Mombasa Safaris – Beach to Bush Kenya Safari Packages
Add wildlife to your coastal holiday.
Looking for safaris from Mombasa that combine Kenya's coast with unforgettable wildlife? Beyond the Plains Safaris arranges private, tailored safaris to some of the country's best national parks and reserves — starting directly from your Mombasa hotel, Diani Beach, or a nearby coastal destination, by road or, for longer distances, by air.
Mombasa sits particularly well for Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Taita Hills and Amboseli National Park, making it easy to add wildlife to a beach holiday without first travelling inland to Nairobi.

Popular Routes from the Coast
Tsavo East Day Trips & Overnights
Ideal for travellers with limited time — elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and buffaloes across vast savannah. A 1-day safari gives a quick wildlife fix; 2–3 days allows more relaxed viewing.
Tsavo & Amboseli Safari
Combine Tsavo with Amboseli's large elephant herds and Kilimanjaro views. This coast-Tsavo-Amboseli combination is one of the most requested routes from Mombasa.
Taita Hills Safari
Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary adds wildlife and scenic landscapes to a coastal itinerary — a shorter escape from the beach, no long road transfer.
Masai Mara from Mombasa
Prioritising the Big Five or the Great Migration? A Masai Mara safari from Mombasa runs as a longer road journey or a fly-in safari. See also our Masai Mara itineraries departing from Nairobi.
