Kenya’s SWAHILI COAST extends for 536 Kms from its Southern border with Tanzania to Somalia in the North. The warm blue waters of the Indian Ocean lick its shores and much of the shoreline is covered by a continuous strip of magnificent white soft sand beach, protected by an unspoilt coral reef that has been compared in equal terms to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Red Sea Coral Reef.
Forests of mangroves to the south are home to an overwhelming amount of birdlife, interspersed with blue lagoons and creeks. History’s turbulent past has been unearthed through ancient ruins which are worth exploring for an eerie glimpse into times gone. Likewise, the striking and colourful mixture of people and cultures make the coast a prime destination to visit.
These attractions coupled with a variety of entertainment and superb accommodation facilities ensure that nature and sun lovers and the young and old can slowly unwind after a hot and dusty safari! We can arrange accommodation in the coast.
The island city of Mombasa is the largest city on the coast and largest coastal port in East Africa and has a refreshingly relaxed atmosphere. The most interesting part of Mombasa is the old town – with it medieval charm, winding alleyways and interesting Swahili houses. Fort Jesus is the domineering tourist attraction – a museum with exhibits reflecting the variety of cultures that traded along the coast.
