Africa Safari Beach Holidays

Africa Safari Beach Holidays

Africa Safari Beach Holidays is a safari and beach twin-center holiday that is hard to beat. Africa Safari Beach Holidays is a perfect holiday combination. Our Africa Safari Beach Holidays enjoys an exciting safari adventure with astounding game drives across African plains before unwinding by the idyllic beaches of the Indian Ocean. Imagine waking early, heading out on a morning game drive on the African plains, then being whisked away to a secluded sandy beach, arriving in time to watch the sun set over the ocean. A beach stay is the perfect post-safari tonic and it’s easy to add onto the end of your safari – many beach destinations are just a short flight from Africa’s national parks.

Africa Safari Beach Holidays is the perfect holiday, offering a wonderful mix of adventure and relaxation.

Tanzania & Zanzibar Beach Holidays:

Tanzania is a top choice for classic luxury safaris. Sleep under canvas on the Serengeti Plains and track the wildebeest migration or stay in a safari lodge perched on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater – an ancient volcanic caldera teeming with big game. What better than to round off these phenomenal safari experiences with a few days on the beaches of Zanzibar, the exotic Spice Island lying just off Tanzania’s coast. For a more exclusive sand-between-your-toes experience, stay on Pemba Island or private Mnemba Island – one of the world’s top diving destinations.

Kenya Safari & Mombasa Beach Holidays:

Witness the unforgettable spectacle of thousands of wildebeest migrating through the Masai Mara – with opportunistic predators snapping at their hooves all the way. Along with the great migration, other top Kenya safari experiences include walking safaris with red-robed Maasai warriors, flamingo-covered Lake Nakuru and game drives in Amboseli National Park with its classic view of Mount Kilimanjaro. For a post-safari beach break, choose between the got-it-all resorts of the Kenya Coast or hop across to Zanzibar to explore Stone Town’s cobbled streets and the island’s powder-white beaches.

If there’s one thing missing from wildlife safaris, it’s that little bit of lazy time that you can only find on a beach far from the watchful eyes down at the watering hole. That’s why Africa Safari Beach Holidays are such a breath of fresh air as not only do they present the exciting and fascinating world of animals but they also allow you time to spend relaxing on sand whilst reminiscing about all of those amazing encounters that you’ve just experienced a few days before.

On safari, getting up at dawn and staying out after sunset gives you the best chance of seeing as much wildlife as possible. But, a few long days out in the bush can zap your energy. As a restorative after a fast-paced safari, we suggest tacking on a few days of beach relaxation. Not only does it add another dimension to your trip, it also gives you a chance to set your own schedule, doing as much or as little as you like.

A safari and beach holiday has to be one of the all-time greats. Adventures in the wilderness followed by beach chill – escapism at its best. Contact us for tailor made Africa Safari Beach Holidays for the novice to the expert, families, honeymooners or special celebrations, anything goes. Safari Beach offer both luxury and value with a price guarantee and on all our trips.

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

Game drives can get you incredibly close to the wildlife Safaris. We usually recommend doing the safari part of your holiday first and ending your 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 wakeup 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.

How many nights at each destination during your Africa Safari Beach Holidays?

A classic 7 Nights holiday would usually be a mix of 3 nights on safari and 4 nights on the beach. If you’re looking for a 10 Nights holiday, this could combine 4 nights on safari with 6 nights at the beach, or if soaking up some tropical sunshine is important to you, 3 nights on safari and 7 nights on the beach would do the trick. If you have longer than 3 or 4 night to spend on safari then most people would combine 2 different wildlife destinations, to give them a greater variety of experiences.
