10 Days Kenya Classic with Beach

After meeting your driver-guide in Nairobi, begin the journey southwest toward the Masai Mara, passing through open countryside and Rift Valley scenery along the way. On arrival, check in at Mara Sopa or similar and enjoy lunch before taking time to refresh after the drive. In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive in the reserve, a gentle introduction to the Mara’s wide savannahs, grazing plains and resident wildlife. Return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and your first overnight on safari. Meals: Lunch, Dinner. Overnight: Mara Sopa or similar.

Spend the day exploring the Masai Mara, one of Kenya’s most rewarding wildlife areas. Depending on the final programme, this may be arranged as morning and afternoon game drives or as a full-day outing with picnic lunch. The route allows time to search for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, antelopes and other plains wildlife, with the guide adjusting the drive according to sightings and conditions on the day. After a full safari day, return to the lodge for dinner and relaxation. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Overnight: Mara Sopa or similar.

After breakfast, check out and leave the Mara behind as you travel toward the Rift Valley lake region. The journey gives a change of scenery, moving from open savannah into fertile highland and lakeside landscapes. Arrive at Naivasha Sopa or similar, check in and enjoy lunch. The afternoon can be kept relaxed, allowing guests to unwind around the lodge, enjoy the gardens and take in the calm lakeside atmosphere before dinner. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Overnight: Naivasha Sopa or similar.

Depart Lake Naivasha after breakfast and continue south toward Amboseli. This is a longer travel day, but the reward is a complete change in landscape as the route approaches the open plains near Mount Kilimanjaro. Arrive at Amboseli Sopa or similar, check in and have lunch. Later in the afternoon, enjoy a game drive in Amboseli, known for elephant herds and sweeping views when the mountain is clear. Return to the lodge for dinner. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Overnight: Amboseli Sopa or similar.

Spend a full safari day in Amboseli, with game drives timed to make the most of wildlife activity and the changing light across the plains.

The day is paced to allow both wildlife viewing and comfort. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Overnight: Amboseli Sopa or similar.

After breakfast, check out and drive to Tsavo West, a park known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, bush scenery and varied wildlife habitats. On arrival, check in at Severin Safari Camp and enjoy lunch.
