The cost depends on travel dates, lodge category, rooming, park fees and whether you choose scheduled or private charter-style flights. This itinerary is usually priced as a private tailor-made safari, with Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Diani Beach accommodation, transport and guiding quoted to match your budget and comfort level. ### What is the best time of year for this Kenya safari and Diani Beach itinerary? This trip works year-round, but the driest safari months are generally June to October and January to March, when wildlife viewing is often easier. Diani Beach is warm most of the year, though April, May and parts of November can bring heavier coastal rains. ### What wildlife can I expect to see on this 10-day Kenya safari? You have good chances of seeing elephants in Amboseli, rhinos in Lake Nakuru, and big cats such as lions and cheetahs in the Masai Mara, along with giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hyenas and many antelope species. Flamingos at Lake Nakuru depend on water levels and food availability, and all wildlife sightings remain natural rather than guaranteed. ### Is this safari and beach holiday suitable for families with children? Yes, this itinerary can work very well for families because it balances game drives with lighter activities such as a Lake Naivasha boat ride, Crescent Island walk, Hell’s Gate cycling and beach time in Diani. For younger children, Imara Africa Safaris can adjust drive times, lodge choices and activity levels to keep the trip comfortable. ### What is included in the 10-day Kenya safari and Diani Beach holiday?

Most of the safari is by private 4x4 road transport, starting in Nairobi and travelling through Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. After the Masai Mara section, you typically fly to the coast for Diani Beach, then connect back to Nairobi for your onward international flight. ### Is a 10-day Kenya safari and Diani Beach holiday too rushed?
