Overview
The 18 Days Maasai Mara, Bwindi Gorilla Trek & Zanzibar Beach is a 18-day safari through Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Bwindi (Uganda), Serengeti & Zanzibar, designed and operated by Saringi Tours. Based in Nairobi and women-led, Saringi has been building private African itineraries since 2018. This route takes in Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Zanzibar and 1 more protected areas, with each day sequenced to put you in the right place at the right time for wildlife.
Bush and beach is one of East Africa's most satisfying combinations, and this 18-day itinerary gets the balance right: proper wildlife days in prime game country, then a coastal or island stay to wind down. Transfers, accommodation, and logistics are all managed by the Saringi team in Nairobi. Dates, lodge category, and duration can be adjusted to suit your schedule.
Trip Highlights
Giraffe Manor: the world's most photographed hotel, feeding giraffes from the breakfast table
Four nights in the Maasai Mara including a sunrise hot-air balloon safari
Zanzibar: five nights all-inclusive on the Indian Ocean's most beautiful island
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Arrive in Nairobi and be met by your Saringi Tours representative for transfer to the legendary Giraffe Manor in the Karen suburb: the world's most celebrated boutique hotel, where endangered Rothschild giraffes roam freely through the ivy-covered grounds and push their elegant heads through the dining-room windows at breakfast. Settle into this unique property and enjoy the extraordinary atmosphere.

I had an absolutely wonderful time in Kenya, all thanks to Millcent / Saringi Travel. From the incredibly friendly and reliable communication, to the flexible and thoughtful travel planning, all the way to the outstanding care on the ground, everything was simply perfect. I always felt well taken care of and in the best hands. What impressed me most was not only their professionalism, but also the sheer beauty of the entire experience. I'm still completely in awe!
