Masai Mara & Seychelles Safari-and-Beach
The Big Cats of the Mara, Then the Granite Beaches of the Seychelles
Overview
This is the classic bush-and-beach honeymoon, refined to perfection. You begin in Kenya's legendary Masai Mara — arguably the finest big-cat country on Earth — where lion prides, cheetah on the termite mounds and leopard in the riverine forest are daily companions, and where, from July, the Great Migration thunders across the Mara River. Then you fly east to the Seychelles, an archipelago of granite islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, for barefoot days on Anse Source d'Argent and Anse Lazio, two of the most photographed beaches in the world.
The pairing works because it balances everything a safari lacks. After early starts and dusty game drives, the Seychelles offers late lie-ins, warm turquoise shallows, snorkelling over coral gardens and nothing more strenuous than choosing which beach to walk. Praslin and La Digue are a short hop apart, so you can island-hop by ferry, visit the primeval Vallée de Mai palm forest, and end each day with a sundowner as the granite boulders turn rose-gold.
Who It's For
Made for honeymooners and couples who want the drama of a world-class safari and the serenity of an island escape in a single trip. Equally rewarding for milestone anniversaries and small families wanting both wildlife and beach time.
