Rui Unas Safari

2022-05-18

If you can’t miss a single story in our Instagram, you already know that in April portuguese Celebrity Rui Unas and his family embarked on the journey of a lifetime with us.
It was a ten-day experience that perfectly combined 6 days of safari adventure and 4 days in Kenya coastline.

They started in the fantastic Amboseli National Park, also known as the "Land of Giants", where the elephant sightings are outstanding and Kilimanjaro in the background is the final wow factor.
Being bird lovers, they couldn't miss Lake Naivasha for a unique boat ride and astonishing wildlife observation. 
It was finally time to visit Kenya’s crown jewel -  the one and only Maasai Mara National Reserve - the land blessed with open terrain that makes game viewing easy throughout the year. The only park where you can be lucky enough and find the Big 5 in a single morning. Also, an incredible place to go on a hot-balloon safari experience..and of course Unas family couldn't miss it either! 

 

And then paradise...Diani Beach
Picture soft white sands, lush greenery and traditional dhows navigating. One of the most developed towns on the Kenyan coast, where you can find many restaurants, cafés, bars and shops. Horse riding, kite-surfing and tours to the ancient Kaya Forest are some of the activities you can take.  

As Rui Unas prepared to leave Kenya, strong emotions came out: intense trip, surprising and wonderful. Kind people, delicious food, incredible landscapes. It will forever remain in our memories.
