Kenya Beach and Island tours
Kenya Beach and Island tours : When you imagine your ideal safari in Kenya, you might picture yourself cruising through the savannah plains in a safari vehicle. Seeing a zebra foal born or a lioness with expertise take down her prey may be the highlight of your day. Maybe you look forward to the exhilarating pace of Masai Mara National Reserve’s Great Wildebeest Migration. Spending your days walking along beautiful sand beaches with turquoise water lapping at your feet is something you might not think about. Unbelievably, Kenya is a fantastic coastal location. The best part is that some of Kenya’s most beautiful beaches and islands, such as Msambweni, Funzi, Che Chale in Malindi, Galu, and Lamu, provide complete seclusion together with a variety of land and sea activities.
Kenya Safaris encourages you to investigate the potential of adding a coastal experience to your fast-paced wildlife trip of Kenya. You are drawn into the allure of Kenya’s numerous beaches by the contrast between the silky white sand and the azure blue water. Every beachside location offers a different experience to fit each visitor’s individual preferences. The bustling beaches on Mombasa’s North Coast are ideal for budget travellers, particularly families, and those who wish to be near the mainland.
The beaches of Watamu are another favourite among our elderly guests and families. Scattered with coconut palm palms that sway in the gentle sea breezes, the major beachside area is adjacent to a marine reserve. The Mnarani Ruins and a range of water activities may be found at Shauri Moyo Beach, the smaller of the two beaches on the south coast of Kilifi, which is separated by a stream bridge. A small beach area with an inexpensive accommodation is also located along Kilifi Creek. On the north side of Bofa, where the beach is longer, people frequently relax. A breathtaking variety of colourful aquatic life may be seen beneath the warm Indian Ocean, which lies just beyond Kenya’s beaches.
One of the best places in the world for diving and snorkelling is the second-longest barrier reef in the world, which is located in Kenya. Snorkelers and divers can explore the reefs of Mombasa Marine Park and Kisite Marine Park on the city’s north and south shores. Although diving beneath the surface displays reef walls that will entice even the most seasoned diver, the views from the water’s surface are breathtaking. But there are more coral reef places in Kenya! When you’re on an African marine holiday, Watamu Marine Park and Malindi Marine Park both provide amazing experiences with over 600 fish species and over 100 coral varieties at Turtle Bay, the North Reef, and along Mida Creek.
Did you ever imagine that one of the best places to go fishing would be Kenya? The waters off the coast of Kenya may contain some of the largest and most challenging game fish in the world. Regardless of your level of experience, you may find the most delicious, thrilling, and intense deep sea fishing just off the coast of Mombasa, Watamu, Malindi, Lamu, and many other places. While on deep sea fishing in Kenya some of the common fish include; kingfish, dorado, wahoo, giant trevally, and other species. You may be able to catch sailfish, black and blue marlins, shortbill spearfish, yellowfin tuna, and more if you visit Kenya between July and March. The oceans are home to tiger, mako, and hammerhead sharks in addition to these animals. If you’re still not convinced that Kenya is a great place to go fishing, think about catching swordfish, the most vicious fish in the ocean.
The beaches and islands are home to several valuable natural and cultural resources, much like other parts of the nation. You can learn more about Kenya’s people, vegetation, and biodiversity by visiting protected areas and historical places. Shimba Hills National Reserve, which is close to Mombasa’s south coast, is home to a variety of terrestrial species. Don’t miss Funzi Island’s mangrove lakes and inland forests! Discover the Marafa Depression in Malindi and the Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve near Watamu. See a variety of avi-fauna that will delight any birdwatcher by taking peaceful morning walks along Kilifi and Mida Creek near Watamu. Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks are conveniently accessible from Mombasa Island.
Watch the tranquil waves lapping the Mombasa coastline as you bury your toes in the fine white sand. As far as the eye can see, the Indian Ocean’s aquamarine waters meet the horizon’s baby blue sky. A good cocktail lifts your soul like the wind through the palm trees. Mombasa’s beaches soothe all of your worries and revitalise your body, spirit, and mind. Beach and island tours on Mombasa’s north and south coasts are the speciality of Kenya Safaris. Whether you’re looking for the most privacy, water sports, or a close proximity to famous monuments, we can help you find the ideal retreat. For visitors who want well-known beach locations with sizable resorts and hotels and who like to be nearer to the central district island of Mombasa, we suggest the North Coast beaches.
The four northern beaches—Nyali, Bamburi, Shanzu, and Kikambala—offer a variety of land-based and water-based activities, including as diving, fishing, golf, tennis, squash, and snorkelling. The North Coast’s reasonably priced lodging is a favourite among families. Mombasa’s South Coast is the epitome of peaceful isolation and pure beachside bliss. The North Coast Nyali bridge attracts thousands of tourists, while the South Coast only has air and ferry access, therefore the number of visitors is far fewer.
You and a few like-minded visitors can essentially have the lengthy expanses of sandy seafronts to oneself in some specific zones. Premier lodgings like Alfajiri Villas, where Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been, are located in the charming surroundings and provide an utterly luxurious experience. Even though Diani Beach is well-known, it still has a sense of peace and quiet in contrast to the crowds at the North Coast’s Bamburi Beach. In the deep, you may sail, windsurf, and water-ski, while the Indian Ocean is just at your feet, beckoning you to ski over its surface. The water slightly below the surface offers more tranquil sensations. Many vibrant and active marine animals dart in and out of strange coral structures, providing you with constant entertainment, enchantment, and intrigue.
Mombasa is the perfect destination if you’ve been dreaming of a secluded island as part of your dream East African beach vacation! Chale and Funzi are two islands that are ideal getaways from the fast-paced action-adventure of your Kenyan bush excursions. Chale Island is used as a good diving and snorkelling base and is a popular remote spot away from Diani Beach’s beach crowds. You might even spot a whale shark at the reef, which provides both shallow and deeper encounters.
On the island, there are other places that are perfect for inland travel. Savour the tranquil blue waters and even more stunning, isolated beaches of Funzi Island. Along with sailing, fishing, ocean kayaking, canoeing, diving, and snorkelling in Kisite Marine Park, the island is home to turtles. Across from Funzi Keys, on the tidal sandbank, is an unexplored paradise. Regardless matter how you have imagined your Kenyan beach vacation, Mombasa’s beaches will exceed all of your dreams.
