Beach Holidays

The endless pristine white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the East African coastline create the perfect backdrop to a remarkable beach holiday. Some of the activities that you can take part in are snorkeling, diving, deep-sea fishing and kite surfing, excursions to Mombasa, Malindi and Shimba Hills, cycling tours and dhow trips.

You can also choose to head north to Lamu, a tropical island where life is lived at its own relaxed rhythm and whose history is as mysterious and fascinating as the winding streets of its medieval Stone Town.
