Kenya: Safari, Culture & Coast
Kenya: Safari, Culture & Coast
The trip in a nutshell
This is a trip designed and realised entirely by an experienced WeRoad Travel Coordinator. The Coordinator takes care of the whole trip: from defining the itinerary to selecting accommodation and on-site experiences. Via WeRoad website you can book the trip and manage it in your personal area, just like any other WeRoad.
Ever dreamed of waking up to the sight of Mount Kilimanjaro, tracking red-dusted elephants through the savannah, and ending your days with your toes in the sand? This is your Kenya. Our 10-day adventure takes you from the vibrant heart of Nairobi to the raw, untamed beauty of Amboseli and Tsavo East National Parks. You’ll journey through epic landscapes where elephants roam free, lions stalk the plains, and the sky stretches endlessly above. Get ready for golden sunsets, game drives in open 4x4s, and panoramic views that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a nature documentary.
But Kenya’s not just about wildlife — it’s about rhythm and culture, too. After the bush, we head east to Malindi, where the Indian Ocean meets Swahili heritage. Here, your days are filled with marine park adventures, cultural excursions, and long, easy afternoons on the beach. This trip is crafted for curious, energetic travelers who want a balance of action and downtime — the best of Kenya’s wild heart and coastal soul. Pack your sense of wonder. Kenya’s waiting.

Into the wild! - Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park
Get ready for a long one because we'll travel approximately 5 hours to Amboseli National Park. The scenery along the way will show us the beautiful countryside and traditional Maasai homesteads. The long journey it'll be totally worth it when we arrive to panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro (on clear days) and a game drive awaiting us in the afternoon. What will we see? The park is particularly famous for its large herds of free-roaming elephants, often photographed with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. We may also spot lions, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, buffalo, giraffes, and an impressive array of birdlife.
As the sunsets, we'll return to the accommodation to enjoy a hearty group dinner before passing out from all the day's excitement!

Ready for more of the Big 5! - Tsavo East National Park
Tsavo East National Park
We kick off the day with breakfast before hitting the road toward Tsavo East National Park—one of Kenya’s largest and wildest reserves. The drive itself is a treat, with shifting landscapes from Amboseli’s open plains to the rugged, red-dusted terrain of Tsavo.
We arrive at our lodge just in time for lunch and a quick recharge before heading out on an afternoon game drive.
Entering the park, we dive straight into the action—Tsavo East is home to the famous “red elephants,” along with lions, leopards, zebras, and buffalo. We’ll follow the tracks along the Galana River, where hippos and crocodiles bask and birds thrive.
In the evening we head back to the lodge for a group dinner and a relaxing evening under the African sky.

Full Safari Day
Final safari adventure day
Rise and shine—it’s safari day! After an early breakfast, we head out with our picnic lunches for a full-day adventure in the wild heart of Tsavo East. This vast park is home to the famous red elephants, big cats, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, and countless bird species.
We’ll explore iconic spots like the Yatta Plateau (the world’s longest lava flow), the dramatic rapids of Lugard Falls, and Mudanda Rock, where animals gather to drink. The scenery is as unforgettable as the wildlife.
Our guide will share fascinating insights into the park’s ecosystem and help us spot animals throughout the day. We’ll pause for lunch at a scenic picnic site before continuing the adventure. As the afternoon cools, chances of seeing predators rise—so keep your eyes open!
We return in the evening for dinner, stories, and well-earned rest.

From Safari to the Sea: Tsavo to Malindi
Smell the sea air!
This morning, we trade the savannah for the sea! After breakfast, we hit the road eastward, leaving the wilds of Tsavo behind as we journey toward the tropical coast of Malindi.
Along the way, watch the landscape transform—from dusty bushland to lush coastal lowlands dotted with palm trees, villages, and sisal plantations. It’s the perfect chance to soak in Kenya’s incredible geographic and cultural diversity.
By mid-afternoon, we arrive in the laid-back beach town of Malindi and check in to our seaside base. The rest of the day is all ours - we'll kick off our shoes, stroll along the white-sand beaches, or just chill with a cold drink and the sound of the ocean. I mean, we've earned it.

Money pot: tips, any extra activities

Marine Vibes & Swahili Culture
Seaside immersion
Today’s all about soaking up the best of coastal Kenya—above and below the water. We start with a trip to Malindi Marine National Park, where we can hop on a glass-bottom boat or dive in for some snorkeling to explore colorful reefs and tropical fish.
After our ocean adventure, we’ll head back to relax or grab lunch at a beachside café. In the afternoon, we dive into Malindi’s rich Swahili culture with a guided tour of historic landmarks like the Vasco da Gama Pillar and the Portuguese Chapel, plus a wander through vibrant local markets.
Want more? Optional add-ons include a Swahili cooking class, a beachside massage, or a dreamy sunset dhow cruise. Whether we’re exploring or just chilling, today strikes the perfect balance between adventure and downtime on the coast.
Included: breakfast, accommodation
Money pot: tips, Malindi Marine National Park excursion with water sports (optional), guided tour (optional), cooking class (optional)

Sun, sand and sea
Malindi Beach
It’s time to slow down and soak it all in. For the next two days, we embrace the easygoing rhythm of Malindi. Whether we’re lounging on soft white sands, dipping into the warm Indian Ocean, or napping under palm trees with a coconut in hand, these are the days to truly unwind.
For those craving a bit more action, we can explore more of the town, try local Swahili dishes, or join in the lively beachfront vibes where music and laughter flow as freely as the sea breeze.
Feeling indulgent? A spa session, sunset strolls, or a fresh seafood feast are always a good idea. No fixed plans—just freedom to relax, recharge, and enjoy Kenya’s coast at our own pace.

Farewell, Kenya!
Check-out
After one last breakfast by the sea, it’s time to say goodbye—not just to Malindi, but to an unforgettable adventure and the amazing group we’ve shared it with. We’ve crossed savannahs, chased sunsets, and dipped our toes in the Indian Ocean—now, with hearts full and cameras loaded, we begin our journey home. We check out and make our way to Mombasa Airport, carrying not just souvenirs, but stories, new friendships, and the kind of memories that stay with us long after the trip ends. Until the next adventure—kwaheri Kenya.

Available dates
FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
Tour List
Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
