A Grand Kenya Safari & Beach Combination

Kilimanjaro, Rift Valley, Masai Mara & Indian Ocean

 

This 12-day itinerary is designed for travellers who want more than a short introduction to Kenya. It brings together four contrasting safari environments before ending with a relaxing stay on Diani Beach.

Your journey begins in Amboseli, where large elephant herds roam beneath Mount Kilimanjaro. From southern Kenya, continue northwest toward Lake Naivasha and the spectacular Great Rift Valley.

Lake Nakuru adds another distinctive wildlife environment before the safari reaches its climax in the Masai Mara, one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations.

After the safari, continue to Diani Beach using the transfer arrangement that best suits your preferences — domestic flight, SGR with private connections, or road where suitable.

From elephants beneath Kilimanjaro to the plains of the Masai Mara and finally the warm Indian Ocean — this is Kenya in remarkable contrast.
Your Journey

12-Day Safari & Beach Itinerary

 

A private journey designed to showcase several of Kenya's most distinctive landscapes before giving you time to slow down and relax beside the Indian Ocean.

Day 01

Nairobi → Amboseli National Park

Meet your professional driver-guide in Nairobi and depart south in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser toward Amboseli National Park.

As you approach the Amboseli ecosystem, the landscape opens into the famous plains associated with Mount Kilimanjaro. After arrival, settle into your selected lodge or tented camp.

Depending on the day's timing, enjoy your first wildlife experience before returning to your accommodation.

Overnight: Amboseli · Meals according to selected accommodation
Day 02

Full-Day Amboseli National Park Safari

Spend the day exploring Amboseli in your private safari vehicle.

The park is particularly renowned for its elephants and, when weather conditions are favourable, magnificent views of Mount Kilimanjaro provide one of East Africa's classic safari scenes.

Explore different habitats in search of elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, antelopes and other wildlife. Because the safari is private, your driver-guide can adapt the day around wildlife activity and your interests.

Overnight: Amboseli · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 03

Amboseli → Lake Naivasha

After breakfast, leave Amboseli and begin the journey toward Kenya's Great Rift Valley.

The changing landscapes make today's journey an important part of the experience as you travel from Kilimanjaro country toward the freshwater environment of Lake Naivasha.

Arrive at your selected Lake Naivasha accommodation and enjoy the remainder of the day at a relaxed pace.

Overnight: Lake Naivasha · Meals according to selected accommodation
Day 04

Lake Naivasha → Lake Nakuru National Park

Enjoy breakfast before continuing through the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Nakuru National Park.

Enter the park and explore its diverse habitats in your private Safari Land Cruiser. The landscape provides a different safari experience from both Amboseli and the Masai Mara.

Continue wildlife viewing before proceeding to your selected accommodation for the evening.

Overnight: Lake Nakuru area · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 05

Lake Nakuru → Masai Mara

After breakfast, continue toward the Masai Mara, travelling from the Great Rift Valley into one of Africa's most famous wildlife ecosystems.

Arrive at your selected lodge or tented camp and begin exploring the Mara according to your arrival time.

The open grasslands and extraordinary concentration of wildlife create an immediate contrast with the destinations visited earlier in the safari.

Overnight: Masai Mara · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 06

Full-Day Masai Mara Safari

Spend a full day exploring the Masai Mara with your private driver-guide.

Search the grasslands, riverine habitats and open plains for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, antelopes and the many other species associated with the greater Mara ecosystem.

During the seasonal Great Migration period, your safari can focus on areas where migration activity is occurring. Your private vehicle gives you the flexibility to adjust the day around wildlife sightings and your particular interests.

Overnight: Masai Mara · Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Day 07

Masai Mara → Nairobi

After breakfast, leave the Masai Mara and begin the journey back toward Nairobi.

Arrive in Nairobi and check into your selected hotel for a comfortable overnight stay before travelling to Kenya's coast.

For travellers who prefer to reduce road travel, this portion can also be restructured around suitable domestic flight connections when preparing the final itinerary.

Overnight: Nairobi · Meals according to selected hotel
Day 08

Nairobi → Diani Beach

Today your holiday changes from safari to tropical coast. Travel from Nairobi toward Diani Beach using the transfer arrangement selected for your personalised programme.

A domestic flight provides the fastest premium option. Alternatively, travel by SGR toward the coast with connecting private transfers, or incorporate a road journey where it suits your preferred itinerary.

On arrival in Diani, transfer to your selected hotel or resort and settle in beside the Indian Ocean.

Overnight: Diani Beach · Meals according to selected beach hotel
Day 09

Diani Beach — Full Day at Leisure

Enjoy your first complete day beside the Indian Ocean. There are no game-drive schedules and no long transfers today.

Relax on Diani's white sand, swim in the warm ocean, enjoy your resort facilities or simply spend the day at your own pace.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 10

Diani Beach — Leisure or Optional Coastal Experience

Continue enjoying the beach or add a carefully selected coastal experience to your personalised holiday.

Possible options include Wasini Island and Kisite Marine Park, private boat experiences, diving, Shimba Hills, Funzi Island and other marine or nature experiences according to your interests and travel dates.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 11

Diani Beach — Final Full Beach Day

Your final complete day is deliberately unhurried. Relax beside the Indian Ocean and enjoy your resort, or add one final optional experience.

Additional beach activities can be incorporated if you prefer a more active ending to your holiday.

Overnight: Diani Beach
Day 12

Diani Beach — Departure or Extend Your Holiday

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

If you would like more time beside the Indian Ocean, additional Diani Beach nights or another coastal destination can easily be added.

Your Kenya · Your Journey

We Can Customise Every Part of This Itinerary

The 12-day programme is a carefully designed example, but it is not a rigid package. We can customise it to suit your preferred safari pace, interests, accommodation level and budget.

Add another night in Amboseli or the Masai Mara, spend longer at Lake Naivasha, remove a destination, extend Diani Beach or add another national park.

We can also change the safari-to-beach connection. Some travellers prefer the speed of a domestic flight, while others enjoy the SGR experience or prefer to keep more of the journey overland.

Accommodation can range from carefully selected mid-range lodges to luxury safari camps and premium beach resorts. Families, couples, honeymooners and private groups can all have the itinerary personalised accordingly.

Tell us the Kenya holiday you have in mind. We will adjust the safari, lodges, number of nights, beach stay and transfers to create an itinerary that genuinely suits you.
