10-Day Luxury Kenya Safari and Beach Escape

After breakfast, we’ll fly you from Wilson Airport to the remote and rugged Samburu National Reserve. Upon landing, your driver-guide will transfer you to Sasaab Lodge, a luxurious retreat overlooking the Ewaso Ng’iro River. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive in this untamed wilderness—home to rare species like the Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, and Somali ostrich. Return to the lodge for a sunset cocktail and a delicious dinner under the stars.

Today is yours to fully explore Samburu. We’ll head out early to catch wildlife in action—keep your eyes peeled for elephants, lions, and the distinctive “Samburu Special Five.” After breakfast back at the lodge, we can visit a local Samburu village to learn about traditional lifestyles, beadwork, and nomadic herding. After lunch, your afternoon game drive offers another chance to spot predators and rare antelopes. As night falls, gather around the fire for storytelling under a starlit sky.

We journey today from Samburu to the private Solio Conservancy, nestled between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range. Known as one of the most successful rhino sanctuaries in East Africa, Solio offers exclusive wildlife viewing with minimal crowds. We’ll settle you into Solio Lodge, where spacious cottages offer uninterrupted views of the plains. In the afternoon, enjoy a guided game drive through the conservancy, home to both black and white rhinos, as well as lions, leopards, and abundant birdlife. Cap off your day with sundowners and a gourmet dinner in the wild.

Your day begins with a sunrise game drive, offering golden light perfect for photography and exceptional wildlife activity. You may spot rhinos grazing, lions on patrol, or buffalo near the acacia trees. After a late breakfast at the lodge, enjoy a leisurely walk or opt for a horseback ride across the plains. This afternoon, you’ll have another game drive or the option to relax with a spa treatment. The day ends with an elegant bush dinner beneath the stars.

After breakfast, we’ll fly you to the legendary Masai Mara, Kenya’s crown jewel of wildlife reserves. You’ll be staying at Angama Mara, a stylish lodge perched high above the Great Rift Valley with breathtaking views of the Mara plains. After lunch, embark on an afternoon game drive where lions, cheetahs, elephants, and massive herds of herbivores roam freely. Return to the lodge for a peaceful evening and fine dining.

This morning, rise early for an optional hot air balloon safari—an unforgettable way to witness the sunrise over the Mara’s endless savannah. After landing, enjoy a champagne bush breakfast in the wild. Spend the rest of your day on game drives tracking the Big Five and, depending on the season, perhaps even a river crossing during the Great Migration. As the sun sets, we’ll treat you to sundowners in a scenic spot before returning to Angama Mara for dinner.

Today, we transition from bush to beach as we fly you to Kenya’s coast. You’ll land in Diani Beach, where palm-fringed shores and warm Indian Ocean waters await. We’ll check you in at a luxurious beachfront resort where you can unwind in style. The afternoon is yours—swim, stroll the beach, or simply relax under a palm tree with a cool drink in hand.

Enjoy a full day of rest and play in Diani. Choose from a variety of optional activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, dhow sailing, or spa treatments. We’re happy to arrange a romantic seafood lunch by the water or a coastal cultural tour if you wish to explore. Whether you’re in the mood for adventure or total relaxation, today is all about you.

After a final breakfast by the beach, we’ll fly you back to Nairobi for your international flight home. If time allows, we can arrange a final meal or shopping stop in Nairobi before your departure. We hope you leave with unforgettable memories and stories from the wild heart of Africa.
