This 10-day Kenya adventure is the ultimate combination of wild landscapes, iconic wildlife and pristine coastline, crafted for travellers who want to experience the very best the country has to offer. You will begin your journey in the legendary Maasai Mara, tracking the Big Five across vast golden plains before heading south through the Great Rift Valley to the calm shores of Lake Naivasha. From there the route sweeps through Amboseli, where elephant herds roam beneath the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, then into the volcanic wilderness of Tsavo West before you finally surrender to the turquoise waters and white sands of Mombasa. Africompass guides this journey in your language, with multilingual experts fluent in English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese and more, ensuring every moment is fully yours to savour.
Your Africompass guide will collect you from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 07:30 for the scenic drive toward the Maasai Mara, including a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint where the scale of East Africa's most dramatic geological feature will unfold before you. You will arrive at the reserve in time for lunch, then set out on an afternoon game drive across the rolling savannah. Dinner and overnight at Zebra Plains Mara Luxury Camp.
Today will be devoted entirely to exploring the Maasai Mara, one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations and home to the Big Five, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, alongside more than 350 bird species. You will have the choice of a full-day game drive with picnic lunch in the field, or an early morning drive followed by a return to the lodge for lunch and a second evening drive. The reserve's most productive wildlife corridors will be covered, giving you the best chance of remarkable sightings. Optional activities such as a Maasai village visit (USD 30 per person) and a hot-air balloon safari are available at an additional cost.
After breakfast you will depart the Mara and make your way north to the tranquil shores of Lake Naivasha, arriving in time for a relaxing lunch at your lakeside hotel. The afternoon will bring a peaceful boat ride out to the famous Crescent Island, a private wildlife sanctuary where hippos and waterfowl are abundant. Dinner and overnight at Lake Naivasha Country Club.
An early breakfast will precede your drive south to Amboseli National Park, which sits at the foot of the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro. You will arrive in time for lunch, then spend the afternoon on a game drive through this celebrated park, famous for its vast elephant herds, lions, cheetahs, buffaloes and exceptional birdlife. The great mountain will form a breathtaking backdrop to your wildlife encounters. Dinner and overnight at Kibo Safari Tented Camp.
The morning will begin with a game drive that takes in the celebrated Kilimanjaro viewpoint, where clear skies reveal the full majesty of Africa's highest peak rising above the plains. You will return to camp in time for lunch, and the afternoon will offer time to relax at the tented camp with optional swimming, guided nature walks and bird walks available. A further afternoon game drive will round off another rewarding day in Amboseli before dinner and overnight at Kibo Safari Tented Camp.
After breakfast you will check out and drive into the dramatic volcanic wilderness of Tsavo West National Park, the land made legendary by the Man-Eaters of Tsavo, with game viewing continuing as you travel through the park. The afternoon will feature a dedicated game drive and visits to the crystal-clear Mzima Springs, the eerie Shetani lava flow and the striking Chaimu Crater, showcasing the park's unique geological character alongside abundant elephants, zebras, black rhino and buffalo. Dinner and overnight at Man Eaters Lodge.
An early breakfast will precede your departure from Tsavo West, with game viewing continuing en route as you head toward the Kenyan coast. On arrival in Mombasa you will enjoy a city tour taking in the historic landmarks of this ancient port city before checking in at your beachfront resort for lunch. The remainder of the day will be free for relaxing at the resort. Dinner and overnight at Voyager Beach Resort.
Day 8 will be completely at your disposal on the beautiful Kenyan coast, where the warm Indian Ocean and white coral sands of Mombasa's north coast invite total relaxation. The all-inclusive plan at Voyager Beach Resort means you will have access to a full range of on-site amenities, from pools and watersports to beach activities, throughout the day. Dinner and overnight at Voyager Beach Resort.
Another unhurried day on the coast awaits, allowing you to settle fully into the rhythm of the Indian Ocean shoreline before the journey home begins. The resort's all-inclusive facilities will remain at your disposal throughout the day, and optional activities such as snorkelling, dhow cruises or a spice tour can be arranged locally at an additional cost. Dinner and overnight at Voyager Beach Resort.
After breakfast you will check out of Voyager Beach Resort and be transferred to Mombasa's Moi International Airport at 10:00 for your flight to Nairobi. Your Africompass driver will be waiting on arrival, and a lunch will be provided en route to the Sarova Pan Afric Hotel in Nairobi, where you will have time to relax and freshen up before a farewell dinner. Later in the evening you will be transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your international departure.

Tell us your dates and dream, and a local specialist will craft your trip.
It depends on what you want to see. For the Great Migration river crossings in the Maasai Mara, visit between July and October, when the herds cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing. For calving season and dense predator activity, January to March is excellent, particularly around the southern Serengeti. Kenya's two dry seasons (June to October and January to February) generally offer the clearest skies and easiest game viewing across Amboseli, Tsavo, and Samburu, since animals gather around limited water sources. The 'green season' (November and April to May) brings lush scenery, migratory birdlife, and lower rates, though some rural roads can be muddy. Tell us your travel dates and priorities, and we will recommend the destinations that fit best.
Most nationalities need a Kenya eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation), applied for online before you fly; Tanzania and Zanzibar require their own separate visa, available online or on arrival depending on your nationality. Entry requirements change from time to time, so confirm the current rules for your passport a few weeks before departure. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory if you are arriving from, or have transited through, a Yellow Fever risk country, and we recommend it in general along with being up to date on routine vaccinations (MMR, tetanus, hepatitis A and B). Most safari areas are malaria zones, so antimalarial medication is strongly advised. Always check final requirements with your doctor or a travel health clinic, and ask us for the latest entry rules when you book.
Every itinerary we build is private and tailor-made by default: your own vehicle, driver-guide, and schedule, with no strangers added to your trip. That means you can linger an extra morning at a favourite lodge, adjust the route on the go, or add a visit to the Emmanuel New Hope Rescue Centre we support. If you would rather share costs or travel as a solo guest, we can also arrange a scheduled group departure and match you with other travellers on similar dates. Either way, your safari is planned by our Nairobi-based specialists around your budget, dates, and interests, not a fixed package.
Safari costs vary widely depending on where you stay and how you travel. Budget camping safaris in parks like Amboseli or Lake Nakuru can start from around USD 150 to 250 per person per day, mid-range lodge safaris typically run USD 250 to 450 per day, and luxury tented camps in the Maasai Mara or Serengeti can exceed USD 750 per day. Your quote always includes a private vehicle, driver-guide, park fees, and accommodation as specified in your itinerary. Since every trip we build is tailor-made, tell us your budget and travel dates and we'll show you exactly what it buys, with no hidden extras.
Pack light, neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, olive, beige) for game drives, since bright colours and dark blue can attract tsetse flies in some regions. Bring layers for early morning drives, which can be cold even near the equator, plus a hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. A good pair of binoculars, a camera with a zoom lens, and a portable charger make a real difference to the experience. Comfortable closed shoes are more useful than sandals, and most lodges offer laundry service, so you rarely need more than a week's worth of clothing even on a longer trip. We send a full packing checklist tailored to your specific itinerary and season once you book.
Yes. Alongside our guided safaris, we offer both self-drive car hire and chauffeur-driven vehicles for clients who want more flexibility around Nairobi, the coast, or shorter road trips. Self-drive suits experienced drivers comfortable with Kenyan road conditions, while a chauffeur-driven car is the better choice for game-viewing routes, night driving, or if you'd simply rather relax and let a local expert handle the roads. All our vehicles are well-maintained 4x4s suited to both tarmac and rougher safari tracks. Let us know your route and dates and we'll recommend the right option.
Millions of visitors travel safely to Kenya and Tanzania every year, and the main tourist circuits, national parks, and coastal resorts are well-established and closely monitored. As with any international travel, sensible precautions apply: use a reputable operator (we're KATO-verified), avoid displaying valuables in cities, and follow your guide's advice in wildlife areas, where the real risk is animals, not crime. We stay in regular contact with our clients throughout their trip, and our drivers know the routes and current conditions well. If you have specific safety questions about your itinerary, we're happy to talk them through before you book.
Absolutely, it's one of our most popular combinations. A typical itinerary pairs 4 to 7 days on safari in the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, or Serengeti with 3 to 5 days unwinding on the beach in Zanzibar or Diani Beach, taking advantage of short connecting flights between the two. We handle all the logistics, including domestic flight bookings and airport transfers, so you go straight from game drives to the Indian Ocean without the stress of planning it yourself. Tell us how many days you have and we'll suggest a balance between wildlife and beach time that fits your trip.
