Whichever option you choose, finish the day with a boat ride on Lake Naivasha and return to Nairobi. Trips on Lake Naivasha are usually included in a day trip to Hell’s Gate or Mount Longonot. However, you can drive to the lake yourself and book the tour from there.
You can spend the night in a relaxed hotel like the Radisson Blu which has a nice restaurant for dinner.

After breakfast in Nairobi, fly out of Wilson Airport to your selected safari lodge in the world-renowned Masai Mara Game Reserve. Enjoy a game drive tracking the big five and possibly even experience the great wildebeest migration.

After breakfast, wave Masai Mara goodbye and fly back to Nairobi. Spend some time sightseeing the capital on foot, visiting a gift market, and taking in the city’s important landmarks and monuments.
You’ll then fly out of Kenya, (perhaps wishing you had more time to explore the Kenyan coast).

To reduce non-safari travel time, consider flying between cities and game reserves. You can also visit attractions that are close to each other.

The best way to experience Tsavo West National Park is by joining a tour. Besides being reasonably priced it’s conducted by professional guides knowledgeable about the park.
Day 5 – 6 (Beach Relaxation in Diani or Watamu)
Start the day with a game drive and then transfer to Mombasa. You can drive to the city or catch a train in Voi town. From Mombasa, head south to Diani Beach or north to Watamu Beach. Spend two days relaxing, partying, or engaging in watersports activities.
If you happen to choose Watamu Beach, I would recommend staying at the Watamu Doum. The beach cottage is beautiful and it’s located close to some great restaurants such as the Crab Shack Dabaso. The Sands at Nomad is an excellent place to sleep and dine in Diani Beach.
Day 7 (Fly to Nairobi and Depart)
It’s time to wave Kenya goodbye! Enjoy your last day at the beach before flying back to Nairobi. From here, connect with your flight home or to your next destination.
10-Day Kenya Itinerary (Wildlife Experience and Beach Vacation)
Planning an itinerary for a 10-day trip to Kenya isn’t easy. There’s so much to see, and the time is short.
In this 10-day Kenya itinerary, I’ve added some of the best places to visit in Kenya. It includes exploring Nairobi, 3 days in Masai Mara, 2 days in Amboseli, and a short stay along the Kenyan coast.

Day 1 (Arrive in Kenya via JKIA)
Your flight will likely land at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Once you arrive, spend time getting oriented with Nairobi and Kenya in general.
You can also go out for dinner in a local restaurant before relaxing in your Nairobi hotel. Make sure you get a good night’s kip for an exciting 10-day Kenya tour.
There are many places to stay in Nairobi including hotels, Airbnbs, and campsites. My favorite is the Wildebeest Eco Camp in Karen. It’s an impressive tented camp and a perfect base for your trips within the city.
Day 2 (Nairobi City Experience)
On your first safari day in Kenya, go for a Nairobi wildlife experience at the Nairobi National Park. From there, visit the nearby wildlife centers and learn about their conservation efforts.
The Elephant Sanctuary is open between 11 am and 12 pm daily, while the Giraffe Center is open until 5 pm. Make sure to stop at the Karen Blixen Museum and Bomas of Kenya.
Day 3 (Mount Longonot & Lake Naivasha)
Leave Nairobi early to hike up Mount Longonot, and stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. After the trek, go on a boat tour of Lake Naivasha for close-up views of hippos and various birds.
The boat tour is usually included in the day hike, however, you can drive to Karagita Beach and book a boat ride if you prefer. The ride costs around $20 for a group of up to 6 people. The boat tour can also be arranged from your hotel, campsite, resort, or Airbnb in Naivasha.
After the day trip, go for dinner at Ranch House Bistro and party at Bubbles Lounge. Spend the night in Naivasha and prepare for the next day’s journey to Masai Mara.
Day 4 – 6 (Masai Mara National Reserve)
Continue your trip in the South Rift circuit by transferring to Masai Mara National Reserve. A 3-day adventure here is enough to spot the big five, other wildlife, and many bird species. It’s also an opportunity to experience the spectacular wildebeest migration.
Besides game drives, you can go on a hot air balloon ride, take a horseback safari, and enjoy nature walks in the Mara.
After the 3-day Masai Mara experience, check out of your tented camp and travel to Amboseli. The fastest way to the Amboseli from Masai Mara is by air. However, you’ll most likely be on a guided multi-day safari that takes care of the transfers.
Day 7 (Amboseli National Park)
After transferring from Masai Mara, take a game drive in the famous Amboseli National Park to see elephants and other wild animals. You’ll also get a chance to view Mount Kilimanjaro (the Roof of Africa). Travel to Mombasa the following day after breakfast.
There are several affordable day trips to Amboseli from Nairobi. These trips are usually organized by local travel groups and are listed on social media websites like Facebook. If you’re on a multi-day safari trip, your tour company will cater for the transfers and game drives within the park. All you have to do is turn up ready for adventure!
Day 8 -9 (Sun, Sand & Surf)
Arrive in Mombasa and spend two days exploring the Kenyan coast. If you’re into white sands and diving, travel south to Diani Beach, and if you fancy a mixture of history, sand, and surf, head north to Kilifi and Watamu.
Kilifi is my favorite coastal destination in Kenya. It’s affordable and has everything a traveler looks for in a beach location. Watamu Beach is also close by.
One of my favorite places to stay in Kilifi is Distant Relatives. This backpacker’s hostel brings together a community of global travelers and unites them with good food, partying, and unique experiences. From the hostel, you can go on a dinner dhow cruise, visit a local village or explore the beach.
My best experience here is the bioluminescence (the ocean glows at night) on the beach. You can go swimming at Kilifi Creek to experience this unique spectacle of light.
Day 10 (Circle Back to Nairobi and Depart)
On your last day in Kenya, wake up early for a beach walk. Travel to Nairobi (flight or train) and connect with your departure flight. Make sure to visit a local market for some gifts and mementos to take home with you.

Make sure you visit Nairobi National Museum, Railways Museum, and the August 7th Memorial Park and monuments. Most of these places to visit in Nairobi are cheap or completely free.
You can spend your evening exploring the food scene or nightlife in Nairobi. For a delicious local meal, go to Kilimanjaro Restaurant or Ronalo Foods Restaurant. The icon Sarova Stanely hotel is a great place to sleep and grab a cold Tusker beer or two.
Day 3 (Central Circuit – Aberdares)
Take a day trip (preferably a guided tour) from Nairobi to the Aberdares. You can choose any activity that takes your fancy in the National Park. These may include chasing the magnificent Karuru Falls or hiking the challenging elephant hills trail.
The best way to explore the Aberdares is to join a hiking event organized by local groups like Let’s Drift.
After completing your trip to the Aberdares, head back to Nairobi and enjoy a nice dinner before taking a rest in your hotel.
Day 4 (Central Circuit – Nanyuki)
Travel to Nanyuki in the morning and spend the afternoon on a game drive at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. It’s one of the best places in Kenya to get close to rhinos and other wildlife.
Ol Pejeta is located close to Nanyuki town and it’s easily accessible. If you’re not already on a guided safari, request your accommodation facility in Nanyuki to arrange a taxi ride to the conservancy.
Spend your evening in Nanyuki experiencing the town’s vibrant nightlife at Moran Lounge after having dinner at the Nook Cafe.
Day 5 (Drive to Naivasha Town)
Enjoy breakfast at the Dorman’s Coffee Shop in Nanyuki and head to Naivasha to begin exploring the South Rift circuit. Make sure you stop at the equator crossing, Thomson Falls in Nyahururu, and the Great Rift Valley viewpoint in Subukia.
Naivasha is one of the most popular places to visit in Kenya. There are many tourist attractions, places to stay, and good restaurants.
Once you arrive, enjoy dinner at the La Belle Inn hotel in town. If you’re staying in a resort along the Moi South Lake road, Racho House Bistro is the best place to eat.
Day 6 (Hell’s Gate and Lake Naivasha)
Spend the day riding in the wild while enjoying the beautiful landscapes and sights of wildlife at Hell’s Gate National Park. You can also visit the Olkaria Geothermal Spa for a swim or take a boat ride on Lake Naivasha from Karagita Beach.
Hell’s Gate is one of the few parks in Kenya where travelers have the option of driving, walking, or cycling in the wild. You can hire a bike at the main gate and ride in the park viewing wild animals as you enjoy wonderful landscapes and rock towers from a different perspective.
Visits to these places are usually part of a guided safari. However, if you’re traveling independently, you can arrange for a taxi from your accommodation facility in Naivasha. No advance booking is required for these attraction sites.
Day 7 – 9 (Masai Mara National Reserve)
Transfer to the Masai Mara and explore the world-famous game reserve for the next three days. While here, go for game drives and nature walks, and take to the skies in a hot-air balloon safari. In the evening you can relax in a camp and watch the African sunset.
Game drives and other activities can be arranged from the accommodation facilities in Masai Mara. You can also join a guided safari which takes care of the logistics on your behalf.
Before you leave the Mara, spend some time with the Maasai people. Visit their homesteads and learn about their beautiful culture and traditions. You can also spend a night in this Maasai traditional clay house for more personal interactions.
Day 10 (Tsavo East National Park)
After the Mara experience, travel south to Tsavo East National Park for more fun. Track the big five and see highlights like Mudanda Rock and Lugard Falls.
Voi Wildlife Lodge is the best place to stay while visiting Tsavo East. It features elegant rooms, a restaurant, a spa, and a balcony overlooking a waterhole for elephants.
Day 11 – 12 (Beach Relaxation)
After the action-packed 10-day Kenya tour of Nairobi and game parks, it’s hard to say no to a little beach relaxation. Catch the Madaraka Express train at Mtito Andei station and head to Mombasa.
Here you can travel to Diani Beach (south coast) or Watamu Beach (north coast). Both destinations have beautiful beaches and are perfect for diving and other watersport activities.
There are many places to eat and accommodation facilities to be found along the Kenyan coast. However, you can never go wrong staying at Medina Palms, Watamu, or The Sands at Nomad, Diani.
Nomad Beach Bar & Restaurant (Diani) and Crab Shack Dabaso (Watamu) are excellent food spots.
Day 13 (Lamu Archipelago)
Lamu is one of the best destinations in Kenya. Fly into Manda Airport and explore the Lamu Old Town on foot, stroll along Shela Beach, or take a dhow ride to Manda island.
After a long day exploring the old town, enjoy Swahili cuisine at the Seafront Cafe and then relax in one of the Airbnbs on Lamu Island.
Day 14 (Transfer to Nairobi and Depart)
It’s time to say goodbye to Kenya. Transfer to Nairobi (Bus or flight) and connect to your flight home or your next destination.
Kenya Safari Circuits
Kenya is a significant safari destination in the world. The country is divided into smaller safari destinations called Kenya safari circuits or tourism regions.
A safari circuit is a Kenya route on which at least three tourist destinations are located with well-defined points of entry and exit.
8 Kenya Safari Circuits
Here are 8 of the most popular safari circuits in Kenya.
Central Kenya Circuit: Includes the Aberdares, Mount Kenya, and Mount Longonot.
Coastline Circuit: Consists of 6 marine parks and reserves, Arabuko Sokoke, Tana River Primate Center, and Shimba Hills National Reserve.
Nairobi Circuit: This region includes Nairobi National Park, Safari Walk, and Animal Orphanage.
Eastern Circuit: It includes the Samburu National Reserve, Meru National Park, Buffalo Springs, and Shaba Reserve, among others.
North Rift Circuit: Consists of the Laikipia Plateau, Marsabit National Park, Nasolot National Reserve, and the 3 Lake Turkana National Parks.

Getting Around Kenya
When planning your Kenya itinerary, it’s important to know the best modes of transportation to get you from point A to point B in the country. Here, I’ll share the best ways to get around Kenya.
Fly Domestic
Flying between cities and game reserves in Kenya is the best option. It saves time and allows you to visit more destinations on the Kenya itinerary.
Several local flights and charter services operate to safari parks, beach towns, and major cities. These include AirKenya, Fly 540, Jambojet, and Tropic Air, which cost between $50-$200.
Join an Organized Tour in Kenya
If you’re on a budget safari, chances are you’ll want to avoid the high cost of flying around Kenya. An alternative to flights is joining a guided tour that usually includes transfers to and from your hotel.
Guided tours are run by experienced guides/drivers. They are affordable and cover the most exciting sights in Kenya.
Hire a Personal Driver/Guide
Hiring a driver/guide to take you on the best Kenya tour is highly recommended. You’ll feel much safer traveling around with a local and exploring the country from a local’s perspective. Kenyans are hospitable, and they are always ready to share their knowledge and stories and answer any questions you may have.
You can hire a driver/guide from reputable travel companies in Kenya or request your hotel to arrange for the services. Roadtrip Africa is one of the most professional companies for renting 4×4 vehicles with a driver/guide.
Rent a Vehicle
If you’ll be in Kenya for more than 3 days and feel comfortable driving on Kenyan roads, renting a vehicle is a great option. Several reputable car-hire companies like Road Trip Africa deal with 4WD safari vehicles. Renting a car for a day costs $30 upward daily.
Take a Train Ride
If you plan to visit coastal destinations like Diani Beach, Watamu, and Kilifi, consider taking a train. Kenya has a modern railway with trains connecting Nairobi and Mombasa.
There are daily trains from each city and each train has first-class ($30) and economy-class ($10) coaches. Three more trains connect the capital to Kisumu, Nanyuki, and Suswa.
Hire a Taxi
You can choose to hire a taxi if you’ve limited time on hand. Kenya’s most popular ride-hailing services are Uber, Bolt, and inDriver. However, hiring a taxi isn’t ideal for trips to safari parks and game reserves.
Public Transport (Matatus)
Shared matatus (minibus) are Kenya’s most popular form of public transport. Although they are cheap and offer a local vibe, I don’t recommend them if you’re short on time.
Public Transport (Buses)
Unlike Matatus, long-distance buses are grand. They are fantastic alternatives to trains and flights traveling between towns and cities. These buses are usually affordable, safe, reliable, comfortable, and relatively fast.
Cycling Your Way Around Kenya
If you’re an adventurous traveler, you could cycle around Kenya. The Kenyan climate and terrain are very favorable for biking. You can bring your bike, hire, or even buy one in Nairobi.
Take caution if you choose to cycle on Kenyan roads; lookout for dangerous drivers and be aware of road conditions.
Other Ways Around Kenya
There are other ways of traveling around Kenya. Although they are worth trying, they are not ideal for long journeys. These include taking a motorcycle taxi and riding in a tuk-tuk.
FAQs About Kenya Itinerary
Below are answers to some commonly asked questions about Kenya Itinerary to help you craft a perfect trip.
A safari is a good bet in January
I suggest spending at least two weeks in Kenya. However, if you’re short on time, five days in Kenya is enough to visit national parks, explore beaches, and experience its culture.
July and October are the best times to visit Kenya and go on safari. It’s the year’s dry season, coinciding with the famous Great Migration in Masai Mara.
If you only have 3 days in Kenya, spend two days visiting Nairobi National Park and exploring the city streets. Take a day trip to Amboseli National Park or Hell’s Gate National Park on the third day.
One week in Kenya is enough time to experience the country’s highlights. This excludes the time spent traveling between game reserves, beaches, and cities.
In my experience as a local tour guide in Kenya, you need 5 – 14 days to enjoy your Kenyan safari sufficiently. This time allows you to visit at least two national parks, explore a city, and relax on the beach.
If you don’t know how many days to spend in Masai Mara, I’d suggest 3 days plus travel time. This is sufficient time to go for game drives, explore the Maasai culture and relax.
The animals include African buffalo, elephant, black rhino, lion, and leopard.
Did You Choose Your Kenya Itinerary?
Kenya is a favorite safari destination for many people for a reason. It’s rich in wildlife, culture, and alluring beaches. Whether you have a day, five days, a week, or a month in the country, there’ll always be something exciting for you to discover.
So, no matter your budget, available time, and interests, I hope this article helps you create a perfect Kenya itinerary.
