Imagine the thrill of watching a lioness stalk through the golden plains of the Maasai Mara, followed just days later by the feeling of warm, white sand between your toes as you gaze out at the Indian Ocean. This isn't two different holidays—it's the perfectly balanced adventure offered by Orienjo’s signature 10-Day Kenya Big 5 Safari & Mombasa Beach Vacation.

This isn't just a tour; it's a private, seamless journey designed for those who want to experience the very best of Kenya without compromise. Here’s a detailed look at what makes this specific itinerary so unforgettable.

Why This 10-Day Itinerary is the Perfect Kenya Experience

The Best of Both Worlds, Perfectly Planned: This itinerary doesn't make you choose. You will spend four incredible days on safari, exploring two of Kenya's most famous parks: the vast Maasai Mara Game Reserve and the stunning Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its rhinos and flamingo-dotted shores. This is followed by a relaxing five-night stay on the coast.

Guaranteed Privacy and Comfort: From the moment you land, this is your trip. You will travel in an exclusive safari vehicle with a guaranteed window seat and be led by your own professional, English-speaking driver-guide. You will not be sharing with any other travellers, ensuring a personal and intimate experience.

Iconic Wildlife Encounters: The safari portion is designed to maximize your chances of seeing the "Big Five" (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, and Buffalo). If you travel between July and October, you may even witness the phenomenal Great Migration in the Maasai Mara.

Authentic Beach Relaxation in Mombasa: Your coastal escape is a five-night stay at the renowned 5-star Voyager Beach Resort in Mombasa. This isn't just any beach hotel; it’s a destination chosen specifically for its quality, beachfront location, and all-inclusive comfort, providing a truly relaxing end to your adventure.

The Flow of Your Adventure: From Savannah to Sea

This tour is expertly paced to balance travel and discovery with relaxation.

Days 1-4: The Classic Safari: After arriving in Nairobi and resting at the 4-star Sarova Panafric Hotel, your journey takes you into the heart of the wild. You'll have multiple game drives across the Maasai Mara from your base at the Mara Sopa Lodge, followed by a trip to Lake Nakuru Lodge to seek out its unique wildlife.

Day 5: The Seamless Journey to the Coast: This is where the itinerary truly shines. You have a choice: embark on a scenic, 8.5-hour First Class train journey through the Kenyan landscape, or opt for a quick and efficient 45-minute flight to get you to the beach faster. We handle all the transfers.

Days 6-10: The Ultimate Beach Escape: The second half of your trip is all about leisure at the Voyager Beach Resort. With no scheduled activities, your days are free to relax by the pool, enjoy the beach, or take an optional tour of Mombasa before your final departure.
