Starting in Nairobi and ending with a flight connection from Diani back to Nairobi, the itinerary takes you through [Amboseli National Park](/kenya/amboseli), [Lake Naivasha](/kenya/lake-naivasha), [Hell’s Gate National Park](/kenya/hells-gate-national-park), [Lake Nakuru National Park](/kenya/lake-nakuru-national-park), [Masai Mara National Reserve](/kenya/masai-mara-national-reserve), and finally the white sandy beaches of Diani.

With Imara Africa Safaris, this private safari is designed for travelers who want a deeper Kenya experience without feeling rushed. Amboseli offers beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days, large elephant herds, wetlands, open plains, and rich birdlife. Lake Naivasha adds a peaceful boat ride and Crescent Island walking safari, while Hell’s Gate National Park brings an adventurous cycling and walking experience through dramatic cliffs and gorges.

The journey continues to [Lake Nakuru](/kenya/lake-nakuru) National Park, a scenic Rift Valley park known for rhino viewing opportunities, flamingos depending on water levels, and diverse birdlife. From there, you travel to the world-famous Masai Mara, where extended game drives offer chances to see lions, elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, and other wildlife. While sightings are never guaranteed, the Mara remains one of Africa’s most rewarding safari destinations.

This [Kenya safari](/kenya) and beach holiday is ideal for couples, families, small groups, honeymooners, first-time safari travelers, and travel agents looking for a complete Kenya itinerary that combines wildlife, culture, adventure, and coastal relaxation.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does a 10-day Kenya safari and Diani Beach holiday cost?
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.

International flights, visas, travel insurance, drinks, tips and optional beach activities are usually excluded unless clearly stated.

### How do we travel between the safari parks and Diani Beach?
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?
No, this itinerary is designed to give a broad Kenya experience without spending every day in transit. It combines major wildlife areas, Rift Valley scenery, an active Hell’s Gate visit and a Diani Beach finish, making it a good length for first-time visitors who want both safari and relaxation.
