8-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Beach Safari

Road transfers between Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, a domestic flight to the coast, accommodation, game drives, and your beach stay are all included.

Masai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park, giving you both classic savannah Big Five viewing and the Rift Valley’s rhino and flamingo habitat in one route.

By road between Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and by flight from the Mara via Nairobi to the coast — combining the grounded feel of a road safari with a fast final connection to the beach.

Typically 4–6 game drives across Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, including a dedicated sunrise game drive on the final Mara morning.

The Big Five in the Masai Mara, plus white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and seasonal flamingo flocks at Lake Nakuru.

At Diani Beach or Watamu Beach — both on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast, with Africa Moja Tours able to recommend which fits your preferences for nightlife, snorkeling, or a quieter setting.

Relax, snorkel, dive, enjoy dolphin tours, or add water sports and spa treatments as optional extras during your three nights on the coast.

This safari runs year-round, with the Great Migration bringing wildebeest herds into the Mara between July and October. See our Best Time to Go on Safari in Africa guide for a full month-by-month breakdown.

Yes — the mix of shorter road transfers, a rhino-and-flamingo park that’s easy to cover in a day, and a relaxed beach finish makes it a strong fit for families, couples, and first-time travelers alike.

It offers diverse wildlife, scenic Rift Valley landscapes, and a relaxing coastal finish in one trip. If you’d rather skip the beach and add a third park instead, our 6-Day Masai Mara and Amboseli Safari pairs the Mara with Amboseli’s elephant herds and Kilimanjaro views. For more on Kenya’s signature wildlife, our Big Five explainer covers where each animal is most reliably spotted, and our custom safari packages page can adjust this route’s length or destinations around your exact dates.
