Masai Mara Safari Packages: Wildlife and Beach Vacation
This is the ultimate East African adventure! Embark on a wildlife safari in the Masai Mara and walking safari in the Laikipia region in Kenya and cap it all off with 4 nights at a beach resort.
We designed this Masai Mara Safari Packages: Wildlife and Beach Vacation for a group of 6 friends from Colorado. They wanted an authentic, one-of-a-kind safari in Kenya to see a lot of African wildlife. They could check that experience off their bucket list while also enjoying some relaxation at a beach resort. So we planned this trip where they had each camp to themselves and a private villa on the beach.
They arrived in Nairobi, where they were greeted at the airport and transferred to the local airport for a flight to the Laikipia region of Kenya. The group got to enjoy one of Kenya’s best safari areas. Renowned for its protection of rare animals, the high plains of Laikipia feature vast open stretches of African savanna scattered with abundant game including Grevy’s zebras, lions, leopards, black rhinos, wild dogs, buffalos, giraffes, ostrich, and thousands of elephants. They spent 4 nights in the area.
Next on their Masai Mara Safari Packages: Wildlife and Beach Vacation, they flew to the Masai Mara. They stayed at Serian’s Kimya Kimya. The camp features prime wildlife viewing locations, exceptional service, and an authentic African charm! Our clients loved their stay here—especially having the luxury of a private safari vehicle with their very own tracker and guide.
The last stop on their Masai Mara Safari Packages: Wildlife and Beach Vacation was Diani Beach in Kenya. The group stayed at Alfajiri Cliff Villa, offering stunning views of the Indian Ocean and personalized service in an exclusive, serene setting. The resort was the perfect place to end their trip. They returned home feeling utterly rejuvenated, with plenty of stories to tell about their adventures in Africa!

Day 1
Welcome to Kenya! Fly into Nairobi and enjoy a transfer to Wilson Airport for a flight to the Laikipia region of Kenya. Laikipia is a vast, diverse landscape known for its dramatic scenery, rich wildlife, and conservation-focused private game reserves. You will be transferred to your first lodge, Ol Lentille. Ol Lentille, named after Laikipia’s highest peak, is a lodge that is proud to be different. Located in a remote and beautiful part of Laikipia, guests enjoy the dramatic landscape and pristine wilderness of a 40,000-acre private conservancy which is home to many wildlife species. Game drives, walks (gentle or vigorous), camel safaris and even quad biking are some of the many activities at Ol Lentille.

Day 5
Fly to the Masai Mara today for the next step of your safari! Enjoy an evening game drive en route to Serian’s Kimya Kimya Camp, which is set on a private riverside site in the Mara North Conservancy. This snug little setup is chock-full of character with grand views over the rushing Mara River and a lively salt lick that regularly features Elephant, Giraffe and Zebra. Throughout the day, Zebra work their way down to the nearby spring for a mid-morning tipple, often displaced by raucous kids wanting to splash around in the warm water spring. This is an active river crossing point; Elephant and Giraffe navigate their way through the maze of granite boulders to the opposite bank.
Serian’s Kimya Kimya
Days 6- 8
These days are on safari in the Masai Mara today. At Serian, all of your game drives will be conducted in a private 4×4 safari vehicle with your own private guide and tracker, which means the day’s activities are entirely up to you. Want to spend the day tracking down an elusive rhino, or get out of the car and follow a wild elephant’s trail on foot? Anything is possible. Depart early in the morning to see the wildlife at its most active. A mid-day picnic lunch in the bush and a scenic sundowner will break up the day’s safari activities.

With its gorgeous palm trees, powder white sand, and glistening azure waters, Diani Beach is a popular resort area on Kenya’s magnificent Indian Ocean shoreline, about 30 kilometres south of Mombasa. You will arrive at your resort, Alfajiri Cliff Villa, located on the edge of a cliff in Kenya, offers a luxurious and exclusive getaway with uninterrupted ocean views. The villa features four elegantly furnished suites, including the top-floor Turret Suite with scenic ocean views, equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi access and minibars. Your whole group will have the villa to themselves.

Days 10-12
The next three days are yours to spend at your leisure. Warm seas and exquisite coral reefs are the ideal environments for water-based activities including snorkeling, scuba diving, and boat safaris. Divers are likely to see turtles, mantas, barracuda and, if lucky, possibly even the elusive whale shark, the planet’s largest animal. Don’t miss the Colobus Conservation, a wonderful sanctuary for these fascinating endangered primates; the Shimba Hills National Reserve which offers an exceptional safari experience; and the nearby Kisite Marine National Park, known for its dolphin and turtle sightings. An array of excellent shops and alluring sea-facing restaurants completes the package of this destination. You can enjoy private dining a la carte, served al fresco or in-villa, with a focus on fine seafood and diverse cuisine paired with South African and South American wines and local spirits. The villa boasts anlush private garden, and luxury services, infinity pool, including a private driver and in-villa spa treatments.
