Bamburi Beach

Bamburi Beach, in Mombasa County, Kenya, is where safari dust washes off in the Indian Ocean. Think powder-white sand, dhows on the horizon and water in shades of blue that look color-graded — they aren't.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Kenya: The original safari, still magnificent. Most travelers weave Bamburi Beach into a longer route taking in Masai Mara, Amboseli elephants and Rift Valley lakes.

The operators on SafariSuite run Bamburi Beach regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
