Diani Holiday

About an hour south of Mombasa, the sparkling white sands and lush greenery of Diani invite you to relax under a beach umbrella with a refreshing drink. Try a camel ride for the tourist experience or book a bike tour inland for a glimpse of life in local villages.

Overview:

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 has been voted Africa’s leading beach destination for 5 years running.

Diani is known for its coral reefs, black-and-white colobus monkeys, and for the closely located Shimba Hills National Reserve, a wildlife reserve which looks out over the Indian Ocean.

Diani Beach is also a popular kitesurfing, jet skiing, and snorkelling location.

The 16th century Kongo Mosque is located at the Northern tip of Diani Beach, where the Kongo river flows into the ocean separating Diani beach from Tiwi. It is the last remaining ancient Swahili structure in Diani.

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.
