Resident Plan Details

Six nights, two entirely different Kenyas, and one seamless handoff between them. I built this specifically for the people who tell me every year that they want a safari and a beach holiday but never have time to actually book both, because normally that means two separate operators, two separate sets of logistics, and a real gap in the middle where things go wrong: missed connections, unclear transfer arrangements, a day lost figuring out how to actually get from the bush to the coast. Here, both legs sit under the same supplier group, Neptune, which means the transfer between them is arranged end to end rather than left for you to solve. You open with three nights at Neptune Mara Rianta during peak migration season, which is not a marketing phrase, it is a specific, narrow window when the wildebeest and zebra herds are actually moving through in the numbers that make the Mara famous, with the predator activity that follows them. Twice-daily game drives across those three days give you real odds at seeing a crossing, not just the aftermath. Then the trip shifts entirely. Three nights at Neptune Palm Beach on the Diani coast, full board, with the single hardest decision of the second half being which pool chair to take. The contrast is the whole point: red earth and open plains giving way to white sand and turquoise water, in one uninterrupted week with nothing left for you to coordinate. This is genuinely my favourite package in the entire resident catalogue, the one I would book for my own family without hesitation, and it photographs itself the whole way through.
