Experience the perfect blend of thrilling African safaris and idyllic coastal bliss. Begin with close-up encounters with the Big Five in Kenya’s top wildlife destinations, from the predator rich Maasai Mara to the rhino sanctuary of Ol Pejeta and the elephant herds of Amboseli. Then, trade your game drives for gentle sea breezes and golden sunsets on Diani’s award-winning beaches. This is where the roar of the lion meets the whisper of the waves.
Your journey begins as you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. A smiling representative will greet you with a traditional “Karibu Kenya” (Welcome to Kenya) and a refreshing drink. Transfer to your luxury Nairobi hotel, where you can unwind after your flight. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at a top city restaurant, sampling authentic Kenyan flavors while your guide briefs you on the days ahead.
After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive (or optional flight) to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Along the way, you’ll pass through the Great Rift Valley with stunning panoramic views. Arrive in time for lunch at your luxury tented camp. Later, head out for your first afternoon game drive, where the thrill of spotting your first lion, elephant, or giraffe awaits. End your day with a sundowner as the African sky bursts into shades of orange and red.
Wake up early to the sounds of the wild and set out for a full-day game drive. The Mara is home to the Big Five and one of the best places on earth to see big cats in action. Depending on the season, you might witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, a breathtaking natural spectacle. Enjoy a bush picnic surrounded by the sounds of nature before returning to camp in the evening for a fireside dinner under the stars.
In the morning, visit a traditional Maasai village to learn about the tribe’s unique culture, traditions, and vibrant beadwork. In the afternoon, enjoy another thrilling game drive focusing on areas you haven’t yet explored. Watch elephants graze, spot elusive leopards, and capture incredible wildlife photography as the sun sets.
After breakfast, head to Amboseli National Park, famous for its large herds of elephants and unmatched views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at your lodge, followed by an afternoon game drive. Keep your camera ready for Amboseli’s iconic scene—elephants walking in front of the snow-capped peak.
Spend the day exploring Amboseli’s diverse habitats—from its swampy areas teeming with hippos and birdlife to its dry plains where predators stalk their prey. Early morning offers the clearest view of Mount Kilimanjaro, so this is the perfect time for photos. Return to your lodge for a relaxing evening.
After breakfast, travel by scenic train or flight to Mombasa, then transfer to the pristine Diani Beach. Check into a luxury beachfront resort where swaying palm trees, white sands, and turquoise waters welcome you. Spend the rest of the day relaxing by the pool or enjoying a sunset stroll along the shore.
Wake up to the sound of the ocean. Spend the day at leisure, soaking in the sun, swimming, or indulging in spa treatments. Optional activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, or a visit to Wasini Island for dolphin spotting and Swahili seafood feasts.
Explore the coast’s cultural side with a visit to Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest, a UNESCO-listed heritage site rich in history and tradition. Later, enjoy a sunset dhow cruise, sipping on fresh coconut juice or cocktails as the Indian Ocean glows gold and crimson.
Enjoy a final beachfront breakfast before your transfer to Mombasa Airport for your flight back to Nairobi (or onward connection). Carry home unforgettable memories of Kenya’s incredible wildlife, landscapes, and warm hospitality.
