Emerald Cruises – Luxury Yacht Cruises
Emerald’s boutique yachts are small enough to anchor where bigger ships can’t, but spacious enough for all 128 guests to feel like they’ve got plenty of room to spare on board. The service is second to none and every crew member is there to make sure you have the voyage of a lifetime. One of our favourite places on board is the Marina Platform where you can make the most of all the aqua toys in some of the world’s most scenic spots.\

Welcome to Kenya and our classic seven-day Governors’ Safari.

Days 2 to 3

Lake Naivasha, Kenya

The first stop is Loldia House, an original farmhouse on a private 6,500-acre farm. It couldn’t be better placed to see the surrounding lakes, mountains and wildlife if it tried. You’ll head over to Lake Nakuru on a full-day included trip. Pure safari bliss.

Days 4 to 6

Maasai Mara, Kenya

Hop by air over to the Musiara airstrip, the gateway to the iconic Governors’ Camp. The Maasai Mara is Big Five central and over the next couple of days, you’ll head out on multiple game drives to tick as many of them off as possible. To metaphorically and literally elevate your holiday even more, go for an optional Maasai Mara hot-air balloon safari.

Day 9

Day 11

Curieuse, Seychelles

The bijou Curieuse and its 300-strong population of Aldabra tortoises are the focus today.

Day 12

Aride, Seychelles

Sitting out to the north of its fellow granite islands, this petite island is one for the birders and nature lovers. Its pristine state is a testament to the positives of low-impact tourism – you can only visit on a guided tour, following the mile and a half walking trail.

Days 13 to 14

Mahé, Seychelles

It’s time to head back to Mahé, but you’ve still got a full day for urban explorations in the capital Victoria or jungle wanders in Morne Seychellois National Park.

Mahé beach stay, Seychelles

It’s a short trip from the port to your beaut of beach retreat, Constance Ephelia Seychelles.

Day 18
