Overview

The trip, in short

Ten days linking Kenya's rift valley conservancies to Diani Beach — Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West on safari, finishing with two nights on the coast.

Kenya’s rift valley conservancies and its palm-lined coast in one continuous route: this ten-day journey links Ol Pejeta’s rhino sanctuaries, Lake Nakuru’s flamingo shoreline, the wide plains of the Masai Mara, the still waters of Lake Naivasha, Amboseli’s elephant herds under Kilimanjaro, and the red-earth thickets of Tsavo West, before handing you over to the white sand and warm Indian Ocean at Diani.

Mornings and afternoons belong to game drives with an experienced driver-guide in a pop-top safari vehicle; the final two nights belong to nothing but the beach. It’s built for travelers who want the full Kenya story — savanna, rift valley lakes, and coast — without piecing together separate bookings, and it works equally well as a honeymoon, a family trip, or a milestone celebration.
