Why Choose a Kenya Safari Beach Holiday

It’s ideal for couples, honeymooners, families, and travelers who want both adventure and comfort without rushing their holiday.
Best Time for a Kenya Safari & Beach Holiday
Kenya is a year-round destination, but the best time for a Kenya safari beach holiday is during the dry seasons from June to October and January to March. These months offer excellent wildlife viewing, pleasant safari conditions, and sunny beach weather in Diani. The Great Migration season and calving periods also provide spectacular wildlife moments for photography and nature lovers.
