KENYAN COAST & BEACH SAFARIS

After all the activity in the parks and if time allows, it is worthwhile to let go and relax on a white sandy palm-fringed beach beside the clear blue water of the Indian Ocean. Stay for a few days to enjoy the cool nights, gentle breeze and the sound of waves lapping on the shore. You can choose to either go to Mombasa, Malindi, Lamu or Zanzibar. All our safaris combine well with beach extension.

The Kenyan coast is lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean. Here the wilderness meets the sea, and the ocean itself holds a world of spectacular coral reefs teeming with life and color.

The coast is a place with a long and exotic history, its calm blue waters the traditional passage of the Arabian Spice Trade. This blend of natural beauty and living history creates an exotic paradise unlike anywhere else on earth.
