Maasai Mara & Diani Beach

7 days / 6 nights safari and beach — September 2026, 2 guests

Kenya in one journey: the plains of the Maasai Mara, where lion, elephant and giraffe move across open grassland, followed by the white sand and warm Indian Ocean of Diani Beach. Three days of unlimited game drives in a 4x4 safari cruiser with a professional driver-guide, then three unhurried days on the coast — snorkelling, dhow trips or simply nothing at all.
