Local 6 days Maasai Mara, Kenya

6-Day Mara & Diani Beach Safari

About This Tour

Why choose between safari and beach when Kenya has both? This 6-day combo pairs three days of Big Five game drives in the Maasai Mara with three days unwinding on Diani's white-sand coastline, one of Africa's most awarded beaches. Fly between the two so you lose no time to road travel — dust and game drives up front, ocean and cocktails to close it out.

Itinerary

Morning flight or road transfer from Nairobi into the Maasai Mara. Check in to camp and head out for your first afternoon game drive.

A full day tracking the Big Five across the reserve's open plains, with a picnic lunch out in the bush and a second game drive as the afternoon light turns golden.

One last morning game drive, then transfer to the airstrip for your flight (via Nairobi) down to Diani on the south coast. Check in to your beach hotel by evening — swap dust for sea air.

A full free day to enjoy Diani's white sand and turquoise water: swim, snorkel the reef, or simply do nothing at all. Optional add-ons (dhow cruise, snorkelling trip, spa) available on request.

Choose an optional excursion — a Kisite-Mpunguti dolphin and snorkelling trip, a Shimba Hills day tour, or another relaxed day on the beach. Your consultant can arrange bookings ahead of travel.

Enjoy a final coastal morning before your transfer to Ukunda airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi, connecting on to your onward journey home.
