Coastal Kenya is the most vibrant and diverse part of the country, with idyllic islands, serene beaches, ancient ruins, lush mangroves and a rich Swahili culture, as well as four Unesco World Heritage sites: Lamu Old Town, Fort Jesus in Mombasa, the sacred Mijikenda Kaya Forests and the coastal trading towns of East Africa. Throughout it all, the turquoise Indian Ocean provides a stunning backdrop.
