“The trip completely exceeded our expectations, even despite it not being ‘peak season’ we were able to tick off Africa’s Big 5 on the very first game drive. This was in no small part down to our guide, Bonnie…”

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Kenya for a safari and beach holiday?
For the absolute best wildlife viewing, plan your trip during the dry seasons from June to October or January to February. July through October is particularly special since you’ll catch the Great Migration in the Masai Mara, when over a million wildebeest and zebras cross from Tanzania. The beach destinations along the coast stay warm and sunny most of the year, with temperatures hovering between 25-30°C. If you’re trying to avoid rain, skip March to May (the long rains) and November (short rains). That said, even during rainy seasons, showers typically don’t last all day, and you’ll find better deals on accommodations.
How long should I plan for a combined safari and beach holiday?
To really soak in both experiences without feeling rushed, set aside at least 10 days. Most of our guests find that 6 days on safari followed by 4 days at the beach hits the sweet spot. The safari portion gives you enough time to visit key parks like the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, while the beach stay lets you properly unwind and enjoy some water activities. If you can stretch to two weeks, even better: you could add destinations like Tsavo or spend more time just relaxing by the ocean.
What's the best way to get from the safari parks to the beach?
You’ve got two main options here. Flying saves you loads of time: it’s just a quick 2-hour hop from the Masai Mara to either Mombasa or Diani’s Ukunda Airport. The flights give you stunning aerial views of Kenya’s scenery too. Driving takes longer but lets you see more of the country and local life. If you’re heading to Diani Beach from Amboseli, for instance, you’ll pass through interesting areas and can stop at viewing points. We can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your schedule and preferences.
Tell me more about the accommodation options.
There’s something for every style and budget. At the luxury end, think private tented camps in the Masai Mara with your own plunge pool, personal butler, and gourmet dining under the stars. Mid-range lodges offer comfortable rooms, good food, and often great views, while our budget-friendly options still give you a clean, safe base for your adventures. At the beach, you might choose anything from an exclusive boutique hotel in Watamu to a lively resort in Diani. Most safari lodges include all meals, while beach resorts offer flexible plans: you might want bed & breakfast to try local restaurants, or all-inclusive to really relax.
How safe is it to combine safari areas with beach destinations?
Very safe: it’s actually Kenya’s most popular holiday combination. We work exclusively with vetted transfer companies and accommodation providers who’ve been in business for years. If you’re flying, we use respected airlines like Safarilink and AirKenya. For road transfers, our drivers know the routes inside out and stay in constant contact with our operations team. The lodges and resorts all have security and most beach properties have their own private stretches of beach.
What exactly should we pack?
For safari, think practical and neutral: khaki, beige, or olive clothes (skip bright colors or dark blue/black as they attract tsetse flies). Pack light long-sleeved shirts and trousers for dawn/dusk game drives, a warm fleece (mornings can be chilly), sturdy walking shoes, and a wide-brimmed hat. For the beach, bring typical beach gear plus modest clothing for visiting local areas. Don’t forget high-SPF sunscreen, good insect repellent (with DEET), any prescription meds, and a good camera with extra batteries. Most lodges do laundry same-day, so you can pack lighter than you might think.
How flexible are the lodges with dietary requirements?
Really flexible these days. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, or have specific allergies, the lodges can accommodate you. Many have surprisingly refined kitchens: you might find yourself having a gourmet vegetarian curry in the middle of the Masai Mara! Just let us know your requirements when booking, and we’ll make sure every property is briefed and prepared. Some remote camps might need advance notice for very specific requirements, but they’ll always ensure you’re well fed.
