Bush & beach safari holidays
The best of both worlds
Game drives in the national parks, then days by the Indian Ocean. One trip, planned as one.
Bush and beach in Kenya
Why the two belong together
Balance
Action-packed game drives followed by time to do very little.
Variety
From savannah plains to turquoise water in a single journey.
Easy links
Straightforward connections from the Masai Mara, Amboseli or Tsavo to Diani Beach, Malindi, Watamu and Lamu.
Who it suits
Honeymooners
Luxury camps and secluded beachfront villas.
Families
Child-friendly safaris and safe, shallow beaches.
Adventure seekers
Game drives, kite surfing, diving and cultural tours.
