The Best Sites For Kenya Holidays – Beach and Safari
August 15th, 2008 by David Jenkins, under Vacations. No Comments
Kenya holidays offer you the very best of everything, with the excitement of the world famous wildlife reserves, along with a coastline blessed with glorious beaches lapped by the Indian Ocean. From the bustling white sands of Bamburi Beach to the breathtaking peace and quiet of Kilifi, Kenya is a truly incredible holiday destination.
One thing about Kenya holidays is that they allow you to set your own pace; whether you want to relax on the beautiful beaches or go on a Kenya safari holiday, you will be sure to come back with your most memorable holiday snaps ever.
Kenya holidays offer the ideal setting for a winter sun or summer sun holiday; with over 300 miles of pure white beaches, a huge number of water sports activities and hotels that come alive at night.
Kenya is famous for its safari holidays and understandably so as it boasts some of the most spectacular and varying wildlife in the world; including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, hippos and rhinoceroses.
Many people choose to combine both their Kenya beach and Kenya safari holidays to create one unforgettable experience. This is of course a very popular and convenient way to enjoy the excitement of a twin centre holiday without having to endure the inevitable long haul flight between destinations.
With safari opportunities ranging from 2 night “taster” safaris right up to a 7 night Masai Mara safari, there is an experience to suit everyone’s budget. Much of the game viewing opportunities will depend on the time of year you travel, so it is worth discussing the animal’s migration patterns with your travel agent before booking your Kenya holidays.
As with any destination, Kenya holidays can vary considerably in price. It is of course possible to blow the budget and spend upwards of 5,000 or even 10,000 per person; however a budget beach and safari holiday can be achieved for as little as 600-800 per person.

Maldives Holidays and Honeymoons

Like a string of beautiful pearls scattered in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a series of coral atolls built up from the peaks of a an ancient volcanic mountain range.
The Maldives are situated just 550 kilometres from the mainland of India and 600 kilometres southwest of Sri Lanka. Probably closer to paradise than anywhere else in the world, the Maldives Islands are perfect for exotic honeymoons and “get away from it all” luxury holidays.
The Maldives Islands are a nation consisting of a chain of about twelve hundred small islands and sandbanks, about eighty of which are self contained resorts offering exotic Maldives holidays and romantic honeymoons.
The Maldives Islands are generally warm and humid with year round sunshine and average temperatures of between 29C and 32C. The best time of year for Maldives holidays and honeymoons is between December and April with slightly higher humidity and rainfall between May and October.
Each of the island resorts varies from as small as 1 acre to anything up to 90 acres in size and each is unique in its character and amenities. All the Maldives islands are surrounded by beautiful white sand beaches and warm turquoise waters offering unparalleled diving and water-sports opportunities.
The Maldives Islands vary greatly in size, standards and facilities with some of the more sophisticated resorts offering swimming pools, entertainment, luxury spas and a wider choice of cuisine and accommodation. Whilst some of the smaller islands still retain the “no news, no shoes” feel traditionally associated with Maldives holidays and honeymoons.
A great selection of Luxury holidays and honeymoons to the Maldives can be found at Free2.co.uk, all of which are fully ABTA and ATOL protected. Free2 has special feature pages for more than 20 different islands, each offering a different type of experience.
