Diani Beach on Kenya’s South Coast is consistently rated one of Africa’s top beach destinations. The 17-kilometre stretch of coral-white sand, lined with swaying palm trees and lapped by warm Indian Ocean waters, provides the perfect antidote to days of dusty game drives.
The offshore reef hosts spectacular marine life — sea turtles, dolphins, colourful reef fish, and whale sharks during season. Watersports options include kite surfing, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, and glass-bottomed boat tours. The nearby Colobus Conservation Centre offers memorable encounters with the striking black and white colobus monkeys that inhabit the coastal forest.
