Kenya · East Africa
The Kenyan coast.
The coast is Swahili rather than safari — a distinct culture, architecture and cuisine along the Indian Ocean.

Diani and Watamu are the usual beach extensions, and Lamu, a Swahili town and World Heritage Site with no cars, is the one that stays with people. The coast is typically added after the safari rather than before it.
