Arusha, Singita Grumeti Reserves (Serengeti), Chyulu Hills, Nairobi, Mahe Island, North Island

This tour combines East Africa’s most luxurious safari accommodations with time at two of the finest island resorts in the tropical paradise of Seychelles. We can arrange internal charter flights upon request, as well as special experiences such as hot-air balloon rides or horseback safaris.

Begin with an overnight stay at a luxury lodge near Arusha, an area of lush, mountainous landscapes, Maasai settlements and coffee plantations. Next, fly to Singita Grumeti Reserves, a private game concession at the edge of Serengeti National Park, for a five-night luxury safari experience. The area is known for its abundant wildlife—including elephants, leopards and plentiful lions—as well as its ideal location, which offers prime opportunities to view the annual great wildebeest migration. Spend three nights in an ultra-luxurious safari lodge, followed by two nights in East Africa’s most luxurious tented camp. Enjoy spectacular game drives—Grumeti Reserves’ status as a private concession means you will be able to view wildlife unfettered and without crowds. If desired, also enjoy walking and night-time safaris, as well as game drives into neighboring Serengeti National Park. You will also have plenty of time to indulge in spa treatments, play tennis, swim, and enjoy delicious gourmet meals.

Continue to Chyulu Hills National Park, located on a volcanic mountain range in southeastern Kenya. Chyulu Hills is known for the great beauty of its landscape, as well as its spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Game sighting opportunities are plentiful—it is located in the path of seasonal elephant migrations, and is home to a variety of species, including the Big Five. Stay in a small luxury lodge in the hills and enjoy daily game drives, walking safaris, horseback riding, mountain biking and night drives. Other activities may also be arranged, including visits to local villages, excursions to nearby Amboseli National Park, or a scenic flight around Kilimanjaro. One experience that should not be missed is sleeping outside on your own private rooftop “star bed,” and waking up to the majestic sight of Mount Kilimanjaro as the sun rises.

Spend one night in Nairobi, Kenya’s bustling capital city. Relax after your long flight in the comfort of one of the city’s best hotels, or enjoy private touring of Nairobi’s highlights. Perhaps visit the Sheldrick elephant orphanage, which is run by a charitable organization that helps save the lives of orphaned elephants and rhinos and is active in community outreach and anti-poaching programs. Another highlight is visiting Nairobi National Park to go on a game drive or safari walk. Other options include the Giraffe Centre, a sanctuary where visitors may learn about and feed endangered Rothschild giraffes; visiting local arts and crafts galleries and museums; or participating in various philanthropic activities.

Conclude your tour in Seychelles, an archipelago of beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean. On arrival on the island of Mahe, you’ll be met and assisted through immigration, and then transferred by private vehicle to Four Seasons Resort Seychelles. During ample leisure time, relax on white sand beaches, enjoy the resort’s spa and other facilities, and perhaps go swimming, snorkeling or kayaking in the clear blue water. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange many additional activities such as scuba diving, fishing and sailing. Transfer by helicopter to North Island, a renowned luxury resort on its own private island in Seychelles. Relax in your thatch-roofed villa, go for a dip in your private pool or opt for treatments at the resort spa. Experience the tropical beauty of the island’s white sand beaches, rock outcroppings, and palm and takamaka trees. Enjoy the resort’s many complimentary activities, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking, mountain biking, nature walks, beach fishing, sunset cruises, learning about local sea turtles and giant tortoises, and more. In addition, Artisans of Leisure can arrange private boat charters, scenic helicopter flights, private picnics on secluded beaches, and other activities upon request.
