Conservation & Community Journey

  • Eden Residence | Ol Seki Mara | Watamu
  • Kenya’s pioneering community-led conservation areas
  • 7-Night

An immersive Kenyan journey that blends art and culture in Nairobi, thrilling safaris in the Mara, and coastal serenity in Watamu, celebrating wildlife, conservation, and authentic local experiences throughout.

Day 1 - 2

Hemingways Eden Residence, Karen, Nairobi, Kenya

Your journey begins in leafy Karen at Hemingways Eden Residence, a tranquil artists’ retreat tucked between forest and gallery walls. Settle into your forest-view suite and explore Eden Residence’s private collection of contemporary Rwandan and East African art. Visit Kazuri Beads to see local women crafting ceramics by hand, then spend the afternoon feeding giraffes at the Giraffe Centre or meeting orphaned elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Evenings invite quiet reflection on the veranda, with locally sourced dining and the sounds of nature all around.

Day 3 - 5

Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, Naboisho Conservancy, Maasai Mara, Kenya

Fly into the golden plains of Naboisho Conservancy, where your private tented suite awaits at Hemingways Ol Seki Mara. From the moment you arrive, wildlife surrounds you, lion prides, cheetahs, elephants, and giraffe. Beyond extraordinary game drives, this is where conservation comes alive. Visit community-run schools and learn from Maasai guides about poaching prevention, rewilding successes, and the delicate balance of people and planet. By night, share stories around the fire under a sky full of stars.

Day 6 - 7

Hemingways Watamu, North Coast, Kenya

Trade the savannah for the sea as you arrive at Hemingways Watamu, a breezy retreat on Kenya’s unspoiled north coast. Nestled within the Watamu Marine National Park, this coastal sanctuary invites you to slow down and soak in the rhythm of the ocean. Paddle the mangrove-lined waters of Mida Creek, witness conservation in action as you release rehabilitated sea turtles with Watamu Turtle Watch, or explore vibrant coral gardens just offshore. Between adventures, unwind with spa rituals, stroll the shoreline hand-in-hand, and toast to the moment with candlelit dinners beneath swaying palms.

Day 8

Departure

Enjoy a gentle paddle or a final walk on the beach before a farewell breakfast on the terrace. Depart with a renewed connection to nature and a lasting appreciation for Kenya’s conservation legacy.
