The Journey

A safari that ends with your feet in the ocean.

This proposal is a Heritage Trail Safaris branded rewrite based on the structure of a classic Kenya itinerary — refined for travellers who want both the drama of the Mara and the stillness of the coast.

You will move from the highlands of Nairobi to the soda lakes of the Rift, across the golden plains of the Maasai Mara, and finally down to the white sands of Diani. Every transfer, camp and experience is chosen to match the pace you want to travel at.
