1 Nairobi to Tsavo East

Depart Nairobi early in the morning and drive through the picturesque landscapes of southeastern Kenya, passing small towns and rural villages as you head to Tsavo East National Park. After approximately 5–6 hours, arrive at the park’s entrance and proceed with a leisurely game drive en route to your lodge. Check in, enjoy lunch, and then embark on an afternoon game drive exploring the vast plains, home to the red-dusted elephants, zebras, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, and more. As the sun sets, return to the lodge for dinner and your first night in the wild.

2 Dawn Patrol & Savannah Secrets

Wake up to the sounds of the wilderness and set out for an early morning game drive when wildlife is most active. Traverse the park’s scenic trails and riverbanks, keeping an eye out for elusive leopards and cheetahs. Visit the iconic Aruba Dam, a popular watering hole teeming with wildlife. Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, and spend the late morning relaxing or enjoying the lodge’s amenities. After lunch, embark on another game drive or opt for a guided nature walk (if available). Your second evening in Tsavo ends with dinner under the stars and storytelling by the fire.


3 From Wilderness to the Waves – Tsavo East to Diani Beach

After breakfast and check-out, enjoy a final game drive as you exit the park and begin your road journey toward Kenya’s stunning South Coast. The drive takes approximately 5–6 hours, passing through the historical town of Mombasa . Continue along the scenic coastal road to arrive in Diani Beach in the late afternoon. Check in to your beachfront resort and unwind as the ocean breeze welcomes you to paradise. Enjoy a relaxing evening by the beach or pool.


4 Barefoot Bliss – Full Day in Diani

This is your day to relax and soak up Diani’s charm. After a leisurely breakfast, you may choose to lounge on the beach or take part in optional excursions such as snorkeling at Kisite Marine Park, diving, deep-sea fishing, or exploring nearby attractions like Colobus Conservation or Shimba Hills Reserve. Alternatively, enjoy a spa day, beach camel ride, or a romantic sunset dhow cruise. Return to your resort for a peaceful night with dinner and coastal ambiance.


5 Coastal Farewell – Diani Beach to Nairobi

Wake up for your final morning on the coast.
