10-Days Ultimate Kenya Safari & Coastal Escape

Welcome to Kenya! Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our Savanna Adventure Co. representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Nairobi. After settling in, enjoy a comprehensive briefing about your upcoming safari adventure, meet your professional guide, and prepare your camera equipment. The remainder of the day is at leisure to rest and acclimatize to East African time.

Depart Nairobi early morning and drive through Kenya's scenic landscapes toward the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve. En route, you'll pass through the Great Rift Valley, offering spectacular views and opportunities to spot wildlife from the road. Arrive at your tented camp in the afternoon and enjoy your first game drive as the sun begins to set, experiencing the magic of the Mara at golden hour.

Experience a full day of immersive wildlife viewing in the Maasai Mara, home to the world's greatest concentration of large predators. Join early morning and afternoon game drives to maximize wildlife sightings. Your expert guide will navigate you through diverse habitats, from open grasslands to riverine forests, tracking lions, leopards, cheetahs, and buffalo. Witness the dramatic predator-prey interactions and enjoy picnic lunches in the heart of the reserve.

After one final morning game drive in the Mara, depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, known for its dramatic escarpment views and diverse birdlife. The drive takes you through the scenic Rift Valley with multiple photo stops. Upon arrival, enjoy an afternoon game drive around the soda lake, where you may spot rhinos, leopards, and thousands of flamingos. The park offers a unique landscape quite different from the Mara's grasslands.

Travel to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake surrounded by lush vegetation and volcanic landscapes. Enjoy a game drive around the lake shores spotting hippos, giraffes, and numerous bird species. In the afternoon, take an optional boat cruise on the lake to spot hippos up close and enjoy the serene water environment. This day offers a different perspective on Kenya's diverse ecosystems, away from the traditional savanna landscape.

Drive south toward Amboseli National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro across the Tanzanian border. Afternoon game drives offer excellent opportunities to photograph elephants against the snowy peak backdrop. Amboseli's ecosystem centers around natural springs that attract wildlife during dry seasons. Enjoy sundowner drinks while watching the African savanna landscape transform under the setting sun.

Dedicate an entire day to exploring Amboseli's pristine wilderness. Early morning and afternoon game drives focus on locating and photographing the park's famous elephant families. Your guide will share insights into elephant behavior, social structures, and conservation efforts. The park's relatively compact size and concentration of wildlife around water sources make for excellent game viewing. Enjoy gourmet picnic lunches in scenic locations throughout the park.

Journey to the vast Tsavo East National Park, one of Kenya's largest protected areas. Famous for its red elephants (colored by red volcanic soil), Tsavo offers a more rugged and untamed safari experience. Game drives navigate through diverse landscapes including rocky outcrops, riverine vegetation, and open plains. The park's remoteness and lower tourist density provide authentic wildlife encounters and excellent photography opportunities.

Depart Tsavo East and drive toward the Indian Ocean coast, arriving at the pristine Diani Beach in the afternoon. This scenic drive transitions from savanna wildlife viewing to tropical beach relaxation. Settle into your beachfront accommodation and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure, swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on white-sand beaches. The contrast between safari adventure and coastal paradise provides the perfect conclusion to your Kenya experience.

Spend your final morning enjoying Diani Beach's tropical paradise. Optional activities include water sports, spa treatments, or leisurely beach walks. In the afternoon, transfer to Mombasa International Airport for your departure flight, concluding your extraordinary 10-day Kenya adventure. Depart with unforgettable memories of world-class wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and the warm hospitality of Savanna Adventure Co.
