The route

Where you go, and why

Stop 014 nights

Nairobi — Hemingways Hotel

Settle into a luxury suite at Hemingways in the leafy Karen suburbs and meet Nairobi's beautifully kept secret: world-class golf a mile above the sea. Play Muthaiga Golf Club — the 1913 home of Kenyan golf — Karen Country Club beneath the Ngong Hills, and the championship parkland of the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, each with a dedicated caddie. Between rounds, cradle an orphaned elephant calf's trunk at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and feed giraffes by hand at the Giraffe Centre.

The Maasai Mara — Heritage Mara Lodge

Fly into the great savanna and check into a luxury tent. The Mara delivers Africa's densest big-cat viewing — lion, leopard and cheetah against an endless gold horizon — with Maasai guides whose eyes find what cameras miss.

STAY  Heritage Mara Lodge

Stop 032 nights

Amboseli National Park — Serena Lodge

South to Amboseli, where great elephant herds march beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro — the most iconic photograph in Africa, available daily at dawn from your lodge.

STAY  Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge

Stop 044 nights

The Mombasa coast — Sarova Whitesands

Finish barefoot on the Indian Ocean with sea-facing rooms on Mombasa's white sand. Two coastal crackers complete the card: Nyali Golf Club's breezy classic, and Vipingo Ridge Golf Resort — Africa's only PGA-accredited course and host of the Magical Kenya Ladies Open, its fairways running high above a turquoise sea.

STAY  Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa

Good questions

Asked before you booked

How much does Golf, Safari, Beach & More cost?

This journey is priced on request because seasonality moves the numbers meaningfully. For an exact figure, use the Price a Private Version tool — adjust the nights, rounds and experiences and our quoting engine returns your private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.

How many rounds of golf are on this journey?

5 rounds are built in — Muthaiga Golf Club, Karen Country Club, Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, Nyali Golf Club and more. Every round can be kept, swapped or dropped when you price your private version.

Can my non-golfing partner come?

Absolutely — this is the heart of how we design. While the golfers play, the Gallery programme runs parallel experiences (game drives, spas, wine, walks, markets), and everyone reunites for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.

When is the best time to take this journey?

Best months are Year-round — we'll time it to the seasons. We will be honest about the trade-offs of any month you are considering — every season has its version of this trip.

Where will we stay?

Exact, named properties at every stop — on this journey: Hemingways Nairobi, Heritage Mara Lodge, Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa. Every property is hand-picked from our register; none paid for, none reciprocated.

Do I need a visa for Kenya?

Kenya uses a simple online eTA (electronic travel authorisation) which most nationalities complete in minutes before travel. We send you the link and walk you through it at booking.

When is the wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara?

The great herds are usually in the Mara from July to October, with the famous river crossings most likely August and September. If the migration is your priority, tell us — we will set the dates around it and be honest about what each month usually delivers.

Do I need malaria tablets and a yellow fever certificate?

Malaria prophylaxis is advised for the Mara, Amboseli and the coast — Nairobi itself is low-risk. A yellow fever certificate is only required if you arrive from certain countries; we confirm exactly what your routing needs at booking.

Tell us how you want to feel when you come home.

We'll build the wild, and the golf, around that — and nothing else.
