Five nights of
doing nothing.

3–7Nights
Dec–MarDriest, best season
~45minFlight from Nairobi

The other half of a Kenya trip.

Most safaris run five to seven days of early starts and full itineraries — which is exactly why the coast works as a back half, not a separate trip. Diani and Watamu are both a short domestic flight from the Mara or Nairobi, and both give you the thing a safari doesn't: mornings with nowhere to be.

We keep the coastal leg deliberately light — one reef excursion or dhow sail included, everything else optional. It's the counterweight to the pace of the days before it, not a second safari.
