After an early breakfast that energizes our spirits, we embark on our journey to the train station, anticipating the breath taking vistas en-route to Voi. Enthralled by the possibility of spotting majestic elephants and graceful giraffes on the grasslands, our excitement reaches new heights. Upon reaching Voi, the vibrant team of The Hildana Lodge welcomes us with open arms, igniting our anticipation for the adventures ahead.

Nestled at the base of the awe-inspiring Taita Hills, The Hildana Lodge awaits. A gem within the expansive Tsavo region, ensconced in a 5000-acre private sanctuary. This intimate haven offers encounters with the wildlife inhabiting the Tsavo elephant corridor. It’s a sanctuary of tranquillity, a lavish retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, inviting us to find solace in the heart of the African wilderness.

Following a delicious lunch at the lodge, we embark on our first game drive through the sanctuary’s untamed terrain, eager to witness its inhabitants in their natural splendour – Hildana is home to elephants, giraffes, antelope, zebra, warthog, lion and leopard as well as much birdlife. 

A yoga session overlooking a waterhole, rejuvenation after our journey and preparing us for an evening of enchantment. Imagine savouring your favourite beverage as you gaze upon elephants quenching their thirst at the waterhole, a scene of pure magic unfolding before our eyes.

As the day draws to a close, we gather for a divine dinner served with the utmost care and attention, a perfect conclusion to a day brimming with adventure and wonder.

Today marks the beginning of a real adventure. We start with an early morning yoga session, before an adventure-packed full-day safari as we head to Tsavo East National Park.

Tsavo East beckons with its storied landscapes and teeming wildlife. As we venture into its wild embrace, we’re greeted by a breath taking panorama of expansive plains and rugged terrain, a playground for some of Africa’s most iconic creatures. From the majestic dust-red elephants, the elusive leopard, the graceful giraffe – Keep your camera ready, for every turn of the trail may reveal a new wonder waiting to be captured in a single frame.

Pause by a watering hole, where a symphony of life unfolds before your eyes – elephants, zebra and antelope as they quench their thirst. And overhead, a kaleidoscope of birds takes flight, their vibrant plumage a splash of colour against the canvas of the sky.

 As the day unfolds, our senses are heightened with each sighting, from the thundering hooves of stampeding buffalo to the spine-tingling roar of a lioness claiming her territory. With every turn of the safari vehicle, we’re transported deeper into the heart of the wilderness, where adventure lurks around every corner and the unexpected awaits at every bend.

But the excitement doesn’t end there. Come late afternoon, we embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the Sheldrick’s Voi Stockade rehabilitation unit. Stockdales is often the next step in an orphaned elephant’s journey as their journey begins to become wild elephants again but with the guidance if their inspiring keepers. 

As we stand watching the orphaned elephants being bottle fed, their playful antics and heart warming stories fill us with a sense of wonder and awe, reminding us of the resilience of nature and the power of conservation.

And as the sun sets on another unforgettable day, we gather together to share stories and laughter, grateful for the memories we’ve created and the bonds we’ve forged amidst the beauty of the African wilderness.

With hearts full from a nourishing breakfast and farewells exchanged, our journey moves on leading us on a captivating odyssey through the untamed wilderness of Tsavo East in search of more wildlife. Zebra, giraffe, baboons, elephants, lions, hippo, antelope, leopard, the list goes on. Nothing is guaranteed but all are a possibility – every moment promises heart-pounding encounters and awe-inspiring sights.

In the hush of the afternoon, we arrive in Watamu on Kenya’s coast. Greeted by the majestic silhouette of the Watamu Treehouse which will totally blow you away. A sanctuary poised on the cusp of Kenya’s coastal paradise, where azure waters caress ivory sands, and the whispers of the mangrove estuary beckon. Here, Watamu Treehouse offers a panoramic vista of wilderness unfurled.

Spend the late afternoon settling in before coming together for our first yoga session by the sea. 

In the evening we will be indulging on some delicious food together.
