Why people go

The obvious beach finish to a Kenyan safari, and one of the few places where the flight is shorter than the drive would be. Stone Town is a UNESCO-listed Swahili trading town of carved doors and narrow lanes; the north and east coasts are the resort side, and the diving at Mnemba is the best in the region.

We use it both ways: as a recovery stop after game drives, and as a standalone long weekend for clients who want warm water without a long-haul flight.

What you will actually do

  • Stone Town — UNESCO World Heritage, and a genuinely walkable old town
  • Mnemba Atoll diving and snorkelling
  • Spice farm tours and the Jozani forest red colobus
  • Nungwi and Kendwa for swimmable beaches at all tides

Pairs well with

  1. Elsewhere Lake Nakuru Fenced, close, and the most reliable place in Kenya to see both black and white rhino.
  2. Elsewhere Mount Kenya Africa’s second-highest mountain, and the highlands, forest and trout streams around it.
  3. Elsewhere Amboseli Big-tusker elephants against Kilimanjaro — the most photographed view in Kenya.
