7-Day Kenya Bush & Beach Safari: Maasai Mara to the Coast

1. Tour Overview

This seven-day itinerary pairs two of Kenya's signature experiences — Big Five game drives in the Maasai Mara and a relaxed close on the Indian Ocean coast — giving travelers both the adrenaline of the bush and the stillness of the beach in one well-paced trip.

2. Detailed Description

The first half of the journey is dedicated entirely to wildlife: two full days of game drives across the Maasai Mara's open plains, tracking lion, elephant, leopard, and the reserve's other iconic residents. From there, the itinerary shifts completely — a flight or drive to the coast delivers several days on Kenya's white-sand beaches, with time for swimming, relaxing, and optional excursions like snorkeling, dhow sailing, or a Wasini Island tour. It's a strong fit for travelers who want their Kenya trip to deliver on both fronts rather than choosing one or the other.
