Safaris to the Coast

Where safari dust meets salt.

You've tracked lions at dawn and eaten red dust for days. Now the Indian Ocean is waiting: warm water, white sand and nobody asking you to be up at 5:30.

Welcome to the Kenya Coast

Five hundred kilometres of reef, palm and Swahili history.

Kenya's coast runs from the Tanzanian border north to Lamu, a ribbon of coral-fringed beaches, mangrove creeks and old trading towns. South of Mombasa, Diani Beach is the classic safari finish: long white sand, kite surfing and dhow days to Wasini Island. North of Mombasa, Nyali, Bamburi and Shanzu give easy resort stays, while Kilifi, Watamu and Malindi trade crowds for marine parks, turtles and quiet coves.
