An African Safari vacation is a popular travel goal. It brings together travel to an exotic location, seeing unique wildlife, an adventure with just a hint of risk, great photography opportunities and memories to last a lifetime. Just mention you are going on an African Safari and your friends are sure to be envious and impressed.
In East Africa, Kenya is a great choice as a safari vacation destination because of the opportunity to combine an exciting African wildlife safari expedition with a relaxing beach vacation. One day you can be swimming in the warm Indian Ocean on a sandy tropical beach, and the next day you can be watching lions and elephants in the wild.
Kenya is an exotic vacation destination offering a complete break from western city life routines with its opportunity to combine beach and African safari vacations in one trip. For couples planning a wedding, Kenya is well worth considering for a very special honeymoon experience.
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's tropical weather is ideal for holiday makers all year. The rainy season is between May and July, but mostly the rains come in short tropical downfalls that are unlikely to disrupt a Kenyan vacation even at this time of year.
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.
You can choose from a range of hotels for your Kenya beach holiday, from low cost accommodation right up to top luxury five star resorts. The main Kenyan beach hotels are located about an hours drive from Mombasa Airport. You can enjoy sandy tropical beaches and swim in the warm Indian Ocean.
There are a wide variety of safari options to choose from. A night or two away on safari in the Tsavo National Parks may meet all your wildlife viewing expectations without having to travel very far from your beach resort. This can be just a simple safari adventure, or you can choose various added features and luxuries.
The Masai Mara Game Reserve offers another safari experience. It is reached by traveling further to Nairobi. You can choose from several safari tour options. There are luxury options, staying 4-5 nights in luxury accommodation built to a safari theme, that neatly match a stay in a luxury beach resort.
The Masai Mara Reserve may offer more animal variety than the Tsave Parks, but the wildlife is abundant in both locations, to ensure your safari experience is thrilling and filled with excitement. Expert safari guides ensure you can safely view the wild animals close at hand in their natural habitat. Whatever safari options you choose are sure to be satisfying.
Whether you are looking for a budget or a luxury vacation, the options available for a Kenyan combined tropical beach and African safari vacation are sure to please.
