ITINERARY:

Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi

Afterward, enjoy a comfortable transfer to your hotel to check in, relax, and rest up after your flight. Your stay in Nairobi includes a delightful bed-and-breakfast arrangement, setting a smooth tone for the adventure ahead.

Accommodation Option: Weston Hotel

Day 2: Journey to the Legendary Masai Mara

After breakfast at your hotel, check out and begin the scenic drive to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The drive takes approximately five hours, descending through the breathtaking Great Rift Valley.

Upon arrival in the Mara, check into your chosen camp or lodge, enjoy a fresh lunch, and take a short rest. In the late afternoon, embark on your first game drive across the golden savannah, where you can spot lions, elephants, cheetahs, and vast herds of grazers before sunset.

Days 3 & 4: Immersive Wildlife Viewing in Masai Mara
Spend two full days exploring the rich ecosystem of the Masai Mara. With both morning and afternoon game drives scheduled, you will have ample opportunity to spot the famed Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino).

For an extra touch of magic, you can book an optional early-morning hot air balloon safari to glide silently over the plains at sunrise, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. Return to your lodge each evening for dinner and peaceful nights under the stars.

Accommodation Options: Sarova Mara Camp or Zebra River Camp

Day 5: Lake Nakuru National Park
Following breakfast, check out and drive north toward Lake Nakuru National Park, a world-renowned sanctuary famous for its vibrant birdlife and strong population of both black and white rhinos.

Arrive in time to check in and enjoy lunch at your lodge. In the afternoon, head out on a game drive along the lake shore to observe flamingos, pelicans, waterbucks, giraffes, and endangered rhinos grazing against the picturesque forest backdrop.

Accommodation Options: Lake Nakuru Lodge or Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge

Day 6: Boat Safari on Lake Naivasha
Enjoy breakfast before checking out for a short, scenic drive to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater gem in the Rift Valley. Arrive around lunchtime, settle into your lodge, and savor a relaxing meal.

In the afternoon, embark on an exciting boat safari across the calm waters of the lake. Keep your camera ready to capture pod hippos wallowing nearby and majestic African fish eagles swooping down from yellow fever trees to catch fish.

Accommodation Options: Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge or Elsamere Lodge

Day 7: Fly to Diani Beach

Say goodbye to the Great Rift Valley as you drive back to Nairobi. From there, board a short domestic flight to the sunny coast of Diani Beach, consistently voted among Africa’s finest coastal spots.

Upon landing in Diani, transfer to your luxury beachfront resort. The remainder of the day is yours to unwind, sip fresh coconut water, and take your first walk along the soft, powdery shore of the Indian Ocean.

Days 8 & 9: Tropical Coastal Leisure in Diani
Spend two full days in complete relaxation or active exploration. Diani offers turquoise waters ideal for swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, kite surfing, or taking a traditional dhow cruise.

If you prefer cultural experiences, explore local artisan markets, sample fresh seafood dressed in fragrant Swahili spices, or simply lounge by the pool with a cool ocean breeze. A Kenya bush and beach safari ensures the perfect rhythm: intense wilderness action followed by pure tropical rest.

Accommodation Options: Baobab Beach Resort or Swahili Beach Resort

Day 10: Departure via Nairobi

On your final day, transfer to the local airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Connect smoothly to your international departure flight home, carrying unforgettable memories of wide-open savannahs, rare wildlife, and serene ocean shores.
