Beach and Wildlife
Wildlife safari and combination of the beach is undoubtedly a classic holiday treat. In many aspects, this require guests to overnight in a city hotel to combine the two owing to flight connection times.
One beautiful thing with Kenya is that it’s seemingly endless swathes if Indian Ocean coastal strip is easily accessible from all major safari destinations. This means, on the day you head to the beach you can enjoy a safari in the morning and be on the beach, cocktail in hand by late afternoon.
You’ll be spoilt by the so many spots to choose from, all of which depend on the style of place you want to stay and how much you want to do during your time on the beach.
Kenya’s furthest north coast, Lamu is arguably the most interesting of Kenya’s beach spots, with a fascinating old town, iconic properties and a truly unique feel to it. Just to the south of Lamu, Malindi and Watamu offer visitors a wonderful spot to stay further south and are especially well-known for offering excellent deep-sea fishing.

Last on the coast, Diani Beach furthest south is a great spot if you are looking to really get away from things and relax as it is home to a succession of incredible private villas – perfect for those who love small little things in their luxury.
When to Go
Considered as best safari gem of East Africa, Kenya does get busy. This means, it can pay to be a little sassy with your visiting moments. To be precise, July to October dry season is largely considered to be the best time to visit most parts of Kenya, but August and September in particular are always extremely busy, especially in the Masai Mara as the herds of the Great Migration cross the Mara River. Alternatively, consider a visit in October or November before the short rains begin for a quieter, more exclusive safari experience, or around Christmas and into January and February. This is normally before the long rains start in March and the days are clear, sunny and warm with excellent hunter and the hunted wildlife viewing all over the country. For those who are keen to visit Kenya’s coast, the weather trend is largely the same as the rest of the country making it pretty easier to plan a bush and beach experince too.
