If you want your next holiday to be out of the ordinary, consider heading to Kenya, where you can enjoy unique experiences from your wildest dreams.

Embark on a Hot Air Safari

Going on a safari and taking a hot air balloon ride are on many people’s bucket lists. In Kenya, you can kill two birds with one stone by floating above the Savanna on a Hot Air Safari.

Eat Out in a Cave

At Ali Barbour’s Cave Restaraunt, you can enjoy your dinner inside a cave, with an open roof so you can see the stars.

The lessons we learnt from our first photo-worthy dining experience: 1. We're not made for the gap yah lifestyle. The fine dining lifestyle is too good! If you're reading this, big travel brand, please sponsor us 😂 2. You can get full from really amazing smelling food fumes. This place doesn't fit within our £33pp a day budget, so we just had a couple of pricey ciders instead and then went home to our backpackers to eat. However, the sweet smelling food gave us life. Alongside the free, hand cut and home-fried crisps the bartender (who must have seen us salivating at the aromas) kept on feeding us. 3. When a place does a dining experience right it makes a real difference. Ali Barbour has been around for 35+ years and the open-air caves even longer! Despite only having drinks we felt like royalty from start to finish – they even provided us a free ride home. So, if you're in Diani we recommend (actually, we insist) you have an Ali Barbour dining experience. If the food tastes as good as it smells, you will not regret it. #Diani #Kenya #AliBarboursCave

Watch the Whales

The Watamu Protected Area on the Kenyan Coast is a wonderful place to watch whales and dolphins. You can even spot the rare humpback whale here.

Admire Pink Flamingos

At Lake Nakuru National Park, you can watch thousands of pink flamingos during the hot season in the early months of the year. If you are into animal photography, it is a spectacular sight.

Skydive Above the Kenyan Coast

There are many places you can skydive but few views are arguably as spectacular as the Kenyan coast. Even if you are scared of heights, it is worth considering taking the leap for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
