Nairobi
A city base for arrivals, museums, meals and the business part of a combined visit.
Include in my enquiry →Kenya
Wide-open plains. A coast worth slowing down for.
Build a journey between wildlife country, Nairobi and the Indian Ocean. Kenya suits a first safari, a return trip with a particular wildlife interest, or a few unhurried days beyond a business visit.

Discover Kenya
Choose the rhythm before the route. A Mara-focused trip gives you time to return to the same landscape in changing light; adding Amboseli or the northern conservancies changes the habitat as well as the driving. The coast can be a separate chapter rather than a hurried final night. Nairobi also deserves room in the plan for food, museums or meetings. For families, fewer bases often work better than a long checklist of parks.
Shape the route
Begin with Nairobi and one wildlife region. Add a second habitat only when the available nights justify another transfer, then consider Diani, Watamu or Lamu for a coastal finish. Mara conservancies and the national reserve have different access arrangements: specify the actual location and permitted activities when comparing stays.

Include in my enquiry →When to go
Broad seasonal guidance, not a forecast. Your exact route, interests and local operating conditions should determine the dates.
January–February
Often a drier interval in many safari areas; coastal heat and local differences still matter.
March–May
Long-rain planning period. Allow route flexibility and confirm road access for the specific parks.
June–October
Common dry-season safari window; popular areas can be busy. Migration movements do not follow guaranteed dates.
November–December
Short rains can change road conditions and bring greener scenery; holiday demand varies.
Wildlife & nature
These are interests to discuss, not a promise of sightings. Ask about the specific habitat and responsible viewing arrangements.

Practical & responsible travel guide →Kenya travel questions
Should I combine the Mara and the coast?
It can work well if you protect time for both and account for the transfer between them. Start with your total nights and arrival/departure points rather than assuming a same-day connection.
Is the migration guaranteed?
No. Herd movements, rain and river crossings are variable. Build a worthwhile wildlife trip even if a particular event does not happen.
Is this a confirmed booking?
No. An enquiry starts a planning conversation. Routes, accommodation, activities, local providers, prices and booking terms are confirmed separately before you commit.
Does Duara operate everything directly?
Duara coordinates suitable local travel, accommodation and transport partners where required. We do not claim a continent-wide fleet or guaranteed inventory.
