The Top 11 Best Destinations for a Kenya Safari and Beach Holidays

The standards are sky high with this list of carefully selected Kenya holiday beach and safari destinations. Find it all here: gorgeous beaches, wildlife-swamped parks, and breathtaking islands.

Here are 11 of the best destinations for Kenya safari and beach holidays.

1. Wasini Island for the Kenyan Holiday

The island lies 3km off the Indian Ocean coast and is an eye-catching 7km sensation best known for its white alleyways, mottled trees, and stunning beaches. There’s everything to love about this island, like its quiet and still and lacking in modern distractions.

So what do you do on an isolated island? There’s quite a lot, like visiting the Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park, a 39 sq. km. It’s a conservancy housing huge varieties of marine life.

There’s also the green sea turtle, where, if you are lucky, you can spot humpback whales and dolphins. The other attraction is the coral garden, a beautiful preserve of fossilized coral structures.

2. Amboseli National Park for Wildlife Safari Experience

Amboseli is set in one of the most eye-catching beautiful lands in the country near Mt. Kilimanjaro. It’s a vision of lush savannahs, wetlands, woodlands, and dried-up beds of Lake Amboseli. There’s also the Kilimajaro, a distant view that is an absolute delight to catch, and the wildlife, which is undeniably the show’s star.

Expect to spot a decent amount of the over 56 wildlife species in the park, including over 1000 individual elephants. Other includes zebras, buffaloes, dik-dik, giraffes, zebras, bushbucks, hyraxes, lesser kudu, cheetahs, mongoose, lions, porcupines, and wild dogs.

3. Diani Beach for a Beach Safari  Experience

Diani is a breathtaking beauty cloaked in blinding white sands and punctuated by the loveliest turquoise waters. It’s not, in any way, secluded, but it somehow has guests feeling like they are in their little pocket of paradise.

Prepare to have your breath taken away by her magical sunsets, tranquil ambiance, and the way time seems to move slower here.  There’s also an impressive variety of accommodations to choose from, most of which are as stunning as the beach.

Fun things to do in Diani; swim, snorkel, deep-sea dive, skydive, sundowner, surfboard, or play beach games.

4. Chale Island for the Best Beach Resort

Chale is a private island that endlessly fascinates with its short but sweet stretch of coast, tranquil surroundings, and beautiful mangrove forests. It is so breathtaking that it made it into CNN’s list of the top beaches in Kenya!

Though only 1.2km long, the beach is beautiful, varied, and, honestly, one of the best, we’ve encountered. There’s a 15-acre indigenous forest on the island with a vibrant coral reef and tidal mangrove lake that though stunning, is often overlooked.

You will have a blast, from exploring the island’s beautiful flora and fauna to dinners on the beach, swimming, snorkeling, deep-sea diving, and lounging by the beach.

5. Masai Mara National Reserve for Wildlife Holidays in Kenya

It’s not uncommon for you to wake up to the sounds of growling lions outside your tent in the Mara. And neither is it unusual for your car to brush against African Elephants- the world’s largest land mammal- while out on a game drive at Masai Mara.

The Masai Mara, they say, is Africa’s wildlife capital, and looking at its impressive variety (there are over 90 mammal species in the park), we concur.  And Masai Mara National Reserve houses the Big five, wildebeests, giraffes, dik-dik, hippos, gazelles, waterbucks, bushbucks, zebras, and over 450 bird species.

That, plus the park, hosts the Great Wildebeest Migration, an iconic only-of-its-kind spectacle graced by over 1 million wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras.  Add its perspective-altering resorts to that list, and you’ll see why the Masai Mara is among our most requested safaris and holidays. Masai Mara holidays in the jungle are accompanied by picnic lunches – you can enjoy a picnic meal along the Mara River.

6. Malindi Beaches for the Best Beach Holiday of Africa

If anything, Malindi Beaches will captivate you and leave you hungry for more. The best part is there’s a huge pool of beaches for you to choose from, like Watamu, Kisite Mpunguti, and Che Shale. 

Watamu is a 7km stretch of goodness set apart by its riveting azure waters, spectacular coral reef, and humpback whales and dolphins. Kisite Mpunguti Marine Reserve is a conservancy remarkable for its huge variety of marine life. You can enjoy a tour of the park during the day and head back to your beach resort in the evening.

Che Shale Beach, despite being unbelievably beautiful, remains largely unexplored. You get to have the beach to yourself, to walk on, lounge, swim, or whatever it’s people do when they have a whole beach to themselves. 

Last but not least is Malindi Beach, a striking stretch of coast hallmarked by velvety beach sands, palm trees, smooth waves, coral reefs, and a wonderful selection of resorts. The main activity on this beach is diving, and you get the perfect opportunity to uncover the huge wealth of beauty beneath and over the waters. 

7. Mombasa Beach for a Beach Safari Holiday

There’s a whole lot to love about Mombasa beaches through the right holiday. The sands are white and velvety, the palms are green and towering, and the waters are turquoise and shimmering. Here are three Mombasa Beaches you’ll love. 

The first is  Bamburi Beach, a beach hallmarked by golden sands, shallow waters, and a beachfront lined by countless resorts, eateries, and bars. Bamburi is undoubtedly not for the loner seeking a free-from-the-crowds Kenya safari and beach holiday but for the social butterfly looking for some social interaction. 

The second is Tiwi Beach, a tropical paradise highly favored by travelers on a budget. Make no mistake; the beach is in every least bit beautiful with good snorkeling opportunities and a beachfront to rival all other beachfront. 

And then there’s Nyali Beach, a beautiful stretch of coast home to the country’s grandest, most luxurious beach resorts. It’s less crowded, has a stunning beach, and offers great snorkeling opportunities. Enjoy the best beach resort while at Mombasa and jump into the Indian Ocean.

8. Tsavo National Park for Wildlife Safari Holiday

Tsavo park is known for its aesthetics. It’s a gold mine for those who like their holidays quiet with a generous sprinkle of breathtaking scenery. And here’s where it gets better; there are two Tsavos separated by the Nairobi-Mombasa highway: the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Park.

What the Tsavo East lacks in moisture (it’s the drier of the duo), it compensates for with sightly attractions. The park hosts enormous wildlife, the Galana River, and Yatta Plateau, the world’s largest lava flow. 

Tsavo west is lush and the more mountainous of the duo. It’s home to the Mzima Springs, Lake Jipe,  and a huge variety of wildlife. These include buffaloes, cheetahs, lions, hippos, elephants, rhinos, and leopards, to mention but a few. You can view all the animals during a game drive in a 4×4 safari land cruiser.

9. Lake Nakuru National Park for a Wildlife Holiday

Bigger and flashier parks have tried to outshine the Lake Nakuru National Park. But this little haven on the floors of the Great Rift Valley has remained in the spotlight mainly because of its flamingos. 

Our safari and beach holidays introduce you to Lake Nakuru, its famous pink friends (flamingos), and over 56 mammal species. Here you will find rhinos, giraffes, waterbucks, hippos, buffaloes, wild dogs, and zebras, to mention but a few. 

There’s also unique scenery to be explored at Lake Nakuru, which features beauties like the Makalia waterfall, Baboon Cliff & Lion Hill viewpoints, and the Enasoit and Honeymoon Hills.  

10. Samburu National Reserve for a Wildlife Holiday in Kenya

Samburu is gorgeous and pristine. It’s an answered prayer for those with a penchant for away-from-modern-civilization Kenya safari and Beach holidays. Spend your vacation here and discover the Samburu Five. It’s a famous quintet featuring the Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, and Grevy Zebra. 

There’s also jaw-dropping scenery that features riverine forests, the Ewaso Nyiro River, and mind-boggling wildlife populations. These wildlife species include over 900 individual elephants, predators like lions, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs, and over 450 bird species, to mention but a few.

11. Ol Pejeta Conservancy for Views of Mt. Kenya and Wildlife Holiday

Ol Pejeta is the land of rarities. It houses two of the world’s only remaining northern white rhinos and is home to the fastest-growing rhino population in Africa. It is also the only place where you can spot both the Big Five and chimpanzees. 

And that’s not even half of it. The park is sensationally beautiful, with views of Mt. Kenya and lush grasslands that teem with wildlife. Discover over 10,000 large mammals, including over 80 black rhinos, southern white rhinos, the big five, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and wild dogs, to mention but a few. 

Fun activities at the Ol Pejeta include horseback riding, camel riding, lion tracking, game drives, sundowners, and bush dining.
