The Great Rift Valley, Masai Mara & Indian Ocean

 

This 10-day safari and beach holiday brings together three distinctive sides of Kenya in one private journey: the Great Rift Valley, the legendary Masai Mara and the tropical Indian Ocean coast.

Begin with the landscapes and waters of Lake Naivasha before travelling into the Masai Mara, one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations. Your private safari gives you time to search the plains for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, cheetahs and the many other species associated with this remarkable ecosystem.

After your safari, transition from Kenya's interior to Diani Beach. Depending on your preferences and final programme, the journey to the coast can incorporate a domestic flight, SGR train connection or private road transfers.

The final portion of the holiday is devoted to Diani Beach, giving you time to relax beside the Indian Ocean or add carefully selected coastal experiences.

From the Great Rift Valley and the plains of the Masai Mara to the white sands of Diani — Kenya in extraordinary contrast.
Your Journey

10-Day Safari & Beach Itinerary

 

A carefully balanced private journey with time in the Great Rift Valley, a genuine Masai Mara safari and a relaxing Indian Ocean beach stay.

Day 01

Nairobi → Lake Naivasha

Meet your professional driver-guide in Nairobi and begin your private journey toward Kenya's Great Rift Valley and Lake Naivasha.

Enjoy the changing landscapes as you descend toward the Rift Valley before arriving at your selected lodge or hotel in the Lake Naivasha area.

Depending on your arrival time and personalised programme, the afternoon can be spent relaxing or enjoying a selected Lake Naivasha experience.

Overnight: Lake Naivasha · Meals according to selected accommodation
Day 02

Lake Naivasha → Masai Mara

After breakfast, depart Lake Naivasha and continue through Kenya's scenic interior toward the world-famous Masai Mara.

Arrive at your selected safari lodge or tented camp and begin your first Masai Mara wildlife experience according to your arrival time.

From the first game drive, the immense plains introduce you to one of Africa's most celebrated safari landscapes.

Overnight: Masai Mara · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 03

Full-Day Masai Mara Safari

Spend a complete day exploring the Masai Mara in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser with your professional driver-guide.

Search the grasslands, riverine areas and open plains for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, antelope and the extraordinary variety of wildlife for which the ecosystem is renowned.

Because your safari is private, the day's game viewing can be adapted around wildlife activity and your particular interests. During the seasonal Great Migration period, the day's strategy can also focus on areas where migration activity is occurring.

Overnight: Masai Mara · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 04

Masai Mara → Nairobi

Enjoy breakfast and, depending on your confirmed programme, a final opportunity to experience the Mara before beginning the journey back toward Nairobi.

Arrive in Nairobi and settle into your selected hotel for an overnight stay before continuing to Kenya's coast.

For guests choosing a customised flying arrangement, we can also restructure this part of the itinerary to reduce road travel where suitable flight connections are available.

Overnight: Nairobi · Meals according to selected hotel
Day 05

Nairobi → Diani Beach

Today the journey changes completely as you leave Kenya's interior and continue toward the Indian Ocean.

Your Nairobi-to-Diani connection can be arranged by domestic flight, SGR train with the necessary private transfers, or road depending on your preferred travel style and the final itinerary.

On arrival in Diani Beach, transfer to your selected resort or hotel and settle into the tropical part of your holiday.

Overnight: Diani Beach · Meals according to selected beach hotel
Day 06

Diani Beach — Full Day at Leisure

Wake beside the Indian Ocean and enjoy your first complete day in Diani Beach.

Relax on the white sand, swim in the warm tropical waters, enjoy your resort facilities or simply spend the day at your own pace after the safari.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 07

Diani Beach — Leisure or Optional Marine Experience

Enjoy another day at leisure or add a marine experience to your personalised itinerary.

Depending on your interests and travel dates, options can include Wasini Island and Kisite Marine Park, private boat experiences, diving, marine-life excursions or other coastal activities.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 08

Diani Beach — Optional Nature or Cultural Experience

Continue enjoying the coast at your own pace or explore another side of southern Kenya.

Optional experiences can include Shimba Hills, Sheldrick Falls where conditions permit, Funzi Island or selected cultural and community experiences.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 09

Diani Beach — Final Full Beach Day

Your final complete day is deliberately left flexible. Spend it relaxing beside the Indian Ocean, enjoying your resort or adding one final experience to your holiday.

After the Great Rift Valley and Masai Mara, this unhurried ending gives the journey a genuine beach-holiday character.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 10

Diani Beach — Departure or Extend Your Holiday

Enjoy breakfast and your final morning in Diani Beach before your onward transfer according to your flight or travel arrangements.

Additional nights in Diani Beach, Watamu or elsewhere on Kenya's coast can be incorporated if you would like to extend your holiday.

Breakfast · End of programme or personalised extension

Safari to Beach

Choose Your Journey to Diani Beach

 

Because the Masai Mara and Diani Beach lie in very different parts of Kenya, we can design the transition according to your preferred balance of speed, comfort and budget.

Premium Option 01

Domestic Flight

For travellers who prefer to minimise transfer time, we can incorporate suitable domestic flights into the itinerary, subject to schedules and availability. This is particularly attractive when combining the Masai Mara with a beach holiday.

02

SGR Train

Return toward Nairobi and connect with the SGR toward the coast, with the necessary private transfers arranged between your hotel, railway stations and Diani Beach.

03

Private Road Transfer

Road arrangements can also be incorporated where they suit the wider itinerary, although longer distances mean we generally design this option carefully to maintain a comfortable holiday pace.

Designed Around You

Your Safari & Beach Holiday Is Fully Customisable

This 10-day itinerary is a recommended framework rather than a fixed package. We can change the destinations, number of nights, accommodation category, activities and transfer arrangements to suit your preferences.

Add Lake Nakuru, spend an additional night in the Masai Mara, include more time at Lake Naivasha, extend your Diani Beach stay or choose a faster flying connection between safari and the coast.

We can arrange comfortable mid-range, luxury or premium safari lodges and tented camps together with a Diani Beach hotel or resort suited to your preferred style.

Couples, honeymooners, families and private groups can have the programme further personalised around room requirements, travel pace and special interests.

Tell us your preferred safari experience, accommodation level, beach style and transfer preference. We will design the journey around you.
