9-Day Kenya Big Five & Beach Safari
Nine days, the full Big Five, and a proper rest at the end. This circuit strings Kenya’s three most reliable parks in the natural order: rhino at Nakuru, the cats of the Mara, the elephant herds of Amboseli, and then two nights on Diani Beach to let it all settle in.
It is our most balanced longer itinerary: no single-night stands except the first, full days where they count, and the beach placed at the end where it belongs. If you have nine days and want Kenya without gaps, start here.

Tour Plan
Into the Rift Valley for an afternoon with the rhino, the surest first tick on the Big Five list.
Morning flamingoes and giraffe, then the drive to the Mara for an evening game drive.
A full day for lion, leopard and buffalo, with a picnic lunch deep in the reserve.
Dawn with the big cats and a golden-hour drive to close the Mara chapter.
The long transfer day, broken with lunch in Nairobi, arriving in Amboseli by evening.
Elephants under Kilimanjaro all day, from the dawn mountain window to the sunset view at Observation Hill.
Down through Tsavo country to the coast, arriving in time for a swim before dinner.
A full day off: the reef, a dhow, or a lounger and a book.
A slow morning, then your transfer to Ukunda airstrip or Mombasa for the flight out.
