THE BEAUTY OF THE SOUTH COAST OF KENYA.

SOUTH COAST

The south coast is by far the most idyllic and fascinating tourist resort of the Kenya coast. The resort which is unique fir its long white sandy beaches, is linked by ferry to Mombasa Island. The most notable of the beaches is Diani which is serviced by well appointed and luxurious hotels, chattels and villas.

 The South Coast resort stretches from Likoni South of Mombasa to the Kenya/Tanzania border. Shimba hills can be seen quite clearly from this beach. The hotels along Diani Beach are located on the cleared beach front areas of the Jadini forest which is still a haunt of wildlife such as leopard, colobus monkeys and a wide variety of birdlife. Apart fom sunbathing, there is a variety of other sports such as waterskiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling and deep sea fishing.
 
Diani /Chale Marine national Park and Reserve are places with a dazzling array of technicolor ed fish and coral gardens which are worth visiting. Viewing the denizens of these marine National Parks from glass bottomed boats or by snorkeling offers one an unforgettable experience.

Kenya Beach Holidays.

KILIFI

Kenya’s little secret

Kilifi is a breath of fresh air. Halfway between Mombasa and Malindi on Kenya’s south coast, this unassuming market town has become something of a hideaway for expats and artists. Through the middle of town runs Kilifi Creek, a wide, bird-filled estuary, crossed only by ferry until the 420-metre bridge was completed in the Nineties. On its north bank is the town centre, while the Swahili village of Mnarani dominates the south.

The beaches

Bofa Beach, widely believed to be the finest beach in all of Kenya, runs northwards from the town centre. Its soft, power-white sands, fringed by nodding palm trees, go on for miles and miles, and its gentle, bath-warm waters are sheltered by a vast coral reef. Much more compact is Kilifi Beach, tucked inside the south side of the creek. It has a wide portfolio of water sports, plus a dive school, and is scattered with sun loungers and parasols that cast sundial-like shadows on the sand.

The town

Even by Kenya’s standards, Kilifi likes to take things nice and slow. The commercial activity is concentrated on the north side of the creek – the daily market, the banks and the bigger shops. On the south side, Kilifi Boatyard welcomes luxury yachts from all over the world. And set back from the shore is Mnarani, a traditional tribal village where you can learn about poetic traditions, shop for hand-made crafts and visit the bizarre 14th-century Swahili ruins.

The wildlife

Arabuko Sokoke National Park is just a 15-minute drive north of Kilifi. These lush, semi-tropical forests are criss-crossed by walking trails where mongoose, elephant shrew, and a huge number of bird species can be spotted through your binoculars. For more major sightings, Tsavo East National Park, Kenya’s largest safari park, is a few hours’ drive away. Home to the Big 5, there’s a good chance you’ll see lions stalking the prairies and elephants gathering at the watering holes in the dying light of day.
