Kenya in East Africa offers a unique way to combine beach and safari destinations in a very special vacation experience. You can easily put together a once in a lifetime holiday to take in Kenya's astonishingly rich wildlife as well as time to enjoy the wonderful Indian Ocean beaches.

A beach and safari break in Kenya is an exotic getaway from the daily routines of city life. It also makes for the ideal honeymoon for newly weds, with time to relax as well as a touch of adventure.

Europeans, especially the British, have rediscovered Kenya as a vacation destination in recent years, in part because of the relative strength of European currencies and improving disposable income. The reputation of Kenya as a place to go on vacation has been slower to develop in more distant America, but is now gaining in popularity because of the uniqueness of the experiences on offer.

Kenya enjoys a near perfect year-round climate for vacationers. There is an annual rainy season between May and July each year, but the rains come in short tropical bursts that should not detract from the enjoyment of your Kenya holiday.

Kenya offers an abundance of activities and entertainment. The excitement of a safari adventure combined with time to relax and take it easy in a peaceful and secure beach resort makes for a distinctive Kenyan experience.

The main group of Kenyan beach hotels and resorts are located about an hour's drive from the airport at Mombasa. There vacationers can enjoy sandy tropical beaches and swim in the warm Indian Ocean. There are budget hotels and luxury five star resort hotels to suit all levels of affordability.

Safari expeditions can be chosen from short or long trips, and from simple to luxury facilities. The Tsavo National Parks are not far from the beach resorts, and you might choose just to spend a couple of days viewing the wildlife, or take longer if you prefer.

If you are willing to travel further to Nairobi you could explore the magnificent Masai Mara Game Reserve. A luxury safari here, over perhaps over 4 - 5 nights spent in luxury safari themed accomodation, may be exactly what you are looking for to match your luxury beach resort vacation.

Whatever safari tour you choose is sure to be a memorable experience. You may see more varied wildlife in the Masai Mara, but there is an abundance of animals in both parks that will ensure your visit is eventful and thrilling. You will be guided by safari experts who will make sure you enjoy your visit, and keep you safe as you view the animals close up.

A beach and African safari vacation in Kenya is an exciting choice, with options available to suit both travelers on a budget and those seeking a luxury experience.
