You’ve seen the photos: pristine white sands, warm turquoise waters, dhows sailing into a fiery sunset. You’ve booked your room at Bahari Beach Hotel in Nyali, Mombasa—great choice, by the way! Now comes the logistics. Getting from wherever you are in the world to a beach chair on the glorious Kenya coast should be simple, not stressful. As your coastal travel guide, we’ve put together the ultimate cheat sheet for planning your flight, clearing immigration, and arriving at our little slice of paradise without a hitch. Consider this your adventure’s first, most important checklist.

You've come to coastal Kenya to feel the sand of Nyali Beach between your toes and swim in the dazzling Indian Ocean. It’s a feeling of pure, natural freedom. But standing on the shore, gazing out at that vast blue horizon, you’re also looking at a fragile, buzzing ecosystem that needs a little love from all of us. That’s why Mazingira Day (October 10th)—Kenya’s national day dedicated to environmental conservation—is incredibly important to us at Bahari Beach Hotel. Mazingira is the Swahili word for 'environment,' and this day is a powerful reminder that taking care of our planet starts right…

You’ve finally landed in Mombasa—the coastal breeze hits differently, doesn’t it? The ocean hums in Swahili, the palm trees wave “karibu,” and for a brief moment, you think about going completely off-grid. But then, reality checks in: you still need to check work emails, upload that perfect Nyali Beach sunset to Instagram, and maybe order a taxi via Bolt. Don’t worry, staying connected in Kenya is easier than you think—especially if you’re staying with us at Bahari Beach Hotel
