Safari and Sea: The Ultimate 2026 Kenyan Escape
When we head over to the warmest continent in the world, we often think about unique experiences and safaris—those rank high on the list of things to do. But I know there is more, and you should book more. Not because there aren’t other great destinations to explore, but because few places can mix sand and safari at such equal levels of quality.
Welcome to Kenya! I run safaris in East Africa, and my biggest challenge is convincing people that the beaches here in Kenya rival the sandy shores of Mexico or Portugal and can be just as enjoyable as the Caribbean. So, I figured the best way is to put together a free itinerary for everyone to see and give you THE BEST SAFARI AND SEA PACKAGE OF 2026.
Have a look at this! Our 10-night "Quintessential Kenya" trip is the perfect escape to East Africa. Get dusty on safari and then rinse off on the white sandy beaches of Diani! You’ve made it halfway across the world, so why not explore the destination further?
What to expect from both sides of Kenya!
