8 Day Kenya Classic Golf Safari: Nairobi, Diani & Vipingo Ridge
This eight-day golf holiday pairs two of Nairobi’s top clubs with Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. Start at the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club and the historic Muthaiga Golf Club in Nairobi, then fly to Diani for beach and golf at Diamonds Leisure Lodge Beach & Golf Resort, and finish with two nights at Vipingo Ridge on the north coast, home of the Baobab Course.
There is time between rounds for the beach, a Nairobi city tour with giraffes and the Karen Blixen Museum, and coastal excursions such as snorkelling and Mombasa’s Old Town. Green fees are paid locally, so you only pay for the rounds you play.
