Your Kenya Tours and Safari adventure begins the moment you land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. A professional driver-guide greets you at the arrivals terminal with a warm smile and a sign bearing your name. After assisting you with your luggage, you are transferred either to the company office for a short tour briefing or directly to your hotel.

Tonight is about settling in and preparing for the adventure ahead. At the Limpopo Hotel and Suites, you can enjoy a comfortable rest after your long flight. Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to relax by the pool, enjoy a leisurely dinner, or take a short city stroll. Nairobi is a bustling capital where modern skyscrapers blend with historic buildings, and the lively atmosphere reminds you that you are in the gateway to East Africa’s greatest safaris.

This first evening allows you to rest and adjust to the time zone before the real excitement begins. Tomorrow, the wilderness awaits, and your journey into the heart of Kenya’s wildlife begins.

Accommodation: Limpopo Hotel and Suites

After breakfast, your driver-guide picks you up at 8:30 am, and your Kenya Tours and Safari officially begins. You depart Nairobi and head southwest, passing through the Great Rift Valley with its dramatic escarpments and sweeping views. Along the way, you’ll stop briefly at the Rift Valley viewpoint, where you can take photographs of this geological wonder that stretches from the Middle East all the way down to Mozambique.

Continuing through Narok, the gateway town to the Mara, you begin to see hints of Maasai culture. Warriors in red cloaks, adorned with beadwork and spears, remind you of the deep traditions of the Maasai people who call this land home. Their presence adds cultural richness to the safari experience, highlighting the connection between people and wildlife.

By midday, you arrive at Explore Nature Mara Lodge. After check-in and a hearty lunch, you take a short rest before heading out for your first game drive. The afternoon drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve is your introduction to Africa’s iconic wildlife. Lions patrol the plains, elephants graze in family groups, and giraffes stretch their necks to feed on acacia trees. The Mara is home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as countless other species including zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species.

Your guide skillfully navigates the savannah, pointing out animal behavior and sharing stories about the ecosystem. You may see a cheetah perched on a termite mound scanning for prey, or perhaps a leopard draped lazily across a tree branch. As the sun sets, painting the horizon in shades of orange and gold, you return to camp for dinner and relaxation. The evening is filled with the distant roars of lions and the laughter of hyenas, sounds that remind you that you are deep within the wild heart of Kenya.

Accommodation: Explore Nature Mara Lodge

The third day of your Kenya Tours and Safari is dedicated to exploring the Mara in depth. You rise early, sipping tea or coffee before departing for a sunrise game drive. This is the best time to witness predators on the move—lions returning from a night hunt, leopards prowling in the shadows, or hyenas scavenging at dawn. The light is golden, the air is cool, and the Mara comes alive in ways that are unforgettable.

For those seeking an exclusive experience, this is also the day you may choose an optional hot air balloon safari (extra cost). Drifting silently over the plains, you gain a bird’s-eye view of herds moving across the savannah. The experience concludes with a champagne breakfast in the bush—a signature touch that elevates this Kenya Tours and Safari into a luxury adventure.

The rest of the day is spent on a full-day game drive with picnic lunch boxes, allowing you to reach deeper into the reserve. The Mara is world-renowned for its predator-prey interactions. During migration season (July–October), millions of wildebeest and zebras flood into the Mara from the Serengeti, creating dramatic river crossings at the Mara River. Even outside migration months, the abundance of resident wildlife ensures spectacular sightings year-round.

You pause by the Mara River to watch pods of hippos and enormous Nile crocodiles basking in the sun. On the open plains, you may encounter elephant herds, cheetahs preparing for a sprint, or hyenas cackling as they feed. Every drive feels unique, and your guide ensures you capture the best of what the Mara has to offer.

By late afternoon, you return to Explore Nature Mara Lodge for a well-deserved rest. Evenings here are magical: cocktails by the fire, stories shared with fellow travelers, and a candlelit dinner under the stars. As you drift off to sleep, you feel immersed in the rhythm of the wild, knowing that this Kenya Tours and Safari is already delivering experiences of a lifetime.

Accommodation: Explore Nature Mara Lodge

After breakfast at Explore Nature Mara Lodge, your Kenya Tours and Safari adventure takes you from the sweeping plains of the Mara to the rich ecosystems of Lake Nakuru National Park. The journey winds upward along the eastern escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. Along the way, you pass tea and coffee plantations that carpet the highlands, a reminder of Kenya’s agricultural heritage. At the Rift Valley viewpoint, you pause for photographs of the vast escarpments, a landscape carved by tectonic forces over millions of years.

By midday, you arrive at Lake Nakuru, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its birdlife and rhino population. After checking into Lake Nakuru Lodge and enjoying lunch, you set out for an afternoon game drive. Lake Nakuru is known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 425 species recorded. In the past, the lake was famously fringed with millions of flamingoes, and while water levels have shifted in recent years, flocks still gather to create splashes of pink along the shores.

Beyond birds, Nakuru is a haven for endangered species. The park is home to both black and white rhinos, often spotted grazing on the grassy plains or wallowing in mud pools. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs also roam the reserve, while giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and warthogs add to the variety. With luck, you may see a lioness with her cubs, or a leopard stealthily moving through the acacia forests.

As the sun sets, the golden light reflects off the lake’s surface, casting a magical glow. You return to the lodge for dinner and overnight, reflecting on the diversity that makes this park such a vital addition to any Kenya Tours and Safari.

Accommodation: Lake Nakuru Lodge

After breakfast, you depart Lake Nakuru and drive toward Lake Naivasha, a freshwater jewel in the Rift Valley. The destination today is Crescent Island, a private sanctuary often described as Naivasha’s “best kept secret.”

Unlike most game reserves, Crescent Island allows walking safaris, making it a unique highlight of your Kenya Tours and Safari. After a short boat ride across Lake Naivasha, where you pass pods of hippos and watch fish eagles dive for their prey, you step ashore onto the island. Here, you can walk alongside giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impalas, and gazelles in complete safety. There are no predators on Crescent Island, which allows for a rare chance to experience the bush on foot.

The island is also home to abundant birdlife. Pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, and herons thrive along the shores, while the haunting call of the fish eagle echoes across the lake. Walking quietly among the wildlife, you gain a sense of intimacy and connection that few safari experiences can provide. This is not about rushing in a vehicle—it is about slowing down and truly feeling part of nature.

By late afternoon, you check into Naivasha West Beach Camp, where dinner and relaxation await. The lodge, located near the lake, offers a peaceful retreat after the day’s adventure. As you sit under the starlit sky, you realize how diverse this Kenya Tours and Safari package has become—combining traditional game drives with unique walking safaris that enrich the overall journey.

Accommodation: Naivasha West Beach Camp

The sixth day marks a dramatic transition in your Kenya Tours and Safari: from wildlife adventures to the serene beaches of Zanzibar. After breakfast, you drive back to Nairobi, passing through the familiar Rift Valley landscapes before arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. From here, you board a flight to Zanzibar Island, where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean welcome you.

Upon arrival in Zanzibar, you are met by your chauffeur from Aluna Zanzibar Paje Resort. The drive to the resort passes through small villages, spice farms, and coastal roads lined with palm trees swaying in the breeze. Once at your beachfront resort, you check in and are free to relax. The transition from game drives to barefoot luxury on the beach is seamless, and the island’s laid-back atmosphere invites you to unwind.

This is your residence for the next four days. Here, the pace slows down. After days of tracking lions and rhinos, you now listen to the sound of waves lapping the shore. You can choose to spend the afternoon swimming in the ocean, lounging by the pool, or strolling along the pristine white sands of Paje Beach. Dinner is served at the resort, often featuring fresh seafood infused with Zanzibar’s famous spices.

This day reminds you why combining safari and beach is one of the most rewarding Kenya Tours and Safari options available. It balances excitement with tranquility, giving you the best of both worlds in one seamless itinerary. Accommodation: Aluna Zanzibar Paje Resort

After days of thrilling game drives in the savannah, your Kenya Tours and Safari now shifts to pure relaxation on the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar. You begin the morning with a full buffet breakfast, enjoying tropical fruits, fresh pastries, and Zanzibar’s famous coffee. With the day ahead free of schedules, you can choose exactly how you want to spend your time.

Some guests spend the day lounging by the pool or on the soft white sands of Paje Beach, where turquoise waters sparkle under the sun. Others may choose optional excursions—perhaps a spice tour to learn why Zanzibar is called the “Spice Island,” or a guided walk through Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its winding alleys, carved wooden doors, and centuries of history as a hub for traders.

For those seeking marine adventures, Zanzibar offers world-class snorkeling and diving in coral reefs teeming with colorful fish. Whether you float gently in the lagoon or dive deep among schools of tropical fish, the Indian Ocean provides a completely different kind of wonder compared to the savannahs of Kenya. By evening, you return to Aluna Zanzibar Paje Resort, where dinner is served, often featuring freshly caught seafood infused with cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

This day is all about balance—allowing you to rest, reflect, and savor the luxury of combining safari and beach in one unforgettable Kenya Tours and Safari package.

Spend the morning swimming in the turquoise waters, watching starfish and crabs along the shore. If you’re curious about culture, arrange an excursion to explore Stone Town in greater depth—its spice markets, Arab forts, and historic architecture tell the story of centuries of cultural blending between Africa, Arabia, and Asia.

For adventurous travelers, deep-sea fishing, kite surfing, or sailing in a traditional dhow at sunset offer unforgettable memories. For those seeking rest, simply enjoy your final hours on the beach, letting the sound of waves and swaying palms remind you of the beauty of slowing down.

As the sun sets, you realize this balance of safari and beach is exactly what makes this itinerary one of the most complete Kenya Tours and Safari packages. The combination delivers variety, depth, and contrast—wildlife and wilderness first, followed by pure indulgence in paradise.If you wish to be more active, you might book a dolphin-watching excursion on the southern coast or visit Jozani Forest, the only national park in Zanzibar and home to the rare red colobus monkey. The forest walk introduces you to mangrove swamps, giant mahogany trees, and unique plant life found only on this island.

Back at the resort, you can spend the afternoon indulging in spa treatments, relaxing in hammocks, or sipping cocktails as the ocean breeze drifts across the shore. The evening invites another candlelit dinner, this time perhaps set on the beach itself, with your feet in the sand as waves lap nearby. Your time in Zanzibar contrasts beautifully with the earlier days of safari. Where the Mara and Nakuru were filled with the drama of predator and prey, Zanzibar offers peace, calm, and luxury. Together, they create the perfect balance that defines this Kenya Tours and Safari holiday.

Accommodation: Aluna Zanzibar Paje Resort

The final day of your journey begins with breakfast at the resort. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have a few hours to relax on the beach, take a final swim, or buy last-minute souvenirs from local shops. After checkout, your chauffeur transfers you to Zanzibar Airport for your flight to Nairobi.

Arriving in Nairobi, you are met for assistance with your international connection. Your Kenya Tours and Safari officially ends here, but the memories are lasting: the roar of lions in the Mara, the shimmering flamingoes at Lake Nakuru, the walking safari at Crescent Island, and the turquoise waters of Zanzibar.

This combination of safari and beach showcases the very best of East Africa. It is more than just a holiday—it is a journey into the heart of Africa’s wildlife and culture, balanced with the relaxation of island life. Few itineraries capture so much diversity in just ten days, making this Kenya Tours and Safari one of the most rewarding travel experiences you can take.
