— Overview —

The signature Solana journey — from the Mara plains to the Indian Ocean.

Begin under the wide acacia skies of the Mara, where leopards drape themselves over fig branches and the migration thunders through the river crossings. Then descend, by light aircraft, to the warm Swahili coast — where dhows still sail at dusk and the reef glows beneath you at low tide.

  • Private tented camp in the Mara Triangle, with TRA-licensed lead guide
  • Sunrise game drives and a Maasai cultural afternoon
  • Light-aircraft transfer Mara → Diani via Wilson
  • Beachfront villa with private chef and butler
  • Dhow sail at sunset with chilled Tusker and bitings
