Kenya Coast

The turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean beckon. What better way to conclude your Kenyan safari than among the sandy beaches and mangrove-lined creeks of the coast, watching traditional dhows set sail at sunset.

Why the Kenya Coast?
This region is dominated by its fringing coral reef, which spans nearly the full length of Kenya’s coastline. The coral creates naturally sheltered lagoons hiding caves and the remains of ancient coral reefs while fine, powdery sand fills the beaches and leads the way to pleasantly warm water – no surprise that swimming, snorkelling and diving are all popular coastal activities. Enjoy a boat tour and catch a glimpse of dolphins or whales, or catch the sunset from the water.

Back on dry land, Kenya’s coast makes for a lovely wellness getaway. Stunning beachfront resorts feature luxurious spas, fitness centres and quiet beaches for relaxation. From the vibrant Swahili culture in the Lamu archipelago to the bustling streets of Mombasa city, no trip to Kenya is complete without seeing its spectacular shoreline.
  • Incredible beachfront resorts.
  • Pleasant water temperature in the Indian Ocean.
  • Water activities including swimming, snorkelling and diving.
  • Variety of wellness and spa treatments.
  • Sunset cruises in traditional dhows.
  • Whale and dolphin watching.
