6 Days, 5 Nights Kilifi Christmas Holidays

Five nights in Kilifi over Christmas: the calm creek, mangrove forests, and the most laid-back stretch of the Kenya coast.

Kilifi sits between Mombasa and Malindi, where a wide tidal creek opens into the Indian Ocean. The town is quiet, the creek is calm for swimming and kayaking, and the stretch of coast north and south of the inlet has some of the least developed beach in Kenya. It is a good choice for families and anyone who wants the coast without the resort-strip crowds. This six-day Christmas package covers five nights at a Kilifi property on or near the creek, with kayaking, snorkelling, and a creek boat trip included.

Safari Highlights

• Kilifi Creek: calm, mangrove-fringed tidal inlet for kayaking and swimming
• Kilifi beach: undeveloped sand north of the creek mouth
• Boat trip through the mangrove forest and up the tidal creek
• Snorkelling off the reef south of Kilifi
• Quiet, unhurried Christmas away from the main resort areas
