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.
South of Mombasa lies the gorgeous beaches and coral reefs of the South coast. Diani beach hosts the large hotels and resorts, whilst Tiwi beach is more tranquil. A range of activities are offered which can be arranged direct at most hotels.
A mask and snorkel is all that is required to explore the coral reef, whilst windsurfing, water skiing, scuba diving and deep sea fishing are arranged by most hotels. The main centre for serious deep sea fishing is Shimoni 100 km from Mombasa quite close to the border Tanzanian border. Fishing (all along the Kenya coast) is year round except for May and June.
