One Incredible Beach & Safari Holiday

We can't think of a better combination — Kenya's world-famous savannahs, alive with big cats, elephants, rhinos, and millions of wildebeest… paired with the warm, sparkling beaches of the Indian Ocean coast.

Whether you're tracking the Big Five through the golden grasslands of the Masai Mara, gazing at elephants framed by Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, or watching red elephants cross the vast plains of Tsavo — every safari day ends with the promise of powder-white beaches ahead.

Then sink your toes into the pristine sands of Diani Beach, float in turquoise waters, and toast to your adventure with a sunset cocktail. That's the magic of a Kenya bush & beach holiday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Kenya safari & beach holidays

What is a Kenya safari and beach holiday?
A safari and beach holiday combines a thrilling wildlife adventure through Kenya's national parks — such as Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo — with relaxation on the tropical white-sand beaches of the Indian Ocean coast. You can start from Nairobi, Diani Beach, or Mombasa and enjoy the best of both worlds in a single trip.
How do I get from the safari parks to Diani Beach?
You have two options. The scenic route is by 4x4 Land Cruiser through Tsavo, combining wildlife viewing with the journey. Alternatively, you can take the SGR Madaraka Express train from stations like Mtito Andei or Voi to Mombasa, then transfer to Diani by road via the Likoni Ferry — a unique experience in itself. Some packages also offer bush flights for a faster aerial transfer.
Which route should I choose — Nairobi to coast, or coast-based?
If you're flying into Nairobi, the Nairobi → Coast route is ideal: safari first, beach second. If you're already at the coast or prefer to start with beach relaxation, our Diani-based safaris let you explore nearby parks like Tsavo and Amboseli before returning to your beach hotel. Both offer incredible experiences — it simply depends on your itinerary and where you want to finish.
What is the best time of year for a safari and beach holiday in Kenya?
Kenya is a year-round destination. The dry seasons (January–March and July–October) offer the best wildlife viewing, with July–October being prime time for the Great Migration in Masai Mara. The coast is warm and sunny almost all year. The shoulder months of June and November offer great value with fewer crowds. April–May is the green season with lower rates and lush landscapes.
Can I customize my safari and beach package?
Absolutely! Every package can be tailored to your preferences. Choose your wildlife parks, the number of safari days, accommodation tier (Economy, Comfort, Luxury, or Superior Luxury), and your preferred beach destination — Diani, Watamu, Malindi, or Mombasa. Contact us with your ideal trip and we'll build it for you.
Are park entrance fees included in the package price?
Yes! All park and reserve entrance fees are included in every package. Your pricing also covers accommodation, meals on safari, a private 4x4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, a professional English-speaking driver-guide, and bottled drinking water.
Is Diani Beach safe for families with children?
Diani Beach is one of East Africa's most family-friendly destinations. The calm, shallow waters are safe for swimming, and many resorts offer kids' clubs, pools, and family rooms. On safari, children of all ages are welcome in our private vehicles. We can also arrange family-friendly activities like snorkelling, glass-bottom boat rides, and visits to the Colobus Conservation Centre.
