Kenya Is the Perfect Holiday Destination for Active Travellers

Golf, Kitesurfing, Scuba Diving and Luxury Coastal Living

Kenya Is More Than Safari

When most travelers think of Kenya, they picture wildlife and savannah landscapes.

But beyond safari, Kenya is one of Africa's most diverse destinations for active holidays.

Along the Indian Ocean coastline, adventure and luxury exist side by side. You can spend the morning on the water, the afternoon on a championship golf course, and the evening enjoying chef-prepared coastal cuisine.

For travelers who want movement, energy, and refined comfort, Kenya delivers.

Golf on the Kenya Coast

Vipingo Ridge Golf Kenya
Golf Course Sunset

Kenya's coastline is home to one of East Africa's most impressive championship courses at Vipingo Ridge.

Why It Stands Out
  • 18-hole championship course
  • Elevated ocean views
  • Year-round playing conditions
  • International tournament standard layout

For golf-focused travelers, Vipingo offers technical challenge and spectacular scenery in equal measure. After a morning round, you return to your beachfront retreat to cool off in the pool or relax by the ocean.

Kitesurfing in Watamu
or Kilifi

Watamu is one of East Africa's best kitesurfing destinations, attracting riders from around the world to its warm, turquoise waters and consistent trade winds.

Conditions
  • Wide shallow lagoons
  • Consistent seasonal winds
  • Warm Indian Ocean waters
  • Suitable for beginners and advanced riders

The reef protects flat water areas perfect for beginners, while advanced riders can explore the outside sections for bigger swells and open-ocean riding.

Scuba Diving and Marine Exploration

Watamu Marine Park Offers

  • Coral reefs
  • Tropical reef fish
  • Sea turtles and dolphins
  • Warm year-round water temperatures

Whether you're a certified diver exploring deeper reefs or a first-time snorkeler wading into the shallows, Watamu's protected marine park delivers unforgettable underwater encounters.

Kilifi Kayaking

Kilifi and Water-Based Adventure

  • Paddle boarding
  • Kayaking on Kilifi Creek
  • Dhow sunset cruises
  • Deep sea fishing

Kilifi is peaceful, spacious, and uncrowded — a destination where the pace slows down but the adventure never stops. It's the ideal complement to the energy of Watamu.
