Kenya beach holidays

Kenya beach holidays are surely worth looking into for those who are always on the lookout for that next great beach destination. The Kenya beach resorts are some of the best accommodations in all of Kenya, and the Kenya beaches are simply alluring and enticing, offering rich blue water, soft white sand, and plenty of palms to match. Deciding when to go on Kenya beach holidays is made easy by the fact that there really isn't a bad time to hit the coast in Kenya, as the weather is always warm here. The Kenya beaches are already quite popular with European travelers, and more and more Americans and other foreigners are finding out that Kenya beach vacations have so much to offer. You can do as little or as much as you want on Kenya beach holidays, and the option to book side tours and safaris is always there, so you can head inland to complement your beach vacation as you want, time and budget allowing.

Many visitors looking to hit a beach in Kenya fly from Nairobi to Mombasa, which is a thriving coastal city that has some of the best restaurants in the country. You might also fly to Manda Island, which is the airport that serves the popular Kenyan coastal destination of Lamu. Mombasa is found on the southern side of the Kenya coast, and for those that want to head to the less-crowded southern Kenya beaches, you can hop on a passenger ferry, then take an old car or bus ride to your ultimate destination. Those vacationing in Mombasa will want to check out Bamburi and Nyali beaches, which are arguably the best beaches near town. North of Mombasa, the beaches are more crowded, and these beaches are where you will find the bulk of the Kenya beach resorts. The coastal highway that stretches from Mombasa up the north coast is part of the reason why the northern Kenya beaches are most popular with tourists. There are also many interesting historical and cultural pursuits to be enjoyed near north Kenya coast destinations like Lamu and Malindi. The 15th century Takwa Ruins are certainly checking out when vacationing in Lamu, and just south of Malindi, the Gedi Ruins are an ideal stop for history buffs. 

Coral reefs are found offshore along the Kenya coast, and when you plan Kenya beach holidays for destinations like Malindi, Mombasa, and Lamu, you might entertain the idea of booking a snorkeling or scuba diving trip to explore these beautiful reefs. Tour companies can be found at these destinations, and you can also book trips at many, or most of the beach resorts. The Malindi Marine Park is ideal for such pursuits, as is the Wetamu Marine Park, which is found by the village of Wetamu, which is known for offering some of the best Kenya beach resorts.

The reefs found in the Indian Ocean off of Kenya's shore provide protection for many of the Kenya beaches, making swimming more enjoyable. You won't experience a lot of crashing waves when enjoying Kenya beach holidays, but some of the Kenya beaches are less protected by reefs, such as Shela Beach. Found near Lamu, Shela Beach is one of Kenya's best, and since there is no reef here, the waves can be quite rambunctious at times.

The Lamu archipelago, which is at the northern extreme of the Kenyan coast, has some of the more luxurious and exclusive Kenya beach resorts, so if a luxury Kenyan beach vacation is your aim, you might look here first. For those heading south, Diani Beach is certainly a prime destination to consider, and the well-rounded Diani Reef Beach Resort gets a nod for sure. The reefs found offshore here are excellent for those snorkeling or scuba diving, and if you don't want to get in the water, you can always hitch a ride on a glass-bottomed boat, or dhow. Dhows are abundant up the entire Kenya coast, so it's quite easy to arrange trips on them. Funzi Island is another popular southern Kenyan coast beach destination, especially for couples, and day trips to the Kisite Marine National Park are highly recommended if you are visiting the southern Kenya beaches. Deep sea fishing is also something you can add to your Kenya beach vacation itinerary if you are interested, though nobody will fault you if you prefer to spend a day or more simply sunbathing and lounging around.

Photographer, Alexandra Sailer captured a caiman that was basking in the sun in the tropical wetland of Pantanal, Southern Brazil, when the striking orange butterflies came to rest on its nose. Immediately irritated, the caiman tried to shake the butterflies off but they hung on tight and eventually it was forced to take to the water to wash them off.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse 3rd November 2013

The hybrid eclipse is the rarest of the four types of solar eclipses. On 3rd November 2013, the Sun, Moon, and the Earth will join in a grand formation as the Moon moves between the earth and the sun, completely obscuring the Sun with a remarkably concentrated lunar shadow that will sweep over a path barely 13 km at an extraordinary 14,000 km/h. The diamond ring flares, the Sun will vanish behind the lunar disk, and we will experience  up to 14.7 seconds of darkness within this narrow cone. Much of the eclipse path experiences the less desirable annular eclipse. The moon is barely able to eclipse the sun so the period of totality is often quite short. Still, it does have a period of totality which makes the hybrid solar eclipse one that is worth traveling to see.
Kenya will be among the best locations to view the total ‘hybrid’ eclipse.  Sibiloi National Park around Lake Turkana area in Kenya reports a very encouraging “percent of possible sunshine” of 74 percent, strong confirmation of a pronounced decline in cloudiness toward the eastern end of the eclipse track, though the value is so high as to invite a little suspicion which results to a very high resolution which makes this remote and sparsely inhabited part of Northern Kenya the best point to be during this time of event and as the duration of the eclipse declines to less than 20 seconds across Kenya and to less than 10 seconds in Ethiopia.
Standing in these untouched landscapes – gazing up at the unreal fuchsia hues of the solar prominences, as the moon moves centrally in front of the sun, completely covering the sun as seen from the earth to many of us this will be a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. To watch as the three celestial bodies form a straight line and the rare total solar eclipse occurs.
