African Safari Thrills and Beach Vacation Relaxation In Kenya

By Shelby Wright

Many people dream of going on an African Safari. A safari evokes exotic destinations, amazing natural wildlife, adventure travel, a touch of danger and romance, photographic opportunities and lasting memories. An African safari is still an unusual vacation choice that your friends will want to know all about when you get back.

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.

A combined safari and beach vacation to Kenya is the perfect exotic break away from your daily city routines. It also makes for an idyllic honeymoon trip if you have wedding plans in mind.

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.

Most of the Kenyan beach resorts and hotels are located about an hour's drive from Mombasa Airport. They offer sandy beaches and swimming in the warm Indian Ocean. There is a choice of accommodation for all pockets, from budget hotels to top level luxury five star resorts.

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.

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.

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.

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.
