Kenya Safari
Kenya Beach & Safari: Mara plus Diani
Bush-to-beach without backtracking - direct Mara-to-coast flights.
Diani's seventeen kilometres of white sand sit a short hop from the Mara via Ukunda flights. Seven safari days plus three beach nights is the formula; Wasini dhow trips and Colobus walks fill beach days that want more than a lounger.

FAQs
Diani or Zanzibar?
Diani for Kenya-loop simplicity; Zanzibar for Stone Town culture. Both superb.
What is the best month for this trip?
Timing decides everything: Jul-Oct and Jan-Mar both halves. Tell us your exact window and we confirm the wildlife logic before quoting camps.
How many days should we allow?
9-10 days. Shorter formats move daily; longer formats add buffer days for weather, herds and rest - the days most travelers later call the best.
What does it cost?
As a baseline, rates in this cluster start at $4,850, rising with season and camp tier - see the cards above. Final pricing depends on season, camp tier and group size - every proposal is line-itemed so you can trade choices up or down per night.
Who is this trip best for?
Everyone who wants their own vehicle, guide and schedule - no group compromises.
What photography gear should we bring?
A 100 to 400mm zoom covers 90 percent of sightings; add a wide second body for landscapes. Beanbags beat tripods in vehicles. We provide charging setups and dust management briefings - tell us your kit and targets.
How do internal flights and luggage limits work?
Bush flights allow 15 to 20kg in soft duffels; lodges store hard cases free. We route connections with realistic margins and meet you at every airstrip - missed-connection cover is built into fly-in trips.
Is this trip private?
Yes - every itinerary here runs with your own vehicle and guide. No Mixed-group compromises unless you ask for a join-in price.
How fit do we need to be?
Game-drive safaris need no fitness. Trekking trips state their grade honestly - ask for the training notes.
What is NOT included that surprises first-timers?
International flights, visas, travel insurance (required), premium drinks, the balloon flight where offered, and tips. Our quotes line-item park fees and permits so the total you compare is the total you pay.
