10-Day Iconic Wildlife Havens and Beach Experience
This 10-Day Iconic Wildlife Havens and Beach Experience Safari is a perfectly balanced Kenya journey combining world-class wildlife encounters with a relaxing tropical coastline escape. Starting and ending in Nairobi, this safari takes you through Kenya’s most celebrated national parks—Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru National Park, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park—before concluding with an extended beach holiday in Diani Beach, one of Africa’s most beautiful coastal destinations.
