Overview
Kenya's Complete Circuit
This 14-day Magical Kenya Experience is our signature Kenya program — designed to capture the full spectrum of what makes Kenya extraordinary. From the cultural heritage of Nairobi and the sweeping drama of the Maasai Mara to the serene shores of Naivasha and the turquoise waters of Diani Beach, every day delivers something genuinely unforgettable.
The route: Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Naivasha → Nairobi → Diani Beach → Nairobi. We use the world-class SGR (Standard Gauge Railway) first-class train for the Nairobi–Mombasa transfer — a scenic, comfortable journey that is itself a highlight.
Pricing starts from USD 1,958 per person (shared rooms, low season), USD 2,340 mid season, and USD 2,650 high season. All accommodation, park fees, transport, guided activities, and SGR train tickets are included.
