Safari Overview

Discover the perfect combination of wildlife and beach relaxation on this 8 Days 7 Nights Kenya Safari and Beach Holiday, featuring 3 nights in the Maasai Mara and 4 nights in Diani Beach. This carefully balanced itinerary allows you to experience Kenya's iconic wildlife before retreating to the warm tropical shores of the Indian Ocean.

Your adventure begins with a journey to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa's most celebrated safari destinations. Spend three nights surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife, enjoying morning and afternoon or full-day game drives led by an experienced safari guide. The Mara is home to lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and numerous other species. If travelling during the migration season, you may also have the opportunity to witness the incredible movement of wildebeest and zebras across the Mara ecosystem.

After three memorable nights in the Mara, continue your journey to Diani Beach by air, saving valuable travel time and allowing you to maximize your holiday. Upon arrival, settle into your beachfront resort and enjoy four nights of relaxation along one of Kenya's most beautiful coastal destinations.

Your days in Diani are intentionally relaxed, giving you time to enjoy the white-sand beaches, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, relax by the pool, or explore the coast at your own pace. Optional experiences such as snorkeling, diving, dolphin excursions, Wasini Island trips, and other water activities can be arranged for those looking for more adventure.

Combining thrilling safari experiences with a peaceful tropical escape, this 8-day Kenya safari and beach holiday is ideal for couples, honeymooners, families, and travelers seeking a well-rounded Kenyan experience without a rushed itinerary.
