Nairobi to the Coast: Golf and Safari
The whole of Kenya in two weeks: Muthaiga, Karen and Windsor in Nairobi, the Maasai Mara and Amboseli, and the coast north of Mombasa.
Why this trip
Kenya's golf grew up in Nairobi, and three of its great clubs are a short drive apart. Add two of the country's best-known parks, then finish on the Indian Ocean with two more rounds and time on the beach.
Fly into Nairobi and home from Mombasa.

Good to know
When to go
Golf is played all year. For the safari, the dry months are best: roughly June to September and January to February. The long rains fall from March to May, and the short rains from October to December. The Great Migration is usually in the Maasai Mara from about July to November.
Getting there
Fly into Nairobi, or into Mombasa for the coast. Kenya is 3 hours ahead of the UK in winter and 2 hours ahead in summer, so there is little jet lag.
Entry
British passport holders apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) before travelling, at least 2 weeks ahead. Your passport needs 6 months left from the day you arrive and 2 blank pages. From 5 October 2026 most visitors also need Kenyan Government travel health insurance, bought with the eTA. Check the GOV.UK travel advice before you travel.
Malaria
GOV.UK lists malaria among the health risks in Kenya. See your GP or a travel clinic at least 8 weeks before you go.
Handicaps
Many clubs ask for a handicap certificate. Bring yours.
Dress
Collared shirts on the course; no T-shirts or denim.
Add to any trip
Every trip can be extended before or after the golf:
The Maasai Mara
Two or three nights on safari, with game drives and a hot-air balloon at dawn.
Amboseli
Elephants on the plains beneath Kilimanjaro.
The coast
A few nights on the beach at Diani, or rounds at Vipingo Ridge and Nyali.
Mauritius
A week of golf and beach on the island, a flight from Nairobi.
