Immerse yourself in a unique coastal culture as rich and rewarding as the local Swahili cuisine. Abercrombie & Kent's Kenya beach holidays are the perfect way to enjoy this distinct region.

    Mombasa is one of the oldest settlements on the East African coastline and still retains much of its character. The old town reflects the Arabic and Portuguese influences. The coastline south of Mombasa is a tropical paradise of palm fringed white sand beaches, where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean meet beautiful coral reefs.

    Lamu is the perfect place for Kenya beach holidays with a difference, a truly unique destination. The island is located off Kenya's far north coast. The attraction here is the islands fascinating history as a result of the trading routes. Step back in time by exploring the old town with its narrow streets and bustling markets.
