This unique six-day itinerary blends the classic bush safari experience with the tropical marine paradise of Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. It’s the perfect “bush and beach” combination — starting with Big Five game drives in Tsavo East before unwinding on the powdery white sands of Diani Beach, one of Africa’s most beautiful coastlines.
The safari portion takes you into Tsavo East, Kenya’s largest national park, where vast open landscapes and the famous red elephants create a sense of true wilderness. The park’s relatively low tourist numbers mean you’ll often have sightings entirely to yourself — a rare luxury in East Africa’s popular parks.
The coastal portion introduces a completely different side of Kenya. Diani Beach offers world-class snorkelling and diving on coral reefs teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. A dhow sailing trip, visits to Shimba Hills for the rare sable antelope, and a walking tour of Mombasa’s atmospheric Old Town add layers of culture and adventure to the beach relaxation.
