Galu Beach
A tranquil paradise framed by the lush palm trees and golden sands of the picturesque Kenyan coastline, Galu Beach is a coastal gem that offers a serene escape from bustling city life. The area is renowned for its pristine shores and warm Indian Ocean waters, inviting visitors to indulge in swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. The relaxed ambience lends itself to unhurried beachside walks, and it serves as a picturesque gateway to the Shimba Hills National Reserve, offering wildlife safaris and hiking adventures for a convenient day excursion. Galu Beach embodies the essence of a laid-back tropical haven, ideal for relaxation and coastal exploration.
Tsavo East National Park
Bushy grasslands and open plains alternate with semi-arid acacia scrub and woodlands in this Park which is renowned for some of the largest elephant and buffalo herds in Kenya. Together with the arid environment and red dust these create spectacular photo opportunities. Tsavo East is recognised as one of the last remaining of wilderness and biodiversity strongholds on Earth. Natural attractions include the Galana River and Lugard’s Falls, the Yatta Plateau – which is the remnants of a massive lava flow and Mudanda Rock – the natural vantage point which overlooks a much visited and photographed drinking hole. The south of the park is the busier but it is still remarkably quiet while north of Galana is a true wilderness where private operators offer camel safaris
