THE KENYA COAST.
The Kenya coastline stretches beyond the old town of Lamu bordering with Somalia to Tanzania in the south. In-between lies endless miles of gorgeous, pristine beaches offering some of the most sophisticated, modern accommodation in Africa. Unlike neighbouring Tanzania, dynamite blasting has not destroyed the coastline. East Africa's first marine parks were gazetted here and true to Kenya's conviction to preserve its natural heritage these areas are well patrolled. Opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving are excellent, Kenya boasting a string of islands and some of the best coral reefs in the world (on par with the Red Sea and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef).

Seeped in history, Kenya acted as the stepping-stone into central, East Africa as far back as 14th century when the Chinese and traders from the Far East discovered its shores. What followed was a string of events leading to date. Portuguese galleons, British explorers and missionaries such as Dr. David Livingstone and the Arab slave trade are woven in a history of battles won and lost, quests for treasure, the rise and fall of civilizations, crowned sultans, great forts and palaces. The narrow streets’ of Mombasa Island and Lamu are a living history book.

The Kenya coast is best divided into four regions:

1. Mombasa Island and the immediate north coast resorts accessible via the Nyali Bridge.

2. The Watamu, Malindi areas further north (with Lamu further North, best reached by air).

3. The South Coast approximately one hour’s drive from Mombasa entailing a short ferry crossing.

4. Wasini/Shimoni (along the Tanzanian border) along the far reaches of Kenya's south coast.

The high standard of accommodation found at the coast is no exception and ranges from self-catering cottages to highly sophisticated hotels. Too numerous to mention we have highlighted popular properties below.
