Nairobi, Kenya
White sand, a protected reef and warm water — the natural second half of a Kenyan safari.
Diani runs for about ten kilometres south of Mombasa: white sand, casuarina trees and a reef roughly a kilometre offshore that keeps the water flat and swimmable.
It is the most developed stretch of the Kenyan coast, which cuts both ways. There is proper infrastructure — good restaurants, dive centres, a functioning airstrip with direct flights from the Mara — alongside quiet stretches if you choose the right property.
The colobus monkeys in the coastal forest are a small pleasure people rarely expect.
Signature
Four nights of big cats followed by four on the Indian Ocean, joined by a direct flight that skips Nairobi entirely.

Indian Ocean Coast
A quieter coast: marine national park, tidal creeks and one of the best-protected reefs in East Africa.
Southern Rift
Open grassland, the highest predator density in Kenya, and between July and October, the river crossings that draw people back for a lifetime.
Southern Kenya
Big-tusked elephants on open pans beneath Kilimanjaro — the most photographed view in East Africa, and it earns the reputation.
