Sun, sea and safari

As ever, August has been a busy time for us at Africa House. Among the many couples, families and friends whose African adventures we’ve arranged, there have been a couple of coastal trips which have brought particularly glowing reports – proving that East Africa has more to offer than just stunning safari trips.

One of the beach resorts which stood out last month is the Turtle Bay Beach Club in Kenya. Set in the impressive Watamu Marine National Park, it was a winner for the family group who went there – which comes as no surprise, with the hotel’s great service, brilliant kids’ activities and stunning location.

Another coastal location which impressed in August is Peponi Hotel in the historic Lamu town. This small, family-run hotel offers simple, beautiful décor, exceptional cuisine and views over the Indian Ocean from every room. The hotel was the ideal choice for a large group of guests looking for a coastal getaway.

It has also been a typically action-packed few weeks out on safari. We’ve been lucky enough to see a flurry of predator activity out on the Masai Mara, including some dramatic river crossings as the wildebeest and zebra continue to make their migration in search of greener pastures.
