When it comes to travel in East Africa, why choose between thrilling game drives and sun-soaked beaches when you can have both?
A Beach and Bush Safari offers the perfect balance: start your journey tracking the Big Five across wild savannahs, and end it unwinding along turquoise waters with soft white sand beneath your feet. It’s adventure and relaxation wrapped in one unforgettable itinerary.
First Stop: Into the Wild – The Bush Experience
Your journey begins in the heart of Africa’s untamed wilderness — from the legendary Masai Mara in Kenya to the Serengeti in Tanzania or even Selous, Tsavo, or Amboseli.
What to Expect:
- Daily game drives in open 4×4 vehicles
- Luxury tented camps or eco-lodges with views of the plains
- Up-close sightings of lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and more
- Cultural encounters with Maasai or Samburu communities
- Optional balloon safaris at sunrise
Each day in the bush is an opportunity to reconnect with nature and experience the raw beauty of Africa’s wildest corners.
Then Escape to the Coast – The Beachside Retreat
After days of safari excitement, it’s time to trade the dusty trails for the calming rhythm of the Indian Ocean. You’ll fly or drive to the coast — depending on your location — and land in paradise.
Whether it’s:
- Diani Beach (Kenya): Known for its powdery white sand and laid-back luxury
- Zanzibar Island (Tanzania): A blend of Swahili culture, spice markets, and blue lagoons
- Watamu or Lamu: Secluded, romantic, and filled with charm
You’ll enjoy:
- Beachfront resorts or private villas
- Watersports like snorkeling, diving, and kite surfing
- Romantic sunset dhow cruises
- Local seafood, Swahili cuisine, and cultural exploration
Sample Itinerary:
Day 1–5: Safari in Masai Mara, Serengeti, or Amboseli
Day 6–10: Fly to Diani, Zanzibar, or Watamu for a beach escape
Day 11: Depart with sun-kissed skin and unforgettable memories
