About this experience
The perfect best-of-both-worlds week. Start in Amboseli for the great elephant herds and Kilimanjaro at dawn, then fly to the coast for four nights of Diani's powder-white sand, warm reef-protected water and a dhow at sunset. We handle the connecting flight and every transfer so you go from game drive to beach towel without a hitch.

Signature experiences
Optional extras we can add to this trip. Prices are per person and confirmed when you book.
Sail the reef lagoon on a traditional wooden dhow as the sun sets — often with fresh seafood and drinks aboard.
Spend an hour in a working manyatta — the jumping dance, fire-making, and a look at daily Maasai life, hosted by the community itself.
Chilled drinks on a ridge as the sun drops and the sky turns — a quiet, golden end to a day of game drives.
On foot with an armed ranger — tracks, plants, birds and the small details a vehicle drives straight past.
Day by day
What each day looks like, from pickup in Nairobi to drop-off.
Drive south to Amboseli. Afternoon game drive — first elephants within the hour, Kili catching the evening light.
Sunrise drive for clear Kilimanjaro, then the big elephant herds in the swamps. Observation Hill at sunset.
Morning drive, then fly to the coast. Transfer to your Diani beachfront resort for the first toes-in-the-sand evening.
A slow beach day, then an afternoon dhow cruise — snorkel the reef, sundowners on a sand bar.
Boat trip to snorkel with turtles and dolphins, with a Swahili seafood lunch on Wasini Island.
Yours to do nothing — or dive, kite-surf, or visit a coastal forest. We'll arrange whatever you fancy.
A last swim and breakfast, then transfer to the airport for your flight back to Nairobi.

Common questions
Why fly between the safari and the beach?+
It's a long drive from Amboseli to Diani; the internal flight turns most of a day on the road into a short hop, so you get more beach and less transfer. It's built into this package.
Is this good for families?+
Ideal — Amboseli has short, productive drives and the Diani reef makes a calm, shallow lagoon that's safe for kids. We pick family-friendly properties with pools.
When should we go?+
December to March for hot, dry beach weather and clear Kili; July to October is cooler and also excellent. We avoid the April–June long rains on the coast.
