The Masai Mara & Zanzibar Escape
Seamlessly blend world-class game viewing with coastal relaxation on the idyllic shores of the Indian Ocean on a 10-day luxury escape.

Combine a Kenya safari with Diani Beach or Zanzibar: bush and beach holidays from 10 to 13 days, private guide, priced per person in USD.
A safari and beach holiday gives you the two best halves of East Africa in one trip: early starts and game drives in the bush, then slow days on the Indian Ocean coast. Every itinerary on this page starts in Kenya and finishes by the sea, either at Diani Beach on the Kenyan south coast or on the island of Zanzibar. Each is a private safari with your own guide and vehicle for the safari section.
The ten-day Bush and Beach runs Amboseli and Tsavo before Diani; the eleven-day Great Bush and Beach Experience adds the Masai Mara. Both end at Diani with white sand, dhow trips and snorkelling. Each lists its route, length and starting price per person. If you prefer to stay in one country, these are the simpler choices. Zydee also offers the ten-day Masai Mara and Zanzibar Escape, which follows the Mara and the Serengeti with a finish on Zanzibar, and the thirteen-day East Africa Ultimate Safari, which adds more of Kenya and Tanzania before the island.
Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, so those routes are a multi-country trip. That means a border crossing between Kenya and Tanzania, a flight to the island, and possibly separate entry requirements. We handle the logistics and tell you what to arrange yourself, but visa rules change, so check your own situation and confirm with us before you book. International flights and visas are not included in our prices.
Prices are in US dollars per person. Brochure packages show the lowest rate, for five or six travellers sharing in low season, and the price goes up for smaller groups and in peak weeks. Final rates are confirmed at booking. Tell us on WhatsApp how many nights you want on the beach and which coast you prefer, and we will recommend the right itinerary and adjust it to suit.
Safari game viewing is best from June to October and again from January and February. April and May are the wettest months on both the safari circuit and the coast, so the beach can be rainy then. Because the two halves have different seasons, tell us your dates and we will check the combination before you commit.
Prices are in US dollars. Shorter itineraries are listed first.

Yes. Our bush and beach itineraries run for 10 to 13 days and finish at Diani Beach in Kenya or on Zanzibar, so you get game drives first and rest afterwards.
No. Zanzibar belongs to Tanzania. Routes that finish on the island therefore cross from Kenya into Tanzania and include a flight to Zanzibar.
Entry rules depend on your nationality and change from time to time. International flights and visas are not included in our prices, so check the current requirements for both Kenya and Tanzania before you travel and ask us if you are unsure.
Diani keeps the whole trip in Kenya. Zanzibar suits travellers who also want the Serengeti and a second country. Tell us how long you have and we will recommend one.
