7 nights - 3 nights Masai Mara, 4 nights Diani - Natural Charming Kenya

Arrive at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta Airport, met on arrival and transfer to Wilson Airport for the daily schedule flight to the Masai Mara  (morning and afternoon flights).   On arrival at the Mara airstrip the Basecamp vehicle will be waiting to drive you to camp.   Days spent looking for the amazing wildlife in the Mara.   

Your days on safari can be spent as you wish and your driver/guide will discuss each day with you as you go along. The norm is an early wake up with coffee/tea around 6am to depart on a pre-breakfast game drive at about 630am. Being so close to the equator Kenya’s sunrise and sunset varies by an hour at most throughout the year, the temperature can also be comparatively cold in the early mornings and evenings, so it is a good idea to dress in layers when you go out on a drive as the middle of the day will be hot and dry.

After a sumptuous breakfast, the middle of the day is yours to do with as you please, many people go back to their tents and have a shower, perhaps read and take a nap before lunch or play board games in the main mess/lounge area of camp. After lunch you have a few hours to relax again before heading out around 330/4pm on an afternoon game drive – perhaps follow up on the pride of lion you saw in the morning, or head out to look for an elusive leopard or cheetah. After the game drive is time for a well-deserved pre-dinner drink around the camp fire and a chance to swap stories with other guests.

Fly on the daily schedule service from the Masai Mara to the Kenya Coast landing at Diani Airstrip,  met and a short transfer to Diani Blue.  Days at leisure by the pristine Diani Beach overlooking the Indian Ocean.  

The Kenya Coast is a justifiably popular area - the tropical ocean laps the white sand, hidden by swathes of swaying palm trees. It's a gorgeous idyll perfect for relaxation, resting on Kenya's stunning Indian Ocean shoreline.   You can spend your time here enjoying the sun, sand, endless water-sports, deep sea fishing, dolphin watching, five species of sea turtles, whale-back sharks, humpbacked whales and one of the world’s most varied coral reefs, or just relaxing with a good book. 

It also offers a unique selection of ancient cultural sites; mosques and age-old Swahili towns; a vibrantly colourful cuisine; a wide range of marine parks, wilderness reserves and nightly entertainments for all tastes.

Afternoon flight from Ukunda to Nairobi's Wilson Airport.   Met and transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International airport for the return flight home.
