Why should one go on a beach holiday in Africa?

If you are dreaming of a tour in Africa, we highly recommend combining it with a beach holiday. Africa offers some of the world’s most breathtaking and unspoiled beaches, making the continent an ideal destination for an unforgettable beach holiday.

Here, travellers can not only relax in the warm sunshine and swim in the sea, but also experience local traditions and gastronomy.

Our Africa tours with beach holidays

At TourCompass, we offer unique combination tours where you can experience the best of both worlds: adventurous safaris in Africa or climbing Kilimanjaro combined with a relaxing beach holiday on some of Africa’s most beautiful beaches.

This type of trip is perfect for those who want to experience more than ‘just’ a beach holiday.

Beach holiday destinations

We offer tours to three different beach holiday destinations in Africa.

Zanzibar – an island steeped in history

Zanzibar lies almost 50 km off the coast of Tanzania, and here you can play in the crystal-clear water along the kilometre-long beaches and also experience the island’s fantastic culture.

All year round, Zanzibar offers a sunny climate that is ideal for beach holidays.

If you are also looking for cultural experiences, you can go on various excursions, such as a guided tour of Zanzibar’s old town, Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and considered the cultural heart of Zanzibar.

If you are looking for gastronomic experiences, Zanzibar also has plenty to offer. The island has been called ‘Spice Island’ for its large cultivation of various spices, which the locals also frequently use in their dishes.

Diani Beach at Mombasa, Kenya – a tropical gem

Mombasa, Kenya’s second-largest city, is the gateway to some of the most enchanting beaches in East Africa, of which Diani Beach stands out as one of the best.

Located almost 40 km from the buzz of big city life, Diani Beach offers an oasis with its 10-kilometre-long beach with fine, white sand and turquoise waters. The area is also known for its impressive coral reef, with great opportunities for exploring the fabulous marine life.

With its ideal combination of natural beauty and hospitality, Diani Beach is the perfect place to unwind both before and after an adventurous safari.

Mauritius – a paradise in the Indian Ocean

Mauritius is a true gem in the Indian Ocean, known for its extraordinarily beautiful nature.

In addition to its beach life, Mauritius offers a wealth of exciting things to see and do. Visit the capital Port Louis, where you can visit the Blue Penny Museum, which provides unique insights into the history of Mauritius. Or visit the distinctive geological phenomenon, the Seven Coloured Earths geopark with its multi-coloured sand dunes.

The island’s friendly people and exquisite cuisine also make Mauritius an attractive destination for those seeking gastronomic experiences out of the ordinary.
