Africa Beach Safari holiday

Many of Africa’s finest beaches lie on the east of the continent, on a segment of shoreline called the Swahili Coast. Meandering along the Indian Ocean from Kenya to Mozambique, the Swahili Coast covers miles of tropical waterfront. Thanks to its centuries-long importance as a nexus of international trade, it has a singular culture influenced by Bantu and Arabic traditions.

There is no doubt that African coastline has some of the most beautiful stretches of beach in the world. So if you want a quiet spot to relax after a busy safari schedule or are just looking for a secluded beach holiday you will be spoilt for choice. A beach stays with powder white sands and the sparkling blue waters of the Indian Ocean is quite possibly the perfect spot to relax.

There is nothing better than ending a thrilling safari with a few days on a pristine beach under the African sun, reminiscing about the incredible wildlife you have witnessed. Also, the rest and rejuvenation of an African beach holiday is good for the soul!

Kenya Beach Safaris: Exceptional Views from the Swahili Coast

The Kenya coast features long stretches of alabaster beaches fringed between coral headlands and broken by occasional deltas. Lounging on a quiet, sunny beach in Mombasa, you would never guess you were near Kenya’s second largest city and one of the oldest settlements in East Africa. Blending the world’s most spectacular wildlife and a handful of islands scattered throughout the Indian Ocean, Kenya is the place of safari and beach holiday dreams.

Tanzania Beach Safaris: The Best of Mainland and Island

Tanzania is famous for its islands, particularly the archipelagos of Zanzibar and Mafia. But its mainland coast has just as much to offer. Rimmed with pristine lagoons, the sparsely populated Kigamboni district near Dar Es Salaam is noteworthy for its seclusion and excellent swimming. Snorkel among shipwrecks, wander the coastal forests, or watch baby sea turtles hatch from their nests and make their first journey to the ocean.

Zanzibar Archipelago

Zanzibar’s history as a center of trade has created a culture that melds African, Arabic, Indian, and European influences. While relaxing on its white-sand beaches is perhaps the island chain’s most popular pastime, diving and snorkeling come in a close second. The coral reefs here are spectacular.

Zanzibar is both the name of the archipelago and the nickname of its largest island, Unguja. The beaches on Zanzibar island are world renowned, but its culture and natural attractions are equally mesmerizing.

Seychelles Beach Safaris: A World Apart

Located 900 miles east of Kenya in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles are often overlooked as part of Africa. They are true hidden gems, forming a necklace of a hundred sparkling islands across 150,000 square miles of turquoise seas.

The Seychelles are a genuine paradise: they are outside the cyclone belt, have no poisonous snakes, and are free of malaria, yellow fever, and typhoid. The archipelago serves as a protected area for whales, dolphins, dugong (cousins of the manatee), and turtles, and coral thrives in the Aldabra Atoll—the world’s largest tropical lagoon. The Seychelles are also home to 950 recorded species of fish, with 200 of them co-existing in 1,000 square miles of coral reef.

Which is the best way round to do Africa Beach Safari holiday?

Game drives can get you incredibly close to the wildlife. We usually recommend doing the safari part of your holiday first and ending your Africa Beach Safari holiday trip on the beach, although this can of course be reversed so you would have a beach and safari holiday. Safaris can be pretty tiring because the game drives depart at the crack of dawn when the wildlife is at its most active, and this is why we generally recommend starting with this before heading to the beach.

Your friendly wake up call can be as early as 5 am, so it’s far from lie-in territory, but watching the sun come up over the savanna while you’re tracking lions, leopards and elephants will make the early start more than worth it!

However, after a series of heart-thumping game drives, you’ll probably be ready for some serious down time and an exotic beach overlooking the Indian Ocean is the perfect way to get it! This means that you’ll arrive home relaxed rather than frazzled and ready to get back to reality again.
