A Richer Great Rift Valley & Masai Mara Journey

 

This 11-day Kenya safari and beach holiday expands the classic Masai Mara experience into a more varied journey through the Great Rift Valley before finishing on the Indian Ocean coast.

Begin at Lake Naivasha, where freshwater landscapes provide a gentle introduction to the Rift Valley. Continue to Lake Nakuru National Park for a contrasting wildlife experience before travelling onward to the legendary Masai Mara.

After exploring the Mara in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser, return toward Nairobi and make the transition to Diani Beach by your preferred combination of domestic flight, SGR train or road transfer.

The final four nights are devoted to Diani Beach, allowing you to relax beside the Indian Ocean or incorporate optional marine, nature and cultural experiences.

Great Rift Valley lakes, the legendary Masai Mara and four nights beside the Indian Ocean — a beautifully varied Kenya safari and beach holiday.

11-Day Safari & Beach Itinerary

 

The programme balances a multi-destination private safari with a genuine beach holiday and can be customised to suit your preferred pace, accommodation level and travel style.

Day 01

Nairobi → Lake Naivasha

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

Enjoy the changing landscapes as you travel from the capital toward the Rift Valley before arriving at your selected lodge or hotel.

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

Lake Naivasha → Lake Nakuru National Park

After breakfast, continue through the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Nakuru National Park.

Enter the park for your private wildlife experience, exploring its varied landscapes and searching for wildlife with your driver-guide.

Search the grasslands and riverine habitats for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, antelope and the many other species that make this ecosystem one of Africa's most famous wildlife destinations.

Your private safari gives your driver-guide the flexibility to respond to wildlife activity and focus on the experiences that interest you most.

Overnight: Masai Mara · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 05

Masai Mara → Nairobi

Enjoy breakfast and depart the Masai Mara for Nairobi after your safari experience.

Nairobi → Diani Beach

Leave Nairobi and continue toward Kenya's Indian Ocean coast. Your transfer can be arranged according to the final itinerary and your preferred travel style.

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

Overnight: Diani Beach · Meals according to selected beach hotel
Day 07

Day 10

Diani Beach — Final Full Beach Day

Spend your final full day relaxing beside the Indian Ocean. The day is intentionally left flexible so you can enjoy the beach, your resort or one final optional experience.
