06 / A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Good questions.

What makes the packages different?

Shared Journey uses shared accommodation and excludes domestic flights. Private Journey provides a private room, while Couples Experience covers two travelers sharing a room. Domestic Nairobi–Lamu flights are included in the proposed Private and Couples packages.

What does the $300 flight estimate cover?

The Shared Journey domestic flight estimate is provisional. Round-trip coverage, baggage and booking fees have not been confirmed, so it is not a guaranteed total.

Where is the day-by-day itinerary?

The visual day-by-day flow is an editorial draft based on the planned Nairobi-to-Lamu route. It is not an approved operating schedule; the team will confirm the city/coast split, visits and suppliers before bookings open.
