A Bush & Beach Journey · Ready to Book
Kenya and
Seychelles
Savannah mornings and turquoise afternoons — a journey that balances wilderness with the calm of the Indian Ocean.
Savannah mornings and turquoise afternoons — a journey that balances wilderness with the calm of the Indian Ocean.
This is the journey for travellers who want both the drama of the African bush and the calm of an Indian Ocean island — and refuse to compromise on either. Begin with a soft landing at Hemingways Nairobi in leafy Karen, then fly west to Angama Mara, suspended a thousand feet above the Mara Triangle.
For three nights you wake to glass-walled views of the Great Rift Valley, descend into one of Africa's finest game-viewing ecosystems, and return for sundowners on the escarpment as hot-air balloons drift across the plains below.
Then the rhythm shifts. Fly via Nairobi to Mahé, where Four Seasons Resort Seychelles unfolds across a forested hillside above one of the island's most beautiful bays. Tree-house villas with infinity pools, a horseshoe of powder-white sand, granite boulders the colour of warm pewter — the bush quiets into the rinse of the Indian Ocean.
Why we love this journey — it is the bush-and-beach pairing done properly. Angama Mara delivers world-class guiding and views that have been called the finest in Kenya; Four Seasons Seychelles offers the kind of villa privacy and ocean access that only a handful of resorts in the world can match. Every flight, transfer, and connection is held by Ongeri's concierge. You arrive, and we take it from there.
Hemingways Nairobi — Sweeping views of the Ngong Hills and interiors that reflect the grace of Kenya's heritage — timeless hospitality with thoughtful design.
Angama Mara — Suspended a thousand feet above the floor of the Great Rift Valley, overlooking the Mara Triangle.

Fly-in throughout — flawless light-aircraft connections. No long road hauls. Every moment savoured.
Masterful guiding — gourmet cuisine, curated cellars, and concierge care from first transfer to final farewell.
You are met on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred privately to Hemingways Nairobi. Settle into your suite, take a leisurely lunch on the brasserie terrace, and let the gardens do their work. An early night is recommended — the Mara begins early.
A 45-minute light-aircraft flight to the Mara, where your guide is waiting at the airstrip. Three nights at Angama Mara, perched on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment with the Mara Triangle stretched a thousand feet below. Days are tailored — full-day game drives, walking safaris with Maasai naturalists, an optional sunrise balloon flight with bush breakfast, and the famous Out of Africa kopje picnic for two.
A final morning game drive, breakfast on the deck, and a late-morning flight to Nairobi. Day-room access at Hemingways, then transfer to JKIA for your evening flight to Seychelles. On arrival you are met landside and transferred to Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Petite Anse — about an hour by road across the island's lush, granite-spined interior.
Slow mornings on your villa's wraparound deck, breakfast floating on the infinity pool, and afternoons that go wherever the day takes you. Snorkel the reef just off Petite Anse, take a marine-biology-led conservation walk, or charter a private boat to nearby islands. The hilltop Le Syel Spa is a destination in its own right; dinners alternate between ZEZ on the hilltop and Kannel by the beach.
A final morning on the beach, a long breakfast, and a private transfer to Seychelles International Airport for your onward flight.
Sweeping views of the Ngong Hills and interiors that reflect the grace of Kenya's heritage — timeless hospitality with thoughtful design.
Suspended a thousand feet above the floor of the Great Rift Valley, overlooking the Mara Triangle.
