African Safari Thrills and Beach Vacation Relaxation In Kenya
Going on an African Safari brings up images of wild animals in their natural habitat, exotic African scenery, a hint of danger and adventure and wonderful opportunities for photographers. Traveling to Africa on safari is still an unusual choice but one many people would like to enjoy and want to talk about with those who have been, sharing in their memories.
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.
East Africa, including Kenya, does not yet have a high profile as a holiday destination in America, but is growing in reputation as a unique vacation experience. Europeans, and the British in particular, have less distance to travel to Africa, and have been been the mainstay of Kenyan tourism, attracted by the unique mix of the tropical beach and African safari vacation. Luxury vacations have become more affordable as European currencies have strengthened, prompting investment in Kenyan tourist facilities.
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.
There is an abundance of interesting activities to experience in Kenya. Kenya is unique in being able to offer the combination of relaxing on a tropical beach resort vacation with an African wildlife safari adventure.
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.
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.
Traveling further to Nairobi, you can experience your safari in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Luxury facilities and safari themed accommodation in a 4-5 night expedition will more than complement a luxury beach resort vacation on the coast. You can choose other options as you wish.
