Safari and Beach Holidays in Kenya: The Ultimate African Adventure

Kenya is one of the few destinations in the world where you can watch lions on the savannah in the morning and relax on a tropical beach by afternoon. Combining thrilling wildlife safaris with luxurious or laid-back beach holidays, a Kenya bush-and-beach combo delivers the best of both worlds—all in one trip.

Whether you dream of spotting the Big Five in the Masai Mara or lounging along the white sands of Diani Beach, Steve and Richard Safaris offers tailor-made Kenya safari holiday packages to make your journey seamless, exciting, and unforgettable.
