7-Day Mara & Diani Beach Holiday – Safari Then Tropical Coast

7 Days 6 Nights

Overview

A Mara Diani Beach safari is Kenya’s most beloved and classic travel combination, pairing the heart-pounding excitement of Big Five game drives in the world-famous Maasai Mara with the blissful relaxation of Diani Beach’s white coral sand, warm turquoise Indian Ocean waters, and swaying coconut palms. This 7-day bush and beach holiday captures the extraordinary diversity that makes Kenya Africa’s most complete travel destination, seamlessly combining the raw drama of wildlife on the open savannah with the sensory pleasure of one of the Indian Ocean coast’s finest beaches. The Maasai Mara delivers four days of immersive safari, including morning and afternoon game drives through territory where lion prides, leopards, cheetah, and elephant herds create daily theatrical wildlife encounters. Then a short domestic flight from the Mara to Ukunda airstrip on the south Kenya coast transports you in just over an hour from the golden grasslands to the coral reef-fringed shores of Diani Beach. Diani is consistently rated among Africa’s top beaches, with over 17 kilometres of powdery white sand, crystal-clear water perfect for snorkelling and diving on the nearby Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park, and a vibrant mix of beach restaurants, watersports, and sunset dhow cruises. This Mara Diani Beach holiday is ideal for couples celebrating anniversaries, families seeking both adventure and relaxation, and anyone who wants to experience the full wonder of Kenya in a single perfectly crafted week.

Highly recommend Kelvin of Rustic Nature Tours. We saw his great reviews on Facebook. We wanted to be in a small group and to visit the elephants orphanage and giraffe santiary in Nairobi. Kevin delivered all this and took us to a wonderful community project making beautiful beads. We highly recommend Kelvin and his professionalism.

We wanted to be in a small group and wanted to do a half day tour to experience the amazing elephant orphanage in Nairobi National Park and the giraffes sanctuary. We also didn’t want to have to go out too early having only just arrived. Kelvin of ‘Rustic Nature Tours’ delivered this all perfectly for us. A she took us to a community project supporting local women with making beautiful beads which was wonderful. He was very knowledgable and interesting and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and this company. They also do all sorts of Safaris so we will contact him again when we return. PS please note separate to any tour booking the guest must pay a park fee per person and it’s best to do this in advance via the National park website

Found Rustic tours via a recommendation on Facebook as I needed a Nairobi layover tour guide. Contacted Kelvin and we agreed quickly on what to do and see. He picked us up on airport in the morning in his crazy safari car and we saw downtown, giraffes and we did the Nairobi safari. Got to day that I laughed a lot with Kelvin as he is a great person! He did everything he could so we could see as much as possible in our short time window. See you again my friend!

Had a long layover and booked this last minute. So glad I did! Nicole kept our bags in the car and took us back to the airport after the drive. What a drive! Saw a family of rhinos and a pride of lions. Nicole also recommended a Kenyan cuisine restaurant when we asked. She was very knowledgeable, funny, and we really enjoyed our time with her and the tour. Recommend to everyone

What a fantastic day tour to Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick’s Elephant Orphanage, and a surprise garden lunch. Our guide, Calvin, a top notch birder and guide paced the day perfectly and provided us with an excellent experience! We have travelled to Kenya multiple times, but our private tour with Rustic Nature Tours and Calvin in particular ranks as a highlight among our experiences.

The sights were once in a lifetime - elephant orphanage and giraffe sanctuary worth a trip to Nairobi. Kelvin, our guide, was great - picked us up on time, pointed out animals on the way, was full of information. Will refer any friends visiting Nairobi his way!
