This eight-day adventure takes you through the heart of Kenya's most celebrated wild landscapes before rewarding you with the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean coast. You will explore the rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara, the flamingo-fringed shores of Lake Nakuru, and the iconic Amboseli plains with Mount Kilimanjaro as your backdrop, all from comfortable mid-range lodges and tented camps that put you close to nature without sacrificing the essentials. After the exhilaration of the bush, the journey shifts to Diani Beach, one of East Africa's most beautiful stretches of coastline, where powdery white sand and swaying palms invite you to unwind completely. This is a fully private safari, meaning every element is arranged exclusively for you and your travel companions, with flexible start dates to suit your calendar. Africompass will take care of every detail, from your first transfer to your final farewell breakfast, so you can simply savour every moment.
On Day 1 you will be met at your Nairobi hotel or airport and transferred to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Depending on your arrival time, an afternoon game drive will introduce you to the sweeping golden savannah and its extraordinary wildlife, and you will settle in at camp in time for dinner under the stars.
Day 2 will be dedicated entirely to the Maasai Mara, one of the most wildlife-rich ecosystems on earth. You will embark on both a morning and an afternoon game drive, with ample time to look for lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and the vast herds of wildebeest that roam these plains throughout the year.
On Day 3 you will depart the Mara after breakfast and travel north to Lake Nakuru National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its dazzling flamingo gatherings and resident white rhino. An afternoon game drive around the lake will reveal a striking concentration of birdlife and mammals in a compact and beautiful setting.
On Day 4 you will check out of Lake Nakuru Lodge and transfer to Amboseli National Park, set at the foot of Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival you will check in to your lodge and enjoy a late-afternoon game drive with the magnificent snow-capped mountain as your backdrop.
Day 5 will offer a full immersion in Amboseli's landscapes, where you will search for the park's legendary big-tusked elephant bulls moving against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. Morning and afternoon game drives will cover the swamps, open plains and acacia woodlands that make Amboseli one of Africa's most photogenic safari destinations.
On Day 6 you will bid farewell to the bush and fly from Amboseli or the nearest airstrip to the Kenya coast, arriving at the stunning Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean. The rest of the day will be yours to relax on one of East Africa's finest beaches, with the warm blue-green sea just steps from your room.
Day 7 will be a full day of leisure at Diani Beach, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Africa, with powdery white sand and warm, clear waters. You will have the freedom to relax at your own pace, and optional excursions such as a dhow cruise, snorkelling at Kisite-Mpunguti, or a visit to Shimba Hills National Reserve can be arranged at an additional cost.
On the final day you will enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the resort before transferring to Mombasa Moi International Airport for your flight back to Nairobi, where the tour will officially conclude. Lunch will be included before you proceed to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your Nairobi hotel, carrying with you the memories of an extraordinary Kenyan adventure.
