Kenya Walking & Luxury Safari Wellness Retreat

The trip runs for 12 nights, beginning in Nairobi where the group meets before transferring out towards the Maasai Mara. The Mara section is the core of the holiday: you'll do game drives in the early morning and late afternoon when wildlife is most active, plus guided walking safaris with a trained ranger who reads tracks and explains what you're looking at. Walking in the Mara is different from a vehicle — you cover less ground but notice far more.

Accommodation throughout is boutique lodges and tented camps rather than large hotels. Expect canvas tents with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms and hot water, plus main areas with a fire, a bar and space to eat together as a group. Meals are included and are a mix of international cooking and East African dishes — grilled meats, curries, fresh fruit, vegetables grown locally.

Yoga runs alongside the safari programme rather than as the main event. Sessions are scheduled in the mornings before drives and sometimes in the evening, held on decks or lawns depending on where you're staying. They're led by an instructor travelling with the group, and they're suitable for all levels — beginners are genuinely welcome. The yoga is there to loosen you up after long days in a vehicle and on your feet.

The second half moves to the Kenyan coast for rest. This is a change of pace: swimming, beach time, and optional yoga sessions, with no fixed game-drive schedule. Some guests use this part of the trip to recover, others to keep walking along the shoreline.

What separates this from a standard safari is the combination: guided hikes rather than drive-only days, a 12-night length that lets you settle in rather than rushing between parks, and the coastal finish. It's an active holiday with luxury built in, not a fitness bootcamp in a tent.
