Mombasa Safari -
Safaris & Day Trips from Mombasa

Want to experience a thrilling adventure? Here are scenic Mombasa safari destinations that are an absolute must-visit.

Other than its pristine beaches, Mombasa is also a captivating destination with safaris that are of great value for your money. 

One great thing about all these safaris is that they are stunningly beautiful but completely undeveloped and well of the radars of most tourists. These safaris are a few hour drives from Mombasa city and well accessible by either private or public means. 

You won't find long lists of Mombasa safaris here but, be assured that none of these safaris are likely to disappoint. 

Here is my best of Mombasa safari destinations you have to visit when in Mombasa.

Funzi Island

Me and my wife at Funzi Island - Lost Paradise Beach

Funzi Island is an unexploited gem unknown to many tourists.

In a deserted environment, Funzi island is the best place where you can experience the beauty of untouched nature and the unchanged culture. 

This wild island is a living paradise that makes amazing sandbank beaches. It is less populated hence the feel you own the whole island by yourself. Deep blue waters and tropical mangrove and vegetation give it that heavenly feeling. It is possibly the best place on the south coast.

Chale Island

If you have always dreamed of escaping to a tropical island of elegance and romance, book the next flight to Chale Island. Located offshore from the mainland, Chale Island is home to a captivating beach surrounded by tropical gardens of mangrove trees and coral cliffs. This island is paradise incarnate.

Access may be limited. And if you are lucky enough to spend a day basking under the sun, you’ll not only walk away feeling reinvigorated but forever charged as if this mumble has left an enteral footprint in the sandy shoreline that is your soul. Click here for more charms of Chale Island
