Done the safari and want a beach holiday? You've come to the right place - swap your khakis for board shorts and bikinis and sip a cocktail under a palm tree with the azure Indian Ocean in front of you. Now we're talking!
- Snorkel or scuba-dive among coral reefs
- Catch a tan on palm-fringed sandy beaches
- Check out the fascinating old Mombasa town
- Sail across the ocean on a traditional dhow

Mombasa is a melting pot of Kenyan culture! Occuppied by the Arabs, Portuguese and British at various points in its tumultuous history, its Swahili inhabitants have seen a myriad of customs come and go. But their lifestyle remains almost unchanged and you will still see the men tacking their dhows out on fishing trips, trading with the Arabs and bartering remains a way of life. You'll be fascinated by the derelict architecture, hustle and bustle of the markets, spice shops and minarets of the many mosques lighting up the skyline.
And of course there are the beaches! Whether you head north or south, white sand, warm water and the turquoise-coloured Indian Ocean combine to create a seaside paradise that is almost perfect. There are pristine coral reefs for water activities, a great variety of game fish for keen anglers, dhow trips to choose from daily and seafood to cater for your culinary needs!
