All About Kenya



Lying on the equator with the Indian Ocean to the south-east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west, Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the north-east, the land of Kenya has always been synonymous with wildlife, a rich culture, vibrant people and its white sandy beaches. 


It boasts an incredible range of wild habitats, each one with its own unique range of species. Open savannah, deep forest, soda and freshwater lakes, alpine meadows, coral reefs, caves, beaches, river deltas and even more.

A safari in Kenya means more than just seeing animals. This is a chance for you to immerse yourself in a wild world where the fascinating natural behaviour and interaction between species will keep you enthralled.

The Kenyan coast boasts some of the best white sandy beaches in the world.
The Lamu archipelago, which is at the northern extreme of the Kenyan coast, has some of the more luxurious and exclusive Kenya beach resorts, so if a luxury Kenyan beach vacation is your aim, you might look here first. For those heading south, Diani Beach is certainly a prime destination to consider, and the well-rounded Diani Reef Beach Resort gets a nod for sure. The reefs found offshore here are excellent for those snorkeling or scuba diving, and if you don't want to get in the water, you can always hitch a ride on a glass-bottomed boat, or dhow. 

Dhows are abundant up the entire Kenya coast, so it's quite easy to arrange trips on them. Funzi Island is another popular southern Kenyan coast beach destination, especially for couples, and day trips to the Kisite Marine National Park are highly recommended if you are visiting the southern Kenya beaches. Deep sea fishing is also something you can add to your Kenya beach vacation itinerary if you are interested, though nobody will fault you if you prefer to spend a day or more simply sunbathing and lounging around.
