7 Day Kenya Safari & Beach Holiday – Maasai Mara Big 5 Safari and Diani Beach Relaxation Tour from Nairobi
This is the kind of journey that stays with you long after you return home. A carefully designed Kenya safari and beach holiday that begins in the vibrant city of Nairobi, moves into the legendary wilderness of Maasai Mara National Reserve for three nights of Big 5 safari magic, and then flows into the soft white sands of Diani Beach for pure coastal relaxation.
This Kenya bush and beach safari is designed for travelers who want both adventure and rest in one seamless experience. You’ll track lions, elephants, giraffes, and rhinos across endless savannahs, then trade the safari dust for barefoot walks on warm ocean sand and sunsets over the Indian Ocean.
Whether you are a couple celebrating love, a family creating lifelong memories, or travelers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime escape, this itinerary blends storytelling, comfort, and iconic Kenyan landscapes into one unforgettable journey.
