The Kenya Coast

Home :: Kenya :: The Kenya Coast

The Kenyan Coastline is a paradise of palm fringed beaches and the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean . Extensive Coral reef systems with spectacular sea life make for world class diving and snorkelling.

These waters were once the highways of the spice trade and Arab and Portuguese forts, Old Towns and the overgrown, deserted ruins of Swahili outposts bear witness to this fascinating history. In the winding medieval streets and bustling markets of Lamu and Mombasa Old Town, life has continued unhurried and unchanged for more than 400 years.

Much of the coast is bordered by lush green coastal rainforests with prolific birdlife and variety of wildlife including baboons, rare colobus monkeys and even leopard.

The protective reefs of Kenya ?s coast have created ideal beaches with calm, clear waters. Days on the coast are filled with sunshine and nights are balmy and warm with gentle sea breezes.
