Resting in the magnificent Great Rift Valley and presided over by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya is characterised by hauntingly beautiful natural landscapes of forested hills, patchwork farms, wooded savanna and vast forests brimming with an extraordinary abundance of wildlife. The nation’s diverse range of traditional African cultures is influenced by over 70 unique ethnic groups from the Maasai, Samburu, Kikuyu, and Turkana tribes to the Arabs and Indians that settled on the coast. Add to this: an exquisite tropical coastline fringed with breathtaking golden sand beaches; gorgeous coral gardens providing excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities; and a slew of lively beach resorts, and it is easy to see why so many visitors flock here from around the world to experience a truly unique African adventure in one of the world’s most pristine safari destinations.
The town of Kilifi is situated along the magnificent Kenyan coast, in the wide mouth of Kilifi Creek, which acts as a port for yachts on the international circuit and divides the white tropical beaches of Kilifi in two. Visitors can spot green turtles swimming amidst coral reefs at nearby Watamu Marine National Park and Reserve, relax on beautiful white-sand beaches, and explore the fascinating Mnarani Ruins, an archaeological site of an ancient Swahili settlement, giving some insight into the age of the Arab Spice Trade.
