Day 1 (Dec 30): Nairobi Road Trip, Coastal Arrival & Creek-Side Welcome

Depart Nairobi in the early morning aboard your private coaster bus. Enjoy scenic highway views passing through Tsavo's red-earth landscapes before descending to the tropical warmth of the coast.

Arrive at Villa La Marina in Mtwapa by late afternoon. Your host welcomes you with chilled fresh coconuts (madafu) and a chef-prepared welcome dinner overlooking the tranquil creek.

Day 2 (Dec 31): Mombasa Old Town Tour & New Year's Eve Celebration

Fuel up with a tropical villa breakfast before taking our private guided morning tour of Mombasa Island. Walk through historic Fort Jesus, admire intricate Swahili carved doors in Old Town, and take squad photos at the iconic Elephant Tusks on Moi Avenue.

After lunch back at the villa, prep for the evening. The villa comes alive with our resident DJ spinning private sets as you celebrate the midnight countdown surrounded by your closest friends.

Day 3 (Jan 1): Recovery Brunch, Creek Exploration & Sunset Cocktails

Sleep in without rush. Your private chef serves a late recovery brunch with fresh juices, pastries, and savory coastal specials. Spend the afternoon swimming, lounging, or hopping onto a boat to explore Mtwapa Creek's mangrove waterways.

In the evening, celebrate the first sunset of the New Year with a poolside seafood barbecue under the palms.

Day 4 (Jan 2): Morning Swim & Private Coaster Return to Nairobi

Take one final dip in the pool and enjoy breakfast on the terrace before boarding your private coaster bus for the relaxed return journey to Nairobi, refreshed and ready for the year ahead.
