Three nights in the Mara and four on Diani Beach: big cats, then the sea, with flights between them.
This is the classic bush and beach holiday. You spend three nights in the Mara, on the river, for the big cats and the plains, and then fly to the coast for four nights on Diani Beach.
The flights keep the road out of the trip, and the beach days are the reward after the early starts.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flights depend on the airline schedule. The migration is a natural event and dolphin sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Best time for this trip Jun to Oct, Dec to Mar
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
