Kilifi, a coastal town of about 120,000–150,000 people, uses the Kenyan Shilling (KES) and covers roughly 60 km² including the town and Kilifi Creek. The best time to visit is from July to October or January to March for sunny, dry weather ideal for beaches and water activities, and English and Swahili are widely spoken, with local Mijikenda dialects also used.
Bofa Beach is one of the main beaches in Kilifi — described as “laid‑back” with golden sand and palms.
The western side of Kilifi Creek is described as having calm turquoise waters, surrounded by mangrove forests and lush vegetation.
Underwater & marine habitats off the Kilifi coast coral reef life, sea turtles, fish, & clear lagoons.

Kenya offers a diverse array of parks and reserves, each with unique attractions, whether it's distinct topography or rare wildlife species. We recommend combining visits to two, three, or more parks to experience a wide variety of landscapes and animals. Some private reserves and conservancies offer night game drives and walking safaris, and they often have the added benefit of minimal tourist traffic, allowing for a more exclusive and intimate wildlife experience.
In most parks and conservancies, you can typically expect to see common grazing animals such as buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, eland, giraffe, gazelles, impala, and waterbuck. Lions, leopards, and cheetahs are present in most parks but are most easily spotted in the Maasai Mara and Mara Conservancies. Elephants are best seen in Selenkay and Amboseli, while rhinos are often sighted in Nairobi National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and Lake Nakuru Park.
A few safari camps offer Wi-Fi or internet access for guests, and more camps are introducing this feature, although download speeds can be slow. Some camps may have cell phone signals that allow internet access, depending on your phone plan and provider, though this can be costly. Most major hotels in Nairobi and along the coast provide internet access.
Tipping at safari camps is at your discretion, but a common guideline is to give a gratuity on the last day of your stay. Typically, guests tip about $5 to $10 per guest per full day to the Driver-Guide. Additionally, it's customary to leave around $5 to $10 per guest per night in the staff tip box for the rest of the camp staff. Since obtaining change or exchanging foreign currency can be challenging at smaller camps, it’s advisable to have Kenyan Shillings for tips before starting your safari.
