Embark On Your Dream Kenya Beach Holiday

The Indian Ocean Coastline of Kenya has some beautiful beaches and some good quality hotels. Gamewatchers Safaris can arrange stays at a number of selected hotels at one of Kenya’s Beach Resorts in conjunction with an African safari holiday.

Mombasa South Accommodation

Just south of Mombasa is the famous Diani beach, one of the most renowned on the East African Coast, with its long, soft, white sand making it a tropical paradise. There is also an offshore reef which is ideal for snorkelling and as this also keeps the waves low it is an ideal beach for paddling and swimming. There are many exclusive hotels situated on the beach: Afrochic, a boutique hotel, Asha Cottages a seafront property with 5 exclusive guest rooms, Msambweni Beach House a family owned beach property, Leopard Beach and Sands at Nomad both with spas, Alfajiri Villas and Southern Palms situated on the beach and Tijara Beach which has its own private beach. The more remote and quieter Galu Beach is a few miles south of Diani and Pinewood Village provides excellent accommodation and activities. On Funzi Island, an unspoilt island off the coast is Funzi Keys and on Chale Island is Sands at Chale.

Mombasa North Accommodation

The beaches just north of Mombasa are popular with overseas visitors to Kenya wanting a tropical beach holiday. The North Coast is linked by a road bridge to Mombasa town and offers a variety of activities, restaurants and nightlife. 

Watamu Bay & Malindi Accommodation

The areas of Malindi and Watamu are north of Mombasa, offering some of Kenya’s finest beaches and the perfect place to relax and unwind after a safari tour. Visitors can access Malindi Marine Park and Reserve and its magnificent lagoons, coral gardens, sea grass beds, mangroves and diverse sealife including dolphins, turtles and various bird species. The fascinating “Hell’s Kitchen” and the nearby Arabuko Sokoke Forest is a bird watchers paradise.   The extensive inland Mida Creek also hosts a wide variety of splendid birdlife. 

Lamu Accommodation

Lamu is a small island off the north-east coast of Kenya. The waterfront Swahili town of Lamu is made up of historic Arabic-style buildings and narrow bustling streets. There are no cars on the island and Lamu is untouched by mass tourism.
