Nairobi → Samburu

Meet your professional driver-guide in Nairobi and begin your private journey north toward Samburu.

Travel through the changing landscapes of central Kenya as the greener highlands gradually give way to the drier and more dramatic scenery associated with northern Kenya.

Arrive at your selected Samburu lodge or tented camp and, depending on timing, enjoy your first wildlife experience before settling in for the evening.

Full-Day Samburu Safari

Spend a complete day exploring the Samburu ecosystem in your private 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser.

The area's semi-arid landscapes and riverine habitats provide a safari experience very different from the Masai Mara and southern Kenya.

Your driver-guide will explore the ecosystem in search of elephants, lions, leopards and northern Kenya species such as Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, Somali ostrich and gerenuk.

Because the safari is private, the day's game drives can be adapted around wildlife activity and your particular interests.

Samburu → Lake Nakuru

After breakfast, leave northern Kenya and travel south toward the Great Rift Valley.

Today's journey reveals another dramatic change in scenery as you move from Samburu's semi-arid landscapes toward the greener highlands and Rift Valley region.

Continue to the Lake Nakuru area and settle into your selected accommodation. Depending on the day's timing and final programme, game viewing can be incorporated accordingly.

Lake Nakuru National Park → Masai Mara

Begin the day with a private wildlife experience in Lake Nakuru National Park, exploring its lake environment, woodlands and surrounding habitats.

Continue toward the Masai Mara, travelling deeper into southwestern Kenya and arriving at one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife ecosystems.

Check into your selected lodge or tented camp and enjoy your first Mara experience according to arrival time.

Full-Day Masai Mara Safari

Devote the day to exploring the Masai Mara in your private Safari Land Cruiser.

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

During the seasonal Great Migration period, your driver-guide can focus on areas where migration activity is occurring. Because your vehicle is private, the safari can be adjusted around wildlife sightings and your interests.

Masai Mara → Nairobi

Enjoy breakfast before leaving the Masai Mara and beginning your journey back toward Nairobi.

Arrive in the capital and check into your selected hotel for a comfortable overnight stay before continuing to Kenya's Indian Ocean coast.

For travellers who prefer to minimise road travel, this section can also be redesigned around suitable domestic flight connections when we prepare your final itinerary.

Nairobi → Diani Beach

Today the character of your holiday changes completely as you leave the safari landscapes behind and continue toward Kenya's tropical Indian Ocean coast.

Travel to Diani Beach by domestic flight, SGR with private connecting transfers, or road according to your selected arrangement and final itinerary.

On arrival in Diani, transfer to your selected beach resort or hotel and begin the relaxing coastal portion of your holiday.

Diani Beach — Full Day at Leisure

Wake beside the Indian Ocean and enjoy a completely unhurried day after your safari.

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

Diani Beach — Leisure or Optional Marine Experience

Enjoy another day beside the Indian Ocean or add a marine experience to your personalised programme.

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

Diani Beach — Optional Nature Experience

Continue relaxing at your resort or discover another side of Kenya's south coast.

Optional experiences can include Shimba Hills, Sheldrick Falls where conditions permit, Funzi Island and other carefully selected nature excursions.

Diani Beach — Optional Cultural & Coastal Discovery

Your extended stay gives you the freedom to explore beyond the beach without making the holiday feel rushed.

Choose a cultural or community experience, explore more of the south coast, arrange another private excursion or keep the day completely free.

Diani Beach — Final Full Day at Leisure

Spend your final complete day exactly as you wish. Relax beside the Indian Ocean, enjoy your resort or return to one of your favourite coastal activities.

Leaving this final day flexible provides a relaxed conclusion after travelling through several very different regions of Kenya.

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 another coastal destination can be added if you would like to extend your Kenya holiday.
