath you. Dinner is elegantly paired with South African wines, bringing together flavors as rich as the scenery.

Day 3 – Starry Adventures

Wake early for a horseback safari or a traditional game drive tracking lion pawprints across the plains. Those seeking cultural connection can visit a Maasai homestead, an enriching encounter for both children and adults.

The afternoon slows into a leisurely game drive ending at a ridge with sweeping views of Amboseli and Kilimanjaro. Here, your signature sundowner awaits—champagne flutes clinking as the sky burns gold and crimson. Tonight, let the wilderness embrace you as you sleep outdoors on your star-bed, the constellations your ceiling.

Day 4 – Onward to Loisaba Conservancy

After breakfast, board a charter flight to Laikipia’s Loisaba Conservancy, arriving at the enchanting Loisaba Star Beds. Perched above a valley, each handcrafted bed is rolled out onto a deck for unrivalled nights beneath the stars. Families will find joy in adventurous activities unique to Loisaba, while couples will savor the romance of absolute seclusion.

The afternoon introduces you to Loisaba’s remarkable wildlife—lion, elephant, and the elusive African wild dog—before sundowners on a rocky kopje overlooking the endless Laikipia plateau. Dinner is followed by stargazing from your four-poster bed.

Day 5 – Loisaba Adventures

The morning invites you to choose your adventure: camel trekking across the savannah, horseback riding alongside zebra, or a traditional game drive. Families can delight in guided bush walks with Samburu trackers, learning survival skills and discovering how local traditions intertwine with the land.

As the sun fades, the bush transforms into a theater of color. Your sundowner is served in the wilderness, accompanied by Samburu storytelling and the call of distant wildlife. Couples may linger over gin and tonics, while children marvel at the fire-orange skies. Another magical night awaits beneath the Milky Way.

Day 6 – Into the Masai Mara

Depart Loisaba for the legendary Masai Mara, flying into the Mara Triangle where the rolling plains unfold in spectacular beauty. Your destination is Angama Mara, dramatically perched on the Oloololo Escarpment.

That afternoon, a game drive brings you face to face with the Mara’s abundant wildlife—elephants, giraffes, and, if lucky, one of the big cats the Mara is so famous for. As evening falls, return to the lodge’s Sundowner Boma, where a Maasai dance and storytelling session by the fire complete your introduction to this iconic reserve.

Day 7 – A Day in the Wild

This morning, couples may choose to float over the Mara in a hot air balloon, ending with a champagne bush breakfast, while families can opt for a full-day game drive complete with a picnic lunch along the Mara River. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, and vast herds of wildebeest paint the day with excitement.

As dusk approaches, pause along the escarpment for a sundowner, watching the Mara turn golden as hippos snort in the river below. Dinner is served back at Angama, a fitting close to a day of extraordinary encounters.

Day 8 – Magic on the Escarpment

This morning’s game drive focuses on the big cats—lion prides lazing in the grass, cheetahs scanning for prey, leopards resting in acacia branches. Couples can retreat midday to glass-fronted suites, while families may enjoy a storytelling session with Maasai naturalists.

Later, embark on a walking safari along the escarpment, led by Maasai guides. Your final sundowner is staged at the cliff’s edge: a private toast as the plains roll endlessly beneath you, a moment made for honeymooners, anniversary celebrations, or a family’s once-in-a-lifetime memory. A candlelit farewell dinner completes your stay.

Day 9 – Farewell to the Mara

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at Angama Mara before a short drive or photography session on the lodge’s deck. Depending on flight schedules, there may be time for a final game drive before boarding your flight back to Nairobi Wilson, where your onward journey begins.
