Silky white sands, warm turquoise waters and palm-lined streets; Diani is the sliver of paradise marking the border where the African continent meets the vast Indian Ocean. A beautiful tropical beach retreat, it's often added at the end of a safari in Kenya for a few days' relaxation.
Located 30km south of Mombasa, this south coast beach is surrounded by the warm Indian Ocean, with countless beach resorts to accommodate you during your stay. Diani Beach is everything that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise – rolling white sands perfect for sunbathing, crystal clear waters perfect for snorkeling, and an abundance of wildlife to discover. Perfect for everyone from families to couples, visitors choose to head to Diani for a few days at the end of a safari in Kenya, but it’s great as a standalone getaway too.
Marine parks have been established all along Diani Beach – these are areas of protected waters that conserve marine life and the ecosystem. They’re well worth a visit, and a great place for snorkelling and diving. Kenya is one of the few places in the world where reef sharks are seen frequently. These waters are also home to the endangered Green and Hawksbill turtles which can be seen whilst exploring under the surface. When visiting, remember to bring an underwater camera!
Diani Beach is one of the greatest water sports destinations in East Africa. Kayaking, jet-skiing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddle boarding and scuba-diving are all possible – whatever your pace or skill level, you’ll find something to experience at Diani.
About 50km from Diani beach, is a protected sanctuary of coral reefs and small islands inhabited by dolphins, turtles, birds and uncountable fish.
It’s is a great hotspot for diving, snorkelling, and island bird watching, and it provides easy access to the Shimoni caves – ancient coral caves home to bats and the location of sacred worship by local communities.
This 39km² underwater sanctuary is located on the southern coast of Kenya, near the Tanzanian border. You can visit the marine park all year round. However, we recommend visiting between October to April when the waters are much clearer due to calmer sea
Shimba Hills National Reserve is a small rainforest park located just 15km from Diani Beach. The 300km² protected sanctuary is home to numerous elephants, mongooses, monkeys, the endangered Sable Antelope, as well as countless bird species. Visit Mwalunganje Elephant Sanctuary within the reserve. Suitable for all ages, it’s an informative elephant haven, providing information on how they support animal welfare and local communities. The sanctuary was originally formed to create pathways for the herbivore giants to roam undisturbed amongst the entire nature reserve. You can get a great view of Shimba Hills from Diani Beach. Shimba Hills is a sanctuary of biodiversity where you can get the chance to see the magnificent waterfalls, sable antelopes as well as the elephants. Apart from Day trips or two days with one overnight stay at Shimba Hills, you can also take one of a safari tour that start from beach hotels in Mombasa or any resort in Diani Beach.
Nostalgic ambience to relax, rewind and rejuvenate in this idyllic breathtaking holiday / vacation hideaway.
