9 Day Kenya Safari and Beach Trip

Arrive in the Masai Mara and take a short flight to Saruni Wild, a small safari lodge set in the private Lemek Conservancy. This quiet corner of the Mara offers luxury, comfort, and direct access to Kenya’s iconic wildlife.

Settle in with views across the open plains. Enjoy gourmet meals, open fires under the stars, and your first chance to spot elephants, giraffes, and more roaming nearby. If the evening is clear, a private bush dinner makes for a memorable start to your safari.

You’ll spend the next two days exploring Kenya’s most iconic safari landscape. Morning and afternoon game drives bring you close to lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, and cheetahs. Guided bush walks let you slow down and learn about the land from a local perspective.

In the evenings, relax at your comfortable safari lodge, where open skies and campfires set the scene. Choose a night drive to look for nocturnal wildlife that’s rarely seen in daylight.

For something unforgettable, add a hot air balloon ride and watch the sunrise over the vast savannah. These days blend adventure, wildlife encounters, and time to enjoy the beauty of the Masai Mara at your own pace.

After your safari, fly south to Kenya’s coast and settle into a quiet lodge on Galu Beach. Golden sands, warm Indian Ocean waters, and a touch of coastal culture set the scene for the next few days.

Start exploring right away. Snorkel over colorful reefs, swim in crystal-clear lagoons, or take a boat trip along the coastline for a different view of the shore. Forest walks in nearby hills bring waterfalls, birds, and cool shade.

Your evenings end by the ocean, with fresh seafood dinners and the sound of waves just steps away. Adventure-filled days give way to starry skies and the calm of the Kenyan coast.

As the trip slows down, these days are about rest and easy living. Mornings begin with yoga on the beach or slow walks along the shoreline as the sun rises over the Indian Ocean.

Read under palm trees, swim in the pool, or simply watch the tide roll in from the comfort of a shaded veranda. Time here is yours to spend however you like, with no agenda except to relax.

In the evenings, enjoy long, unhurried dinners by candlelight, soft breezes carrying the sounds of the ocean, and the feeling of having nowhere else to be.

After a final breakfast on Kenya’s South Coast, transfer to Ukunda airstrip for your flight to Nairobi and onward journey home. As you leave Kenya’s wildlife, beaches, and wide-open landscapes behind, you’ll carry the memories of a trip filled with remarkable moments.

If you wish to extend your adventure, consider adding time in Samburu or Laikipia for cultural experiences, or fly to Zanzibar for more days by the ocean.
