Destinations - InventTour

Safari-ing in Africa can be pretty busy, with early mornings, thrilling activities, and a lot of ground covered. It is therefore always great to be able to chill out on a beach, under a palm tree, with a bright coloured drink before jetting off back to reality.

And the Kenyan coastline provides the perfect locations for this relaxation.

Lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm, tempting waters of the Indian Ocean, Kenya's coast is inviting for any traveller, and has a fascinating and exotic history, being the setting for the passage of the Arabian Spice Trade.

Along the length of the coastline Arab and Portuguese forts, old towns and the overgrown and deserted ruins of Swahili outposts bear witness to this history, and offer travellers a truly special beach holiday.

Activities and Day Tours

Lamu Island

Having been settled in the early 1400's, the pace of life of Lamu Island has not changed much over the past few centuries, and you will find yourself on an idyllic, chilled out, tropical island when venturing here.

With no vehicles on the island, donkeys and sailing dhows are the only means of transport, so you can imagine that the word "rush" has not been used here too often! While away your time with some peaceful sea cruises, or spend your hours exploring the old, and unchanging narrow town streets.

Malindi and Watamu

The small town of Malindi is at the centre of a strip of blissful tropical beaches offering a range of world class resorts and quiet relaxing hideaways. Further south, the sleepy village of Watamu is fronted by wide white beaches.

At Watamu a Marine National Park has been established which offers an ideal day trip for snorkelling and diving excursions.

Mombasa

With extensive and enticing beaches stretching both north and south of Mombasa, the area is a haven for beach lovers, with many recreational activities being available for people of all ages.

In addition to a year-round tropical climate and breathtaking beaches, Mombasa spoils visitors with succulent fresh seafood and a vibrant nightlife.
