Kenya is a hugely rewarding country to visit and you can easily combine beach and safari action in one holiday. Kenya straddles the equator on the east coast of Africa and its beaches border the turquoise tepid Indian Ocean. Most holidays in Kenya centre round one or more of the wildlife-rich safari parks and reserves. The many lodges and tented camps in Kenya offer exciting extras like safari outings in hot air balloons. Kenya has fine mountains and the stunning Rift Valley. The other big draw for holidays in Kenya is the white sand, palm-fringed beaches centered on the coastal hub of Mombassa. You can find smaller beaches around Malindi and the Watamu Marine National Park.
