Lake Victoria

The hippo-lined Kenyan shores of Africa’s largest lake, Lake Victoria, offer sublime birding and relaxing beach time as timeless dhows glide to and from in the distance.

Wildlife-rich Kenya offers more than one option when considering a beach break. In addition to the palm-fringed sands and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, head inland to the shores of Africa’s largest lake, Lake Victoria, for superb birding, and much, much more. Giant boulders strewn along the shore are perfect sunning spots for multitudes of birds and stalking water monitors, whilst hidden caves are home to ancient rock art.

From the comfort of your hammock, watch fisherman sail past in dhows as the morning and evening skies illuminate the water with a rainbow of colour, and watch iridescent sunbirds gorge on nectar in tropical flower filled gardens. Easy smiles and lovely lodges complete the picture!
