Sand, Sea & Salt
When most people think safari, they picture the bush- not the beach. But Africa’s coastline tells its own wild story. From the palm-fringed shores of the Swahili coast to remote archipelagos and tide-whispered mangroves, the ocean adds a whole new rhythm to your journey.
Our coastal safaris offer a different kind of immersion- where dhow sails meet sea turtles, and centuries of culture meet castaway beauty.
Stay in the heart of Swahili culture
At its source
Along Africa’s storied coast, where monsoon winds once carried spices, silk, and stories, lie the remnants of ancient Swahili kingdoms - coral palaces, carved archways, and sun-drenched courtyards echoing with centuries of trade and tradition. Our handpicked collection of coastal retreats honours this heritage: from restored merchant homes to elegant villas that blend barefoot luxury with the timeless soul of the sea. Here, every breeze carries history - and every stay is steeped in it.
Combine beach & bush
The perfect duo
A classic East African combo. Track lions by day, then lounge by the Indian Ocean at sunset. Our bush-to-beach itineraries are seamless, refreshing, and perfect for honeymooners, families, or just adventurers needing a salty exhale.
Choose your wild
Personalise your journey
Design a journey as unique as you are. Whether you dream of sailing a dhow past ancient Swahili ruins in Lamu, tracking big cats across the golden plains of the Mara, or watching elephants wade through the mirrored wetlands of Amboseli, we’ll craft a safari that brings your vision to life.
