Overview
The 8 Days Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara & Diani Beach Safari is a 8-day safari through Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara & Diani Beach, Kenya, designed and operated by Saringi Tours. Based in Nairobi and women-led, Saringi has been building private African itineraries since 2018. This route takes in Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Diani, with each day sequenced to put you in the right place at the right time for wildlife.
Bush and beach is one of East Africa's most satisfying combinations, and this 8-day itinerary gets the balance right: proper wildlife days in prime game country, then a coastal or island stay to wind down. Transfers, accommodation, and logistics are all managed by the Saringi team in Nairobi. Dates, lodge category, and duration can be adjusted to suit your schedule.
Trip Highlights
Lake Nakuru: flamingos on the alkaline soda lake, black and white rhino, Rothschild giraffe
Maasai Mara: three nights in the Kingdom of Lions with cheetah, leopard and migration herds
Direct flight: Maasai Mara to Diani Beach airstrip in 1.5 hours
Diani Beach: three nights of pristine Indian Ocean coastline and white coral sand

Day-by-Day Itinerary
Pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport at 7 am and drive northwest to Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving by mid-morning. Your first game drive is en route to the lodge through the park: Lake Nakuru's alkaline soda lake draws millions of flamingos and a remarkable concentration of waterbirds. Check in for lunch, then an afternoon game drive through the yellow fever acacia woodland where Rothschild giraffes roam and a thriving white and black rhino population can be tracked on foot. Look for buffalo, waterbuck and the lake's famous lion prides.
