Escape the cold.
A Kenya dive and safari holiday.
A Kenya dive and safari holiday with Ocean Tribe: Diani’s reefs, beach time and wildlife adventures in one unforgettable escape.
A Kenya dive and safari holiday could be your answer to dark mornings, cold weather and another winter spent wishing you were somewhere warmer.
Swap your winter coat for beachwear, explore Diani’s underwater world and head inland for a safari—all within one memorable trip.
Imagine having two very different adventures to look forward to. On the coast, you prepare for a morning on the dive boat. On safari, you set out with a guide to see what the day brings.
Between them, there is time to relax, enjoy your surroundings and feel properly away from home. With Ocean Tribe, you can combine diving, beach time and wildlife experiences in a holiday built around your interests.
It is an appealing combination for couples, friends and families with different interests. A thoughtfully planned itinerary gives everyone something to anticipate.
One trip.
Two extraordinary worlds.
Press play for a taste of an Ocean Tribe dive and safari adventure.
Your winter blues.
Upgraded.
Make diving part of your winter escape. Tell us your certification, experience and when you last dived, then choose a balance of dive days and beach time that suits you.
If you want to learn, discuss that before choosing a package designed around certified diving. Introductory experiences and courses need appropriate preparation and time.

A Kenya dive and safari holiday this winter?
The Northern Hemisphere winter overlaps with one of Diani’s generally more favourable diving periods. Come for the adventure and leave room for the slower moments, too.
Take a beach walk, settle down with a book or spend an afternoon by the pool. You do not need to fill every hour to make the most of the trip.
From reef life
to safari life.
The beach and dive boat give way to game drives and time in camp. Put down the dive bag, pick up the binoculars and enjoy another side of the journey.
Let the experience include the landscapes, smaller discoveries and time spent observing, rather than treating the trip as a checklist.

Coast first.
Then a little wild.
What could your Kenya dive and safari holiday look like? Our published 10-day Diani and Tsavo East package brings both chapters together.
The example itinerary names Leopard Beach Resort & Spa on the coast and Satao Camp in Tsavo East, with first-class train travel between Mombasa and Voi and private transfers.
Confirm current accommodation, inclusions, availability and final arrangements with our team for your chosen dates. Learning-to-dive options require a suitable adapted itinerary.

Safari evenings.
Make time for the beach chapter
Beach time is part of the holiday. Ask us about coastal accommodation options that suit your dates, style and budget.

A different kind of wake-up call
Let the safari chapter change the pace, with time in camp between game drives and a setting far removed from your winter routine.

Different interests.
One great holiday.
Travelling with a non-diving partner?
A shared holiday does not require identical interests. Your partner might prefer beach time while you dive, or you may want to keep some days free for activities together.
Ask about suitable non-diving options and how they fit the proposed arrangements. Agreeing the balance early helps create a holiday everyone can enjoy.
The safari can become a shared highlight, while the coastal stay leaves room for individual interests.
Build your escape
around you.
Before enquiring, think about the holiday you actually want. You do not need every detail decided; a clear idea of your priorities gives us somewhere useful to begin.
Share your arrival and departure plans too, so the itinerary can be considered as a whole.
- Preferred dates and how flexible they are.
- Number of travellers and total holiday length.
- Diving qualifications and recent experience.
- Your balance of diving, beach and safari time.
- Accommodation style and approximate budget.
- Any access or assistance needs to discuss.
Before you pack
Can I learn to dive on this holiday?
Ask us about incorporating a beginner programme or certification course. We will help plan suitable preparation and training time, rather than assume a certified-diver package fits a beginner.
Do we all need to be divers?
No. Tell us who will be diving and what the other travellers would enjoy. We can discuss suitable options and the arrangements for your group before booking.
Are the wildlife sightings guaranteed?
No. Marine and safari wildlife encounters vary. Your destination, season and the conditions influence what you may see.
Can we change the example itinerary?
Contact Ocean Tribe with your priorities, dates and budget to discuss a tailored dive and safari experience. Availability, inclusions and prices are confirmed for the final plan.
