This trip has been designed and customized specifically for the fans of IF ELFSBORG and by extension ALLSVENSKAN football fans courtesy of Timothy Ouma, our brand ambassador, having represented IF ELFSBORG where he was welcomed and treated warmly by the fans. We feel that not enough Swedish citizens visit Kenya and it is our purpose to change this narrative and welcome you to this marvelous holiday destination. With over 300 days of sunshine guaranteed yearly, spectacular white sandy beaches, delectable food and a visit to the world's best game reserve, you guys are in for an absolutely surreal experience different from what most Swedes are used to while on vacation!

There are only 30 slots for this Safari starting from December 1st to December 10th and slots will be issued on a first come first served basis. The deadline for registration is November 1st.

 

Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi where our guests will be transferred to the Trademark Hotel to relax and acclimatise to their new surroundings.

Day 2: Our guests will enjoy a slow morning city Safari at Nairobi National Park for an introductory city safari before moving on to the nearby Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage to meet orphaned elephant calves (they were orphaned courtesy of loosing their loved ones to poachers, getting lost from the herd or death to their parent(s) caused by other wild animals then while here are nursed here to maturity before being reintroduced back into the wild having much better chances of survival as grown ups) as well as the nearby Giraffe Center to meet and feed the endangered Rothschild giraffes followed by lunch in Karen at one of the best restaurants in Nairobi at CULTIVA and get to close out the day with a with a visit to the Karen Blixen Museum.

Day 3: We will depart from the hotel at 7am (after breakfast) for the Maasai Mara on a scenic 6 hour road trip where upon arrival our guests will get to refresh at the AA Lodge, take lunch and have a dip in the pool to cool down before embarking on a slow safari in the world's greatest game sanctuary!

Day 4: We will have an early morning game drive to spot the big five followed by a visit to a Masai Village for a cultural immersion experience to see how this storied tribe has held onto their Millenia old traditions and lifestyle into the age of iPhones and Space exploration before driving back to Camp for lunch. While here, you will be taught how to light a fire using sticks, dry grass and cow dung! 

Day 5: Early morning pick-up (4am) for a scenic and heart stirring balloon ride over the Masai Mara plains watching Lions feast on a wildebeest or buffalo from last night's hunting followed by a Champagne breakfast inside the Masai Mara(think feasting on sausages, bacon, fried eggs, toasted bread and some coffee) while watching herds of wildebeests within safe distance. This will be followed by a comprehensive game drive to see what the Mara has in store for us! Maybe a cheetah chasing an antelope or some male Lions fighting for dominance over a pride?

Day 6: At 9am, we will depart camp for the Airstrip where we will board a plane for an hour's flight to Malindi Airport to our most favorite destination in Kenya, WATAMU! Watamu means "the sweet ones" in direct translation to English (and you are about to find out) Watamu is a coastal paradise with turquoise waters and white sandy beaches just as good, if not better than the Maldives! We will transfer our guests to the Temple Point Resort where they will check in, have lunch and relax before moving to the nearby beach bar to watch the sun set with some drinks in hand, bitings to snack on and music to dance to.

Day 7: We will leave the hotel at 10am on Tuk-Tuk's for the Watamu Snake Farm where we will get to see all the reptiles on display at the farm, watch a venom extraction exercise and be taught on the role that horses play in the development of Snake anti-venom before leaving for Gedi ruins, an ancient Arabic civilisation founded in the 11th Century (built over 200 years before Machu Picchu) and deserted by the 17th century courtesy of the Portuguese landing in nearby Malindi. This tour will be led by our Coastal Region Head Guide Ainsworth who is an expert on East Africa's coastal region. If lucky, we might get to meet the friendly resident monkeys before heading back to the hotel for lunch. After lunch, we will head to the beach to play some football before embarking on a sunset dhow ride at 4pm where we will watch the sun set on the Indian Ocean, while enjoying some food, drinks and bonding over stories. You guys will be asking yourselves why you didn't book your trip to Kenya sooner!

Day 8: After breakfast, we will leave for the beach where Captain Ali will be waiting to take us on a Marine Park tour where we will get to snorkel and swim with the rich marine life found at the Marine Park before heading to Watamu Turtle watch to see the wonderful work the local community plays in the protection and conservation of the endangered sea turtles caught by the local Fishermen's nets and are treated before being released back into the Ocean. Afterwards we will head to the hotel for lunch.

Day 9: On this day our guests we will head on out for tubing and Stand-Up-Paddling with dolphins (a Magical Kenya Signature Experience) and you will be free to spend the rest of your day as you so wish, maybe take a nap? head out to the gym? stroll and lounge on the beach barefoot? The choice is all yours.

Day 10: We will pick up our guests and transfer them to the Malindi Airport for a flight to Nairobi for the return trip back home.
