10-Day Kenya Safari & Beach Escape

10 Days / 9 Nights Private Tour 3 National Parks Safari + Beach Popular Combo

Safari Overview

This 10-Day Kenya Safari & Beach Escape is the ultimate Kenya holiday — combining the best wildlife parks in the country with a luxurious finish on the white sands of Diani Beach. It's perfect for couples, families, or anyone who wants to experience both the raw excitement of the bush and the tranquil beauty of the Indian Ocean.

You'll start in the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve — home to the Big Five, the Great Migration, and some of the most dramatic predator action on the planet. From there, you travel to Lake Nakuru National Park, where flamingos, rhinos, and tree-climbing lions await. Next is Amboseli National Park, where enormous elephant herds roam beneath the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The final four days are spent unwinding at Diani Beach on Kenya's stunning south coast — turquoise water, white sand, coconut palms, and total relaxation. An unforgettable 10 days that truly shows you everything Kenya has to offer.

Masai Mara Big Five — Two full days in Kenya's most iconic reserve, with expert-guided game drives and a Maasai village cultural visit.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1 — Arrival in Nairobi & Transfer to Masai Mara

Day 1

Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), located 15km southeast of Nairobi. You'll be met by your PMK Tours representative who will greet you and get you ready to begin your journey.

Transfer by road from Nairobi, stopping at the scenic Rift Valley Viewpoint for photos and refreshments. Continue through the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve — one of the most spectacular drives in Kenya.

Arrive at Zebra Plains Mara Camp in time for a welcome lunch. Spend the afternoon settling in, enjoying refreshments, and soaking up the breathtaking Mara landscape. This evening, experience a cultural visit to a Maasai village, followed by a memorable dinner at camp.

Accommodation: Zebra Plains Mara Camp (Tented camp, Inside Masai Mara NR)  |  Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Day 2 — Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve

Day 2

Wake up to the sounds of the Mara — birdsong, distant lion roars, and the rustle of the savannah. After breakfast, your PMK guide picks you up for a full-day game drive through the reserve.

The Masai Mara is home to the densest concentration of wildlife on earth. You're almost guaranteed to see lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, hippo, buffalo, and hundreds of bird species. Between July and October, the legendary Great Wildebeest Migration passes through — with up to 1.5 million wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

Enjoy a bush picnic lunch in the reserve surrounded by nature. Afternoon game drive covers different sections of the Mara. Return to camp at sunset for dinner.

Accommodation: Zebra Plains Mara Camp  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner (All meals + drinking water on game drive)

Day 3 — Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru National Park

Day 3

After breakfast and check-out from Zebra Plains Mara Camp, transfer by road to Lake Nakuru National Park. Despite being minutes from the busy town of Nakuru, this park is an incredible wildlife destination.

Lake Nakuru is famous for its large numbers of both black and white rhino, endangered Rothschild's giraffe, and pink flamingos. It's one of only a handful of parks in Africa where you can see tree-climbing lions. The view from the escarpment over the lake is superb.

Arrive at Ziwa Bush Lodge in the early afternoon. Check in, enjoy lunch, then relax by the pool in the leafy grounds. Enjoy an evening game drive — this is when both predators and prey are most active. Return for dinner.

Accommodation: Ziwa Bush Lodge (Lodge, northwest of Lake Nakuru NP)  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 4 — Lake Nakuru to Amboseli National Park

Day 4

Rise before dawn for an early morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park — the soft light is perfect for photography and the animals are most active. After the drive, return to Ziwa Bush Lodge for breakfast and check-out.

Transfer by road to Amboseli National Park (approximately 3–4 hours). Amboseli is one of Kenya's most beautiful parks — dominated by the magnificent views of Mt. Kilimanjaro (5,895m), Africa's highest peak. The park is also famous for its large population of big-tusked elephants.

Arrive at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge close to the park's eastern gate. After refreshments and lunch, head out for an evening game drive in Amboseli to spot elephants, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, and wildebeest. With 420 bird species, it's also a birder's paradise. Dinner and overnight.

Accommodation: Sentrim Amboseli Lodge (Tented camp, Just outside Amboseli NP)  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 5 — Full Day in Amboseli National Park

Day 5

A full day in magnificent Amboseli. Your guide picks you up for an early morning game drive as the first light touches Kilimanjaro — one of the most spectacular sights in all of Africa.

Amboseli's swamp areas attract huge elephant herds — you may encounter 50–100 elephants at once. The park's open plains are also excellent for spotting predators, especially lions and cheetahs. With a bit of luck, the summit of Kilimanjaro will be clear of clouds for the iconic photo opportunity.

Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, surrounded by nature. Afternoon game drive explores different sections of Amboseli. Return to the lodge at sunset for dinner.

Accommodation: Sentrim Amboseli Lodge  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 6 — Amboseli to Diani Beach (via SGR Train)

Day 6

After breakfast and check-out from Sentrim Amboseli Lodge, transfer by road to Emali train terminus. Board the modern Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) for a comfortable journey towards the coast — a unique and scenic way to cross Kenya.

Arrive at Mombasa Terminus and transfer by road south along the coast to Diani Beach. Diani is simply stunning — a tropical paradise of soft white sands, turquoise Indian Ocean waters, and swaying palm trees stretching over 25 kilometres.

Check in to Diani Sea Resort, located right on the beach. Enjoy refreshments, explore the resort, and watch a stunning Indian Ocean sunset. Welcome dinner at the resort.

Accommodation: Diani Sea Resort (Resort, directly on Diani Beach)  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 7 — Leisure Day at Diani Beach

Day 7

Your first full free day at the beach — after the excitement of the safari, this is pure bliss. Diani Beach offers some of East Africa's best snorkeling and scuba diving among vibrant coral reefs. You can also try kite surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, or simply lounge under the palm trees with a cold drink.

The resort has multiple swimming pools, restaurants, beach bars, and a games area. The ocean is warm and calm, ideal for swimming. A beach lunch at the resort, then more relaxation in the afternoon. Sunset drinks on the beach, followed by dinner.

Accommodation: Diani Sea Resort  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 8 — Leisure Day at Diani Beach

Day 8

Another full day to enjoy the best of Diani Beach at your own pace. Optional excursions nearby include a dhow sailing trip, visits to the Shimba Hills forest for colobus monkeys, or a trip to nearby Mombasa to explore the historic Old Town and Fort Jesus.

The resort's all-inclusive service means you're fully taken care of. Spend as much time as you like by the pool or on the beach. The atmosphere at Diani is wonderfully relaxed — no rush, no schedule. Dinner at the resort overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Accommodation: Diani Sea Resort  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 9 — Final Day at Diani Beach

Day 9

Your last full day in Diani — make the most of every moment. The beach is at its most magical in the early morning, when the light is soft and the sand is quiet. Take a final walk along the shore, pick up some souvenirs from the beach market, or simply sit and savour the Indian Ocean views.

Enjoy a leisurely lunch at Diani Sea Resort, afternoon by the pool, and a beautiful final sunset on the beach. Tonight's dinner is a celebration of an extraordinary 10-day journey through Kenya.

Accommodation: Diani Sea Resort  |  Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 10 — Departure: Diani to Nairobi

Day 10

After a final breakfast at Diani Sea Resort, check out and transfer by road to Mombasa Terminus. Board the SGR train back towards Nairobi. Transfer by road from Emali terminus to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward flight.

As you lift off into the skies, the sights, sounds, and spirit of Kenya travel with you — the golden sunsets over the Mara, the roar of lions, the sight of elephants beneath Kilimanjaro, and the gentle lapping of the Indian Ocean at Diani. A piece of Africa will forever stay with you.

Your 10-Day Kenya Safari & Beach Escape ends at JKIA, Nairobi.
